Friday Fun…Show Your Colors

 

The Friday before Labor Day is College Colors Day!  It celebrates the start of college football season! YEA!!!  (full disclosure…technically, football season began last Saturday.)

Larry and I consider each other lucky in that we both married someone who enjoys sports as much as they do. My nieces understand that unless it’s an emergency, they leave us alone on Saturdays during college football season. 

(We still enjoy some of the NFL but it has its issues.)

The Streib household can become a bit contentious when KU (Larry’s alma mater) plays the University of Houston (mine.) 

 

And now Brian England and Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!  and I will be making side (fun) wagers now that AZ and Utah are in the Big 12…which has 16 schools! Go Figure.

(At the Orange bowl 2008, our friend painted our faces!)

 

Share your college colors in the comments below. If you have a photo…all the better!  It doesn’t have to be your alma mater…maybe the school your child attends or the one you find yourself cheering for!

 

Don’t know your school’s colors?  Find out here.

That's right, Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! and I continue our rivalry, haha.  Mike gave me a bit of a look when he saw me walk in with my U of A shirt on, haha.  You and I will have a new rivalry since we joined the Big-12!

Jeffrey Richman it's going to be hard enough in our household. This weekend, my Astros are playing the KC Royals!  Larry has sense and roots for the Astros.

Although I love sports, I have never been a big college football (or basketball) fan. That being said, the fans go insane so it is cool to watch.

Good morning Kathy,

Love collage football and tomorrow the Longhorns play home at 2:30. Hudson has his first Pop Warner Football game at 3:00 so I'm going to his game and then catching the rest of the Longhorn game at a friend's party! Here is a picture of son John with Hudson and Aunt Melissa and Uncle Russell at a Longhorn game! We are Longhorn fans!

Hi Dorie- Hook'em Horns!! We have Longhorns and Aggies in the family. I can remember going to the (former) UT v A&M game on Thanksgiving Day. I miss that tradition. 

Good luck, Hudson!!!

I'm an Oregon State Beaver, but I also root for the Oregon Ducks unless they play my Beavers. I don't know if they will play each other anymore since they're in different conferences now. Too bad the Pac-12 broke up.

Carol Williams it's all about money, isn't it!  The Big 12 has 16 in it. Can you imagine being the parent of a player at UCF (Univ. of Central FL) and they have to travel to AZ for example to see their son play!!

Right, Kathy Streib 
It's too bad that money always prevails.

Kathy both of my boys went to different colleges.  However, the youngest one went to UCONN which is my favorite college basketball team, so those would be my colors.
