		<description><![CDATA[Tailgating season is just around the corner with the start of college football season almost underway! College football draws in hundreds of thousands of fans every Saturday cheering on their team in person or from the couch at home. ESPN hosts a show, College GameDay, at a different school every Saturday. They travel around the country from school to school giving highlights, recaps and predictions of all the games going on, as well as the game of the week, which is the host school that Saturday playing one of their rivals.

This year the top five teams in the rankings are:  the Oklahoma Sooners, Alabama Crimson Tide, Oregon Ducks, Louisiana State Tigers, and Boise State Broncos. You can catch these teams as well as many others in action for the first time over Labor Day weekend!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It became a routine to organize our lives and annual commitments around the Penn State football schedule.

Why do we continue to do it?  Simply put, it's much more engaging to watch a game in person than it is to watch it on TV.  It gets back to the experience of being there.  And the fact that you miss a lot of action on the field when you rely on the TV monitors and sports-casters to tell you what's happening.

Plus, there are the bragging rights of having been there, both for frustrating losses and for incredible turn-around wins.  During freak October snowstorms or torrential New Year's day rain.

Last year, as I was approaching my 100th game in a row, I decided that perhaps it was time to write a blog about the fan experience of following Penn State football.

Follow me this fall by visiting my blog at www.viewfromstands.blogspot.com.

Or look for occasional guest columns on Football101Women as we prepare for and enjoy the coming football season.

I will enjoy getting to know you and learning about your passion for football.

		<description><![CDATA[For the first ten years of our marriage, we lived in Easton, PA.  I worked as a marketing director for a high-technology firm in central New Jersey.

That’s where I learned the value of following sports and being knowledgeable about sports. It helped me professionally in terms of being considered “one of the guys” as a female in a male-dominated high-tech workplace.  As we all know, in the workplace, easy-going informal relationships can lead to formal work opportunities.  And they did.

Every Monday morning, there would be a string of co-workers in my office, mostly male, to talk about Saturday’s college football games.  There were a number of co-workers who loved Penn State, including some alumni.  But there were also Michigan, Ohio State, Northwestern, Rutgers, USC, and Notre Dame fans.

Our common bond was football.  The banter was constant about who would win each week.  It was a great deal of fun to be in the center of all this discussion.

My co-workers were clearly admiring of the fact that I actually attended Penn State games. They were quite envious of me as I traveled to watch Penn State play.

While others watched games on TV, I had the bragging rights of having been in the stands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As it has for the last 120 years, the Rose Bowl will start off with The Tournament of Roses. Originally run by Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club to showcase their new home's mild weather and blooming flowers, the parade has evolved into a sell-out attraction with floats, equestrians and marching bands.

In 1916 (after a failed attempt in 1902, when the football game was replaced with Roman-style chariot races!), the Tournament of Roses added to the day’s festivities a football game – the first post season college football game ever held. Nowadays, the parade features high-tech computerized animation and exotic natural materials from around the world. And floats can take up to a year to construct. Now, THAT's a football game in my book!]]></description>
