How to Handle Your School's Football Obsession if You're Not Football-Obsessed

To contact us Click HERE

Endure the mass hysteria known as football season with these mildly subversive tactics.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

Offbeat school colors
Compelling photos
"I Hate Football" group
Happy place

Step 1: Tweak the team colors

Forced to wear team colors to show your school spirit? Wear shades that are close, but a little bit off. You'll feel like less of a lemming without pissing off the football jocks.

Step 2: Ditch the pep rallies

Ditch the pep rallies however you can. If anyone asks where you were, whisper "stomach troubles" and they'll leave you alone.

No way to escape the pep rally? Stay seated when the team enters as your silent protest.

Step 3: Keep photos handy

Scan the internet for funny, weird, or shocking photos to keep on your phone. Anytime someone wants to talk football, use them to change the subject.

Step 4: Start a group

Vent with like-minded people in an "I Hate Football" group. Make plans together for game nights, when the rest of a town is at the stadium.

Step 5: Have a happy place

When all else fails, have a happy place to go to in your head when everyone around you is boring you to tears with their football obsession. And remember: sooner or later, you'll graduate!

TV star Ryan Seacrest played football for the Dunwoody High School Wildcats in Atlanta.

What I'm Watching

I downloaded a bunch of Audrey Hepburn movies. I love her, and love what I have seen, but I don't remember seeing much. I do remember My Fair Lady - I almost have that one memorized. And I recall parts of Sabrina, but I don't think I have ever seen all of the original movie. I may not have seen Roman Holiday before...

My first reaction: She's so Young! (24 when it came out? She looks younger than that, but she always did look pretty young.)

She's just perfect. Audrey plays innocent and childish so convincingly, then she learns some lessons, matures, and is fantastic at portraying that, too. Plus, she looks fantastic even when acting drugged by sleep medicines. And it's a cute story.

But Damn, that girl is teeeeeny tiny.


And somehow I'm in a Top Model phase, which I think came from my Project Runway phase. (If you like the top model premise at all, I definitely recommend Australia's and New Zealand's over the pitiful US version, but thoughts for another time.) I am currently watching Britain's 4th season, though I have already seen the 6th by download before I realized the rest were on youtube.

I am not a Top Model expert or anything, since I tend to have these on in the background while I work - I can't recall most of the contestants, but it is still some mindless fun and pretty pictures (I could do without the cat-fights). But I have to admit, I do enjoy when contestants throw a fit over the hair or posing nude... they knew what they were signing up for.

This is sad, Audrey in the same post as Top Model, but that is what I am currently watching.

America's Top Model Season 18

I was let down with the all-star season (cycle 17) - there wasn't live stuff except the first episode and there were only two or three girls I really liked and they didn't win. Plus the weird cut/ refilming of the season finale.

Anyway, having watched all of Britain's next top model, I am super excited for this US season because half of the contestants were previous UK contestants. I don't expect to recognize them all, but I am excited that the shows are colliding. :) I find it funny that the first complaints are about not understanding the accent. After watching plenty of non-US shows, I don't have that problem and forget that it can be a problem for some.

This is a fun twist because the US ones were starting to bore me. Now, if Tyra can avoid making it all about her, I might really enjoy this season.... Here's hoping!

America's Top Model Season 19

For the record, this season of Top Model is WEIRD... In an attempt to make top model seem progressive and interactive, they posted the photos on facebook in Spring and had people comment, like, and all that. Then now, during the already recorded episodes, they act like the social networking stuff is current and live. It some weird trick-type-thing: The show makers are hoping that viewers don't know any better (don't search and read up), so that they will actually think the interaction is current and that their own viewpoint matters. Maybe their opinion would matter a tiny bit if they knew anything about this social media component during filming, but not if they are tuning in for the show now. It is strange and confusing to work in a "faked-live" component, to trick the viewer into feeling useful.

Anyhow, they some ideas that aren't bad, like having college contestants and themes around that.

But I don't care much for this season so far.

