My two alma maters are playing each other this weekend. I'm so torn. I'll be sporting team attire from my grad school because my undergrad stuff is a half step above rags...but I tend to root for the underdogs, which would be undergrad school. Go Everyone!
My 2 older kids are going to their first game this year, and it's my first one in 3 years! I'm so excited. We're even doing a little tailgating
My husband went to Iowa state yet his family lives near Iowa City. When we go home this weekend I want to find DD some State outfits but my family always picks on us and tells us its the wrong color. Not one person in the family went to Iowa. Not one. 2 went to State.
DH is a dire hard fan of his alma mater (UC) and we're season ticket holders. I'm looking forward to actually enjoying it this year, usually I'm pregnant or stuck at home with a nursing baby. Until we get out of this godforsaken conference, I'm not getting excited. Should be good though, the stadium has undergone complete renovations in the last year. And they serve beer . We have a really fun tailgating group.
What I'm REALLY looking forward to is when our two alma maters play each other in a few weeks. We've had a hotel room in Oxford booked for months, inlaws in town to watch the kids. I'm preparing myself to feel really old, but hell, I'm going to be drunk and eating Bagel & Deli uptown at 3am so it won't be all THAT different than 11+ years ago.. shortstax6fsn..JEALOUS

I am an Iowa alum but never got into football there. Mostly because I was in law school and was just irritated that tailgaters took over the parking lot every weekend when I needed to study, lol.
I'm just going to drop this sweetness off here. He yells GO BUCKS every time he sees an Ohio State logo or Brutus, it's hilarious
ETA: I will probably suck it up and put him in one of the FSU shirts my sister got him for Saturday, only because my sister works with the team and I love her. And because Ohio State doesn't play until Monday.
Brie, that picture of C and P and P's adorable happy face makes me smile every time I see it
holly116, if I actually make it to a UC football game this season I will definitely be letting you know. I haven't been since grad school, because I'm lazy. But they have funnel cakes and beer at UC games so I need to make the effort.

And graeters! Let me know, we can always come up with extra tickets. We have seats with about 20 people and there's always a few for each game that can't make it. In fact, do you want to go Saturday lol?
It looks like I'm the only LSU fan. Oh well! I'm just ready for college football to start! We will definitely have the South Carolina game on as soon as we get home from work Thursday. I'm ready for this weekend!!
