With the new college football season ready to begin, I have to plan my watching schedule. By setting the schedule, I can plan for the football parties and make sure there are enough snacks and "cold beverages" on hand.
The "big games", to me, are the rivalry games. We all love to watch. Somehow, when my friends are around, we end up doing the "wave" when our team makes a great play.
The yelling at the TV when a bad call is made drives my better half and dog into the other room. Some guys just can't control their colorful language.
My friends help with the cleanup after the game. But I wish my friends would quit painting their faces in team colors—when they come over, they scare the dog.
For the 2009 season, here are some rivalries and dates to plan on.