1. The "faked-live" thing.
2. Because it is college-themed, they mention "Tyra's degree from Harvard" a bunch. A 9-week certificate program is not a Harvard Degree. I don't mean to sound elitist or anything, but that is not anyone's definition of a "Harvard Degree."
3. The complete cast change could have been okay. I do miss Jay Manuel and J Alexander, but they probably had other things to do, so it probably did not hurt them. Or any of the other judges, who are accomplished in their own right and used to change every few seasons anyway (except Nigel). But, since this season also has the social media thing, they have a guy who is famous on YouTube delivering the "Tyra Mail" and they have video clips and quotes from fans who did the Spring commenting stuff. It's odd extra stuff that doesn't really fit for me. I don't know about or care about the random YouTube guy or the non-expert opinions, especially if they aren't "live."
4. To make the "faked-live" thing work, they need all the contestants to participate in all the photo shoots so the numbers don't go down (so the people interacting in the Spring don't know who wins). So there's an online series to follow just to watch the eliminated people (who I usually forget about once they are gone, especially the first half or so) do their photos and one will get to come back. Yay? I don't care, really. Since I know they only did that to have pictures of everyone for the Spring social media interaction, it just seems like a falsified after-elimination-competition so they could get something out of having to take the extra photos. It just feels fake. I guess that should fit, but it's in-our-face-fake this season.

My normal downloading site is down, but it seems I need to work on tracking down the other country top model shows and just watch them instead of this season. Yes, I know I will watch this anyway, but there are so many things that bother me about this season. I just feel as a viewer they expect me to buy into the falseness of this season, like they expect the viewers not to know any better or think, at all. Give me some credit, especially during the "college-themed season."

I am currently watching Britain's 4th season, though I have already seen the 6th by download before I realized the rest were on youtube.

I am not a Top Model expert or anything, since I tend to have these on in the background while I work - I can't recall most of the contestants, but it is still some mindless fun and pretty pictures (I could do without the cat-fights). But I have to admit, I do enjoy when contestants throw a fit over the hair or posing nude... they knew what they were signing up for.

This is sad, Audrey in the same post as Top Model, but that is what I am currently watching.

America's Top Model Season 18

I was let down with the all-star season (cycle 17) - there wasn't live stuff except the first episode and there were only two or three girls I really liked and they didn't win. Plus the weird cut/ refilming of the season finale.

Anyway, having watched all of Britain's next top model, I am super excited for this US season because half of the contestants were previous UK contestants. I don't expect to recognize them all, but I am excited that the shows are colliding. :) I find it funny that the first complaints are about not understanding the accent. After watching plenty of non-US shows, I don't have that problem and forget that it can be a problem for some.

This is a fun twist because the US ones were starting to bore me. Now, if Tyra can avoid making it all about her, I might really enjoy this season.... Here's hoping!

For the record, this season of Top Model is WEIRD... In an attempt to make top model seem progressive and interactive, they posted the photos on facebook in Spring and had people comment, like, and all that. Then now, during the already recorded episodes, they act like the social networking stuff is current and live. It some weird trick-type-thing: The show makers are hoping that viewers don't know any better (don't search and read up), so that they will actually think the interaction is current and that their own viewpoint matters. Maybe their opinion would matter a tiny bit if they knew anything about this social media component during filming, but not if they are tuning in for the show now. It is strange and confusing to work in a "faked-live" component, to trick the viewer into feeling useful.

Anyhow, they some ideas that aren't bad, like having college contestants and themes around that.

But I don't care much for this season so far.

1. The "faked-live" thing.
2. Because it is college-themed, they mention "Tyra's degree from Harvard" a bunch. A 9-week certificate program is not a Harvard Degree. I don't mean to sound elitist or anything, but that is not anyone's definition of a "Harvard Degree."
3. The complete cast change could have been okay. I do miss Jay Manuel and J Alexander, but they probably had other things to do, so it probably did not hurt them. Or any of the other judges, who are accomplished in their own right and used to change every few seasons anyway (except Nigel). But, since this season also has the social media thing, they have a guy who is famous on YouTube delivering the "Tyra Mail" and they have video clips and quotes from fans who did the Spring commenting stuff. It's odd extra stuff that doesn't really fit for me. I don't know about or care about the random YouTube guy or the non-expert opinions, especially if they aren't "live."
4. To make the "faked-live" thing work, they need all the contestants to participate in all the photo shoots so the numbers don't go down (so the people interacting in the Spring don't know who wins). So there's an online series to follow just to watch the eliminated people (who I usually forget about once they are gone, especially the first half or so) do their photos and one will get to come back. Yay? I don't care, really. Since I know they only did that to have pictures of everyone for the Spring social media interaction, it just seems like a falsified after-elimination-competition so they could get something out of having to take the extra photos. It just feels fake. I guess that should fit, but it's in-our-face-fake this season.

