You know football season is approaching when ...

Thought this would be a fun thread to start ...

You know that football season is approaching when:

• You clean the man cave and run all the beer mugs through the dishwasher
• You skip over the MLB game like it’s a soap opera re-run because there's a replay of last year's Hula Bowl on ESPNU
• The closing ceremonies are over and NBC goes back to it's regular programming that you never watch
• You check DandyDon and TigerForums instead of your bank account
• You hand your wife the short list of Saturdays that you will be available over the next 5 months
• You send your jerseys to the dry cleaners
• You start checking the police reports and set alerts on your smart phone
• You see a car coming up on the inside of you with a Bama tag and you speed up so they can’t get in

 

Who?

 

When your babe pulls her tampon and you start walking backwards asking her what the penalty is for.

 

You get out your favorite shade of purple nail polish for your toes and wonder if perhaps, just perhaps, you can chance wearing your "lucky" LSU tshirt for the North Texas game, even though the tshirt endured a crushing defeat in January.

 

This is 12 months/year for me.

 

• You start stockpiling velveeta and rotel in the pantry
• You make a mad dash to clear off as many house projects as possible
• You inform your wife that the riding lawnmower has a serious issue that there is no room in the budget to address until spring
• You start recording your kids' favorite shows on Tivo so they can start using the "little" TV
• You get out the pole saw and start trimming branches that might interfere with the satellite reception

 

When the little league world series is on tv.....

 

This! Well, except for the nail polish part.

 

You repost the "I don't talk to 'bama grads" poster on FB to poke several Gumps in the eye....and you get hate back in return!
