Female's Football Frame of Reference


Twenty-two buff bodies tackling each other on the field. ninety-thousand screaming fans in the stands. The smell of beer and sweat lingers in the air as a result of the hundreds of people's pre-game tailgating ritual. Labor Day weekend marks the day when the excitement, chaos, and boasting for one's team first begins. THIS is college football.
Boys fantasize about it, bet on it, argue about it, and talk about college football before the season even begins. Boys know each and every player while girls notice the color of the teams' uniform. Boys can spit out every statistic one could ever even inquire about, but girls are only aware of the "most handsome and good looking" players on the field. This is how the thought processes of girls vs. guys perspectives regarding college football tends to go.
This blog is going to present a new twist on college football. We are not going to focus solely on which player has the best stats of the week. Nor are we going to try to guess which team will come out holding the NCAA championship title. Our goal is to look at different aspects of the game such as things that will interest a larger and more diverse audience than just football-savvy boys; we hope to include things that will interest girls too. Putting a completely different and new spin on the game of college football is the objective here. As we enter into our senior year of high school, we know our college days will roll around sooner than we think. We envision this blog as a learning experience and hope to walk away from this with new information acquired from our college football quest for knowledge.
