Let summer take a back seat and let the good times roll.

Football season in undeniably the best time of year. It's the time of year where communities come together and the most undesirable personality traits emerge. Saturdays are centered around where to watch the game, devouring good ole tailgating food, and enjoying a few beers (or 15).

It's a season of smiling (unless the team you support is in a state of pity). Talent lies up and down the state lines and some players are simply fun to watch regardless of who they play for.

ESPN game days are filled with a sea of colors from both opponents and cheers are loud enough for the entire state to hear.

1. Food at the tailgates

There's nothing better than a reason to devour a bucket of fried chicken, tacos, chips, cookies, and of course some mimosas and beer. Tailgates are filled with great aromas, everyone cheering with joy. Everyone is dressed with smiles and very excited to be there.

It's only on game days where I have no problem hopping out of bed the first time my alarm goes off.

2. The community atmosphere

Football gives friends and family a reason to come together. The more, the merrier.

3. It's a reason to get dressed up

Every girl loves a reason to get dressed up and just about every guy looks cute in a bow tie.

4. The electric feel in the stadium

The overall atmosphere, there's nothing like it. Neither weather nor age will diminish the excitement of a college football stadium.

5. Rivalry games

The highly anticipated games are looked forward to every year, all year long. Each year, bizarre bets are made and smack talking never fails to end.

It's a good time for any fan regardless of what jersey is on your back or what cheer you scream or even the color you bleed. Game days are holidays and the most fun. Good luck to each fan, now go enjoy yourself as this season unfolds.