My normal downloading site is down, but it seems I need to work on tracking down the other country top model shows and just watch them instead of this season. Yes, I know I will watch this anyway, but there are so many things that bother me about this season. I just feel as a viewer they expect me to buy into the falseness of this season, like they expect the viewers not to know any better or think, at all. Give me some credit, especially during the "college-themed season."

How to Handle Your School's Football Obsession if You're Not Football-Obsessed

To contact us Click HERE

Endure the mass hysteria known as football season with these mildly subversive tactics.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

Offbeat school colors
Compelling photos
"I Hate Football" group
Happy place

Step 1: Tweak the team colors

Forced to wear team colors to show your school spirit? Wear shades that are close, but a little bit off. You'll feel like less of a lemming without pissing off the football jocks.

Step 2: Ditch the pep rallies

Ditch the pep rallies however you can. If anyone asks where you were, whisper "stomach troubles" and they'll leave you alone.

No way to escape the pep rally? Stay seated when the team enters as your silent protest.

Step 3: Keep photos handy

Scan the internet for funny, weird, or shocking photos to keep on your phone. Anytime someone wants to talk football, use them to change the subject.

Step 4: Start a group

Vent with like-minded people in an "I Hate Football" group. Make plans together for game nights, when the rest of a town is at the stadium.

Step 5: Have a happy place

When all else fails, have a happy place to go to in your head when everyone around you is boring you to tears with their football obsession. And remember: sooner or later, you'll graduate!

TV star Ryan Seacrest played football for the Dunwoody High School Wildcats in Atlanta.

What I'm Watching

I downloaded a bunch of Audrey Hepburn movies. I love her, and love what I have seen, but I don't remember seeing much. I do remember My Fair Lady - I almost have that one memorized. And I recall parts of Sabrina, but I don't think I have ever seen all of the original movie. I may not have seen Roman Holiday before...

My first reaction: She's so Young! (24 when it came out? She looks younger than that, but she always did look pretty young.)

She's just perfect. Audrey plays innocent and childish so convincingly, then she learns some lessons, matures, and is fantastic at portraying that, too. Plus, she looks fantastic even when acting drugged by sleep medicines. And it's a cute story.

But Damn, that girl is teeeeeny tiny.

What will you bring to the table?

Whether it is due to the holiday season or because of some special event, there is always the possibility that you will receive an invitation to attend, the question is what will you wear and will you bring anything. It was supposed to be a special occasion and although Becky was surprised that she was included on the guest list, she decided that she would purchase a bottle of fine wine for the hosts, with her compliments.

This was not her first time bringing wine to an event, in fact she had decided long ago that because of her love for wine that she would join one of the best  wine clubs she had heard about. There were a few other instances where Becky used a bottle of wine to entice someone and that could be why she was invited to this particular event.


A bottle of wine is a great gift for someone who you have difficulty shopping for, in fact there are people who order wine by the case so that they can easily satisfy their shopping list in one easy sweep. Naturally you would need to make certain that none of your recipients are having issues with alcoholic beverages before you make such a contribution, but once you do the odds as that everyone will appreciate the effort you made.

You can order wine online and save the aggravation of picking it up at the local liquor store, in fact it is a good bet that you will find that your prices are that much better than making the trip yourself. Before placing your order it would be wise to look for an offer that saves you money, especially the ones that offer package deals.


Regardless of the occasion, wine will always compliment your setting. It is not an extremely potent drink and depending on the meal in front of you there will be certain wines that will greatly compliment its taste. If you are having a celebration of any kind, a few bottles of wine will add refinement to any bar. Many guests today will not drink anything other than wine in moderation, due to the dangers of overdoing it.

Whether you join the white or red wine club you will have your choice of some of the best wines available on the market to call your own.
