Sequins and Sea Breezes: Friday Five

Friday Five

8/29/2014


Happy Friday dolls! I am SO excited for this weekend for so many different reasons. First being that football season is OFFICIALLY back! While I'm incredibly sad that our first home game is not only not at "home" but it's also not in the country I am SUPER excited for my UCF Knights to be taking over Dublin! It sucks knowing I have to get up tomorrow at 8:00 am (not that I don't usually get up before then anyway on the weekends) but my fingers are crossed we'll be able to pull off the win and I can maybe take a nap later! 


So in honor of football being back I decided this week's link up with Amanda would be dedicated to my favorite UCF football moments!


1. Our first home game in the new stadium. I had already graduated by the time we built a stadium on campus but it was such a blast going to the first home game and having that whole experience. It didn't hurt that we won our game either! This was the ONLY time I ever participated in the tradition of throwing someone up in the air for each number of points you score. It was terrifying. 


2. Our first conference championship win! Not even going to lie, this picture was taken in December...and it was pretty hot out. But it was so awesome to be there for UCF's first conference championship win! We're a pretty young school if you haven't figured that out already!


3. This was one of my favorite tailgates we had! Since we were playing Miami and they're only a few hours away it was absolutely packed! We didn't go as all out for this tailgate as we do now but I had so much fun tailgating literally ALL day in the center of all the action. We didn't win the game but it was still a blast!


4. Our first bowl game win! We drove all the way to Memphis, TN to watch UCF play Georgia on New Year's Eve. It was freezing, it was drizzling all day (for those of you who have heard me use the term "car-gating" this is where I coined the term LOL) and literally seconds after this picture was taken it started POURING. But we beat Georgia and had a great night despite the rain! 


5. My final favorite UCF football memory... oh who am I kidding. I can't choose just 5! Last season was definitely one of my favorites hands down since we were able to finish the season with only one loss and beat Baylor in the Tostitos Bowl! Instead of picking just one moment I picked a few of my favorite tailgating moments. I absolutely cannot wait for this season to start and I am so ready for the game tomorrow! 

Do you guys have any football tailgating traditions? Any teams your particularly excited to see this year?  Hope everyone has an amazing and safe holiday weekend! Hope your team wins... unless it's Penn State, Arkansas or Navy. Sorry if you cheer for them but I'll be rooting against you this weekend!
