Why I Love Football

I am SO excited for football season! We don't have cable but we are seriously contemplating getting it in the next few weeks just because football is starting. Yes, we are that hooked.

1. The Camaraderie

There's nothing quite like the feeling of being united in your love for your team with other fans and cheering in unison (or crying in unison, depending on the outcome). Regardless of how the game and season goes, you know you will always stay loyal to your team. This has, of course, been severely tested for Gators and Jags fans in the last few years (Ok, more than just a few years for the Jags), but the true fans love their team no matter what. #InAllKindsOfWeather

2. The Quality Time

I didn't always care much about football, but I started to get more interested in it a few years ago because Adam liked it. Instead of just watching the occasional game and just glancing up at the score, I actually started to understand the game better, and from then on I was hooked. It's become something we watch together. So even though we each have our own separate hobbies, football is one we can enjoy together and it's so much fun!

3. The Food

Obviously, the food is a big part of the fun. Chips and Salsa, Seven Layer Dip, Guacamole, Burgers, Cheese Fries, Chili, Hot Wings. All super healthy, of course.

4. The Tradition

Football is steeped in tradition, and I love hearing all of the stories behind each team, how they started, what records they have maintained, their rituals before each game.

5. The Athleticism

It's truly amazing what these guys are capable of, and it's so exciting to watch them run, throw, catch, block, and tackle with such precision and grace.

6. The Strategy

I love watching the plays and trying to figure out what their strategy is, how they plan to get the ball where it needs to go, and when things don't go like they planned, how they are able to (hopefully!) think on their feet and adjust.

7. The Clothes

Of course I had to include all of the fun clothes you get to buy in support of your team! I have a ton of Gator and Jaguar gear, and yet every time I see a cute shirt or PJ pants or a hat in the store I feel like I NEED it, because can there ever be enough team love??

Do you love football?

Why Monday, Why??

You guys, I am a total fail whale today.

 

I had fantastic weekend, I have tons of pictures, (well maybe not tons, but a lot) and I got home late last night and was way too tired to upload all of said pictures and create a coherent blog post. And then I got up this morning and Monday happened, so I still didn't upload pictures and write a blog post. Well, other than this lame one.

 

So all of this to say the weekend recap will have to wait till tomorrow ('cause I won't be able to upload pics until I get home tonight), and I will link up to all of your lovely ladies then. Because this post isn't very link-worthy. Come back tomorrow and I will be much more riveting! Or at least marginally more riveting. I can guarantee I will feel much more alert and clever than I do today, because today I feel like this:

 

 

Although there is one thing I need to mention because it is monumental:

 

THE JAGS WON!!!! OMG!!!!

 

 

I really can't top that, so I'm done.
