Hobby Page Blog

For this week's web page assignment, I chose to talk about football. During the months of September through January, football takes over my weekends. From Saturday tailgates to Sunday Fantasy Football, my weekends are basically tied up, sometimes causing me to procrastinate on school work.

On Saturdays, the primary focus is UT football. I am a Texas State fan, but UT was my first love. My boyfriend's cousins are publishers for Study Breaks Magazine and are Texas Exes. Every week they have a themed tailgate called Shotgun 30 that has been recognized by College Game Day and local stations as an ultimate tailgate. They are sponsored by various Texas vodkas and Budweiser brand beers. They are basically a great time. I even purchased Big 12 tickets at the new Cowboys Stadium just in case UT goes.

If the UT game is away, then I go to the Texas State tailgate. Working at The University Star, I usually hang out at their tailgate, or I'll visit the KTSW tent with my boyfriend who works there. I even go to the game. Even if we lose, the tailgates and games are always fun.

Sundays are an event as well. My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys, but even if they have a bye week, the rest of the games are important as well, because I am in a fantasy football league, so I have players from various different teams that I root for. I am currently 3-1 and in 5th place out of 12 in my league. Being from Houston, I also root for the Texans, but whether they win or lose isn't a primary concern of mine.

In my new page for my web site, I will outline all this information in greater detail as well as the true meaning of team pride. We are only a month into football season, but it is already proving to be extremely interesting.
