Preseason Planning - Part 2

College football season arrives tomorrow and temperatures here in New England have been adding to the feeling the Fall is here. I used to be a summer girl, but as I've gotten a little older (and had to work through summer as opposed to spending it poolside) autumn has become my favorite season. It's got it all - the change of the leaves making for beautiful scenery, the temps are cool enough to break out a sweater, but warm enough to still be outside, and of course, football!
I spent yesterday wrapping up my preseason preparations in anticipation of the first games this week. Most people have boxes of decorations for Christmas stashed in the basement or a spare closet. I have a box for football season. It was time to break out the contents and put them in their game-day homes.

Included in the box:

• 2 Terrible Towels (Go Steelers!)
• black and gold megaphone
• football themed plates and napkins
• football & goal post toothpicks
  
• football-shaped tray
• football cheese spreaders
  
• burnt orange & white Longhorns blanket
• stuffed Bevo
  
• Longhorns tray
• Longhorns napkins
• Longhorns wine corks
• and of course, Game Day Beauty nail polish in Texas Longhorns Orange

Now that I've gathered my supplies, I'm ready to start planning a menu for football snacks. Next post - what to have on hand to ensure you have the makings of a football feast any time there is a game on! But first, it's time for a Hook 'Em Horns mani/pedi :)
