Show Us YOUR team! {and AMAZING Blog Friends}

I knew I had to participate in "Show Us YOUR Team" when my girly Kristin blogged about her Minnesota Goph's! and when she mentioned she knows OSU will beat on them next time they face eachother.

College football season is right around the corner and I'm counting down the days, so today I'm going to show you MY team {even though you prob already know this.}

My team is the Ohio State Buckeyes!!!!!!

{just look at that stadium..perfection}

I was born and raised a Buckeye here in Columbus, Ohio.

The whole city pretty much revolves around Ohio State football and I wouldn't have it any other way. There is so much team spirit here that it's contagious....

You see, weddings in Columbus are often PLANNED AROUND the Ohio State football schedule and it's considered a sin to have a wedding on the big Ohio State vs Michigan {our rival} gameday, which is always the last game of the year. You just don't do it. Each and every of my Saturdays are spent down on campus tailgaiting from 9am - however late I can make it out before hitting the sack.

Some say Christmas is their favorite time of year, I say football season is my favorite time of year. I absolutely love getting decked out in SCARLET AND GREY {our team colors} and heading down to the stadium. Ohio State has received a lot of negative press this year, but the love I have for my Buckeyes will never die. :)

I've been extremely lucky for the past couple years because my work can provide me tickets in to one of the executive suites, which have an AMAZING view of the field {see pics above & 1 below}, free food, & drinks.

But we aren't above partying in the parking lots too....

even Rocky is a Buckeye....

and this looks like nothing but fun...doesn't it?!

I'm a pro cornhole player, if you are wondering.

Even the blistering cold temperatures in the winter

can't keep us from having a good time....

Last but not least...

just because I want to make it perfectly clear how much FUN tailgaiting at OSU is...

this is my best friend Lindsay (on the far right) who is a MICHIGAN fan and she is decked out in OSU gear because she loves OSU tailgaiting so much.

{sorry Linds - had to}

SO...Where are all my college football fanatics that want to come make a visit when your team plays OSU?!?

I promise to show you a good time!!!!

Now it's your turn to share with me who YOUR team is :-)

Alright, friends. Look what I got in the mail last week.

That's a surprise package from one of my very best friends Jess!

{who I met via this little blog}

you know, this gorg southern belle...

She used to blog on over at Polka Dots, Pearls, and Pink OH MY! but had a blog makeover and her new blog is The Kentucky Priss - which I must say, fits her a lot better. ;)

Anyways, she is an absolute doll and one of the nicest girls I've ever met. She is actually visiting me this OCTOBER for a weekend and I'm going to show her how we party during Ohio State football season! I. CANNOT. WAIT. {She is a Kentucky fan, but WILL be wearing OSU colors that day ;}

So, she sends me packages like whoa for no particular reason {how sweet?!}

 and I lurve them.

Here's what's inside.

Girl KNOWS my 2 favorite things this summer...

a black {with pink underneath} strapless lace dress.

NEVER WORN!

So cute.

and...

this adorable red romper

that is so so comfy.

Can you say Ohio State Red?!

Isn't she the best friend ever?

You should go to her new blog and tell her how awesome she is.

Thank you Jess - loveeeess you & can't wait for your visit.
