5 Things That Make College Football Season In The South So Special

The wait is finally over.Football season is underway in the south, and the excitement for Saturday's build up all week.There is just something about the anticipation to watch your favorite team, or any team for that matter, play on that perfectly cut green field. Whether you watch the game from the stands, from a restaurant, or from your big screen and couch, what is it that makes College football season so special?

1. The hype

Game at 12? Wake up at 6am to start tailgate festivities. Along with all the good southern snacks that come along with tailgating, its an opportunity to hangout with fellow fans, and get pumped for the game. There is so much preparation that goes into watching a football game. Your whole day revolves around watching it. The roar of the fans, the playing of the band, watching the team warm up, huddling around all your friends in the stands, all anxious for the game to start.

2. Competition

Nothing is more intense than watching your team run across that field and score against the other team you absolutely hate. You want your team to do well. The yelling when the ref makes a bad call, or when your team is so close to scoring. The tension and feeling of not knowing keeps us glued to the game.


3. The feel of winning

The high of winning is unlike anything. Cheering and celebrating after a good game makes all the loses worth it.

4. Pride for your team

You walk around in your game day outfit with pride. You want everyone to know who you are rooting for, and you feel like you are apart of the team. If they lose, you are sad, if they win, you celebrate a job well done with them. You know the coach, you know the players, and you celebrate when they make a good catch, or score a touchdown.


5. It's something you grew up with

I know ever since I was little I would dress up in a Gator's cheerleading outfit to cheer on the Gators with my mom. Every Saturday we would watch the games, and would even take trips to go to the stadiums. You were raised to watch and love everything about football.


Excited for Game Day yet?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
