About this episode
Blood Week (which Jason and Ryan laid out a helpful guide to here) usually happens later in the calendar, but there's nothing stopping it from popping up earlier. We looked at three Septembers where the rankings became a real revolving door.
- 2008, when Blood Week went to both coasts
- 1974, when Blood Week become Blood Fortnight
- And 1984, when we had a whole dang BLOOD MONTH
