Every year around this time I get the shakes – we are almost a month out from college football (34 days to be exact) and Christmas comes around every weekend. Christmas after Labor Day looks like this to me – sundresses, bloody mary’s, ice cold BLs (that’s Bud Lights, guys) and did I mention college football.
With a month to go, you have plenty of time to plan, right? I took it upon myself to prepare y’all for the next four months, of what every guy considers a slice of heaven.
Tips for college football season:
- Brush up on your football facts – go read a blog or two about your alma matter and what they bring to the table. ESPN puts together an easy to read blog for various conferences. No need to weigh in with your opinion on QB #1’s arm vs. QB #2’s speed – frankly, you don’t want to be that girl. Just know what’s going on.
- Attire – sundress wear one. High heels if you are in the Grove, boots in Fort Worth. Nothing makes a guy melt faster.
- Tailgate – show up early and bring something. Unfortunately, when you reach your mid-20s it is not acceptable to show up to the Phi Delt tailgate and smoke down Natty Lights. Bring some beer, Titos, or a Chick-Fila platters will all receive high marks.

- The game – I cannot stress enough how important it is to go in. Cheer, have fun, and find creative ways to sneak in booze.
- The afterparty – go crazy. For this brief moment in time, you are back in college – head to your favorite bars and make sure you get late night.
- Gifts – did your boyfriend host a kick ass tailgate? Tell him thanks by sending them some stuff from my buddies at State Traditions. They have everything.
Hope this helps,
