COUNTDOWN TIMER ADDED TO TOP OF BOARD

YAY..!!!  Go Mr. Bond, GO.!! 

Since that was so easy for you.....  Make another one for start of Training Camp. Put 'em side by side or stack 'em.  You could actually leave them there quasi-permanently. Just change the drop dead date (end date) for any purpose throughout the year.!! Change the date and a new label and presto--change-o

Countdowns that can be repurposed multiple times --- YES. 

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but in the CSS Script for the board skin, there is only so much room available without adversely altering the entire skin in a way that the page wouldn't load correctly. 

If you like, since it is only fifteen more days until Training Camp, feel free to make a countdown post :)
