Football season is in full swing and whether you are an NFL or college fan you can attest to the fact that football season is what we look forward to all summer long.
As much as we love the summer, we cannot wait to break out our team apparel and get ready for tailgates, crisp fall weather and some football. There really is nothing better then going to a football game, and if you're lucky enough to go to a D1 college football school I envy you every weekend.
Football season is the best season but for some of us it ain't easy, especially if you're a Jets fan...
1. Tailgating
When it comes to tailgates people do not mess around. College football is home to some of the best tailgate parties across the country. Beers being shotgunned and food being grilled are the keys to a football fans heart.
2. School traditions
Every school has some sort of tradition, either a chant or fight song that gets the entire stadium rocking or wearing certain colors in certain sections of the stadium.
3. Topic of conversation for 5 months long
Football season means that no matter who your talking to its socially acceptable to just talk about the game that past weekend or the following for the entire duration of football season.
4. Rivalries
Really nothing comes close to the feelings you have during your teams rival game. You usually mental prepare all week leading up to it and once it finally comes you're usually on edge the entire time.
5. Pride for your school/team
You love your team even after a horrible loss. The pride you have for your team runs blood deep, and college student sections at games these days are way too legit.
6. Being under the lights
In High school it used to be all about friday night lights, but now its all about being under those lights on Saturday's or Sunday's.
7. Nothing better than a W
A win is a win and no one will argue with that.
8. The weather
Seriously fall/winter weather and football go hand in hand it just adds to the experience.
9. Panic attacks during an OT game
In the moment this is so not fun, but really it just comes along with the territory.
10. Let's not forget about the cheerleaders.
College cheerleaders are just as much apart of football season, and they are pretty damn incredible.
