16 Reasons We Are Excited For Football Season

Football season is around the corner and we can hardly wait. So to pass the time to kick off, we made a list of all the things we love about football as told by gifs.

1. Touchdowns

I think we can all agree that TD’s are the best thing about football. Unless they are being scored by the other team… and then they suck.

2. Tailgating

With grandmas like these, it’s no wonder Michigan came in at #1 in our ranking of the most engaged fans.

3. Cheering

Cheering on your favorite team is all well and good but cheering on national TV is AWESOME! Just ask this guy.

4. Interceptions

Even when they break your heart, a good interception is a thing of beauty to behold.

5. Food

Football food should probably occupy its own section on the food pyramid.

6. Beer

Enough said.

7. Fantasy Football

Here’s hoping your favorite team’s victory doesn’t contribute to your fantasy football team’s loss.

8. Coaches

Some are truly inspirational while others are truly insane; it’s even better if they’re both.

9. Tackles

Big hits are exciting to watch… unless they are coming from your own team.

10. Lee Corso

A healthy dose of Lee Corso is the perfect start to a Saturday in the fall.

11. High Fives

What better way to say “heck yes” than with a quality high five. And what better way to say “I’m drunk” than with a high five fail.

12. Bands

Helping us sing our fight songs in spite of the fact that we can’t carry a tune.

13. Cheerleaders

Don’t even try to pretend that you don’t partially go to the games to see the cheerleaders. It’s ok, we understand.

14. Mascots

What’s not to love about mascots? Whether they are animals or people or a funny looking piece of fruit, mascots makes everything better.

15. This Guy

Because he’s awesome.

16. And This

Be sure to enter TicketCity's King of the Tailgate contest on Facebook for a chance to be as cool as this guy with your own Cruzin Cooler and tickets to the game of your choice.
