If you’re anything like our family, the lead up to and start of college football season is an event. Coinciding with the beginning of the new school year and team sports for our family, it’s the official end of summer and kick-off to what will hopefully be a cooler queso- and wing-filled fall. We will be unfurling our alma mater’s flag in just a little over a week and digging out our favorite college hoodies (I mean, to wear inside obviously. We’re not that hardcore.) to celebrate the return of college football.
If you love a good tailgate, throw your spare couch and grill in the back of your Tacoma, and head out to watch our phenom local college faves as they open the new season.
