Girl's Guide Events: Now...I Bleed Purple and Gold For UW Husky Football

It's football season; for me that means my Facebook feed is filled with play-by-play accounts of whichever game is on, neighbors that roar in celebration and a brother that virtually disappears for a few months and resurfaces with a fantasy football trophy (What do you even do with that?!?!).

I'd hardly be described as a "football fan," but I am a natural cheerleader. My high kicks are AHHMAZING and I was the "S" in mustangs my senior year of high school. The first "S" not the second.

Thanks to a special invite from UW, I had the opportunity to attend the UW vs University of Hawaii game with Fran Thompson, my sis-in-law and contributor to the soon-to-launch Girls Guide to Portland.



We declared our loyalties... I was purple and she was green; after all, she is a UH alum. Within minutes of being in the packed stadium, it was easy to see college football is like no other - the spirit, the fans, the excitement!



And as much as the team rocked, its the ladies that make football look so good. Attending is no excuse for a "scrub day" - these ladies were dressed to the nines in UW gear. Decked out in purple and gold, they took sporty spice to a whole new level!

The excitement was so contagious, I'm hooked. I've been shopping for UW hoodies; next time, I gotta go in style!! Watch out CO-EDS!

As a Seattleite you've got to go at least once. Tailgating, anyone?!

GO HUSKIES!
