Football Season is here!!!

I am a Vikings fan, but my fiance is a Colts fan so we watch them a lot more (since they are on more than the Vikings) and I have to admit that I am starting to like the Colts almost as much as my Vikings.

I am more of a college sports fan, because they are playing for the love of the game not for the bu-cu bucks!! Just my opinion........so go SUNDEVILS!!

Are you ready for some football? Oh yes!!!

Go Dolphins!! Yes, i am aware of their record last season. But i am not a bandwagon fan and i will support my team and remain a loyal fan no matter what!!

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.

I have recently become a huge cardinals fan! My boyfriend has always loved football me not so much. Not until my cousin from california bought season tickets for the cardinals first season at UPS. He would give me the tickets since he could not make it out from cali all the time and we would go and I got hooked form the first game. Its been a couple seasons and I love going to the games and just watching football overall. I cant wait! im also very excited for ASU football!!! woohooo....

Our son just started third grade yesterday, and my husband remarked that the beginning of the school year excites him because he knows that means football season is near!
I am more of a collegiate sports fan- of course we watch NFL football, but my husband and I prefer college football.
We are big-time ASU fans - I'm an alumni(well, sort of - I did go there for a few years but I never actually got a degree!), and he is a lifelong fan of the sun devils. We just renewed our season tickets to ASU football this afternoon, as a matter of fact. Our son is going to be so excited, I think he may be the biggest fan of all...we have the cutest picture we took of him standing with the choir at his school in last years Christmas play...all the other kids are smiling politely,posing for pictures, and my son is making the ASU pitchfork sign for my husband.. He's just starting flag football this year, so it is going to be football mania in our house this fall.

Now - I am a HUGE basketball fan - being from Kentucky, it's in your blood - basketball is akin to religion in those parts -so of course I am a Kentucky Wildcat fanatic. I have relatives who have had heart attacks and died while listening to UK on the radio, and I can remember my father breaking coffee tables, etc, from pounding on them while watching Wildcat games on TV. I have high hopes for the program this year - they have floundered in the past few years, but greatness is in their destiny so it's just a matter of time before they are the "comeback Cats" again.
I am thinking of sending my son to a basketball camp at the University of Kentucky next year - he did the Herb Sendek camp this summer, and if at all possible I'm sending him to both in 2009.

Go Big Blue!!!

GO TITANS!!!

I pull for the Cardinals but I love the Tennessee Titans.

Broncos all the way!!!!!!!!

GO VIKINGS!!!!!!! Family together to watch the games, big bowls of chili and beer. Football season is the greatest. Who says football is only for men?

I was born a NY Giant fan. The stadium is literally 5 miles from where I grew up! My family has had 8 season tickets since the stadium was built. My husband is the biggest NYG fan on the planet and I used to wonder if those tickets were the reason he was with me :). We enjoyed 3 seasons of games together before we moved here, and he obviously loves me more than I realized when he gave them up. Now, he only sheds a few tears while watching any home games on the Sunday Ticket!

Oh and yes, last January was the icing on the cake! Having moved here, had a superbowl in glendale, and our Giants actually go all the way...whoo hoo! He just about pooped himself!

Anyone's hubby's take the whole fantasy football as seriously as mine? It's a bit much if you ask me!! Drafts and trades and blah blah blah. Let's just watch the game!!!

LOVE football season. It's not quite the same without the crisp fall nights, but still am so excited. Go VIKINGS!

My marriage is built on team rivalry - he's from Iowa and hates the Vikings. We love watching the Big Ten games, especially Gopher/Hawkeye games. We're hoping to get to an ASU game, but we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if we actually cheered for the same team (he'd probably pick the other just to spite me!)

Denver -- since they had vertically striped socks. Small cities (like my hometown) turn into ghost towns when the Broncos play. My second favorite is whomever is playing Dallas.

So, is anyone at all interested in a fantasy football league? Since I'm not working in an office, I'm afraid I'll miss out this year.

Since I grew up in MN, I'm a Vikings fan. My husband is a Titans fan.

I was pleased to see the Redskins logo for your picture!! My "hometown team" as well. I grew up in Potomac, MD and went to Wootton HS in Rockville.
When the Redskins won the super bowl with John Riggins, I remember how ALL public schools in DC, MD and VA considered it an excused absence if you went downtown to the victory parade (in the pouring rain) to cheer for the Smurfs, the Fun Bunch, the Hogs, etc. etc.
Obviously, there were about 4 people out of 1,600 at my school that day! :)

I giggled though reading Braybee's comments about the Giants. So with the Superbowl here...did you all go to it?
I wasn't much of a Giants fan (being a Redskins fan), but we ended up having several of Payton and Eli Manning's family stay with us for the game (Archie Manning's sister and her husband). Archie and Payton then got us tickets as a thank you. It was way cool having the Mannings here in our home for the festivities...so I definitely was pleased that they won!

My husband becomes glued to the TV when football season begins. He's from Kansas City, so he has long been a fan. We used to go every year since his brother had several season tickets. They've been losers of late, so I've not heard him speak much of them.

He also follows Missouri football.

I'm not into either, but I'll watch every now and then to be a supportive wife.

LOVE football and hockey!! I'm a Cards fan all the way. I am an AZ native and have been a fan since they came here. My husband loves the NYG. He was mad at me because I wouldn't let him sell our car & boat so he could get Superbowl tickets back in January!! I made up for it and got him tickets for when the Giants come in November.

By the way, University of Phoenix stadium holds daily tours. Adults are $6 and kids are $4. Its a little over an hour long. You get to go into the visiting teams locker room. I have pics of my kids sitting in what was Manning's locker from the Superbowl! One hint if you go....DON'T buy your tickets online, buy them at the ticket window. Ticketmaster doubles the price with all of their extra little charges! I paid $17 for (1) adult and (2) children at the stadium as opposed to $43 from Ticketmaster online!!

Yes, I have 3 boys. No, I am not trying for a girl.

I can't wait! I LOVE football! I am a true Cardinals fan for several years now. Win or lose...that is my team! I've had season tickets for about 6 years now. Woohoo!! I can't wait! This Thursday is the first home game and I AM THERE! 4th floor on the 25 yard line home side...cheering on my team! What's funny is my husband isn't too much of a football fan (I know, hard to believe), but he goes with me and tries. haha. The last home game of the season, I yelled to give the ball to Boldin...next thing you know they did and he scored a touchdown. I jumped up, yelling, I called that play, I called that play. I turn around to high five my hubby and he's sitting down! What? Are you kidding me? Your sitting down after a touchdown? I'll continue to try to get him more involved....haha

There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one!

we are on the visitors side and one game i forgot which one we were told to sit down because we were blocking evryones view supposedly. my boyfriend is 6'8 and im 6'0 i think all the fans were just mad they were losing.

Our whole family is into football and I can not wait to really get back into it after the Olympics. Last year we did family fantasy football and it really got me back into following NFL football. I was a die hard Cleveland Browns fan growing up but since they moved to Baltimore I have had a hard time embracing the new team. Our family is divided with two rooting for the Browns, 2 rooting for the Bengals and 1 Steeler's fan.
One thing we can all agree on though is that we are all die hard OSU Buckeye fans.
Go Bucks!

I, too, am an AZ native and love the Cardinals - win or lose! My husband is a Steelers fan. Fortunately they are not in the same division so we still like each other. ;0) We have season tickets and enjoy tailgating from sun up to sun down!

GO CARDS!
