Fun Things To Do During Football Season

Hopefully if you care about football season you already know this, but the NFL season kicks off tomorrow with the New Orleans Saints playing the defending Super Bowl Champs, the Indianapolis Colts.  So this will definitely be a great weekend with the 2nd round of games in the college world (OSU will handle Akron) and the first week of the NFL (the Bengals will dispose of the Ravens). 

So for anyone looking for a few ideas to do this football season, I’ve compiled a few ideas that I have given a try and will let you know I’ve enjoyed everyone of them.  So here you go:

• I’ve said it before, get a Fantasy Football team.
• Tailgate your favorite team. Here’s the basics you’ll need:
  • Get there early for a good spot
  • Bring more than enough Food and Drinks (And Ice)
  • Have Fun
  • Leave Late
• Barbeque.  Whether you’re tailgating the game or at home, this is always a good idea (Chicken, Brats, Hamburgers, whatever)
• Get tickets to the game
• Host a Football theme party at your house
• Buy Paraphernalia - Jerseys, Hats, Shirts, Foam Fingers, etc.
• Buy a New Big Screen to watch the game on (I did)
• Play Cornhole before the game starts (and after).
• Have a Chili Cookoff between your friends for Gameday on the colder days
• Test out a new beer, since you’ll be drinking beer anyways.  Any suggestions?
• Hold a Pool for money between your friend (either pick the outcome of some game or pick squares which is fun and also and a little more random).
• Blare your favorite teams music (works better with College teams for the most part).

There you have it.  Please comment below and add some of your own ideas.  NFL starts tomorrow.  Can’t wait.
