Save Money When Hosting Events Football season has arrived, which means many of you might want to host a Saturday or Sunday afternoon football party. Don't let the cost of hosting a get together stop you from having friends over. Here are some tips that will help you save money over the football season. Host a Potluck If you plan to host regular events serve snacks and beverages. You will have just as much fun as to if you were to offer a complete meal. If food is a major highlight of your events make sure that you make meal preparation a group thing. You are already providing the house and entertainment for the event and many guests would love to bring over their favorite dish. You could provide the main meal and ask everyone else to bring a side dishes and desert. Send out the invitation on a group email or text so that everyone can "reply all" as to what they might want to bring. This is a nice way to ensure that you don't have duplicates such as 5 desserts and no salads. Stay Away from Pre-packaged Foods Popping items in the microwave may be convenient; however, they tend to be more expensive than making appetizers from scratch. Appetizers are not required either. BYOB Alcohol is expensive and you may have friends who drink a lot. Have a "bring your own" beverage party and you will find that reduces your expenses greatly. This way your friends can have their own preference so everyone is happy. Think about it, it is already impossible to have what every friend prefers to drink available. Shop at the Dollar Store It is okay to purchase utensils, plates and cups from the Dollar Store. You can even get cleaning supplies and other items from there too. Brand names are not a requirement and it is very unlikely that your guests will notice anyways. Save Money Buying Sports Apparel It is always fun to host a party when everyone is wearing their teams jersey or sweatshirt. Suggest to your friends that they wear their team's apparel, even if they are rooting for the other team! One college site that provides great selection and prices is http://recreationandsportsworld.com/. By following these steps, hosting football events will not send you to bankruptcy. Florida State Seminoles (6-0) (4-0 ACC)
The Seminoles have shown the nation that they don’t plan on falling off anytime soon. They are showing everyone that they’ve quickly moved on from the Jameis Winston era. They found a new superstar quarterback in Notre Dame transfer Everett Golson. He has thrown for 1449 yds., 11 TDs and no picks in his first year with the Seminoles, and running back Dalvin Cook is having great with 955 yds. and 10 TDs. Florida State is in the middle of the pact defensively as their ranked 24th overall in the nation. They will battle it out with Clemson on November 7 for the #1 spot in the ACC, and they may see each other in the ACC Championship Game. But, the winner of that game could determine which ACC team is in one of the playoff spots. For a customized football jersey view: http://recreationandsportsworld.com/customized-college-football-jerseys After a huge victory at Texas Tech, TCU looks to prove all of the doubters wrong on their road to the Final Four. TCU felt like they got snubbed from the playoffs last year, and they will look to prove this year that they belong in it. Let’s take a look at some of the key factors in TCU’s run for the playoffs in 2015. Trevone Boykin needs to be elite- The most important part of this TCU team right now, quarterback Trevone Boykin needs to keep his level of play at a very high level if TCU wants a chance at the final four. He has improved with every game, as he has only been playing QB for two years now after making the transition from CB. He is an excellent athlete and has a very good arm as well. His touch on deep throws is impeccable, and he can make a lot of throws that other QB’s in the nation cannot. He already has 1470 passing yards and 14 passing TD’s on the season, as he looks to break most of the passing records set at TCU. Look for Boykin to continue his dominance as TCU’s offense will roll through this season as undoubtedly one of the most potent offenses in the nation. The ground game needs to take pressure off of Boykin- Starting RB Aaron Green has done an excellent job of keeping defenses honest as he has rumbled for 434 yards and 6 td’s on 73 carries this season. Many critics went into this season thinking that TCU was one-dimensional with only a good passing game that could be exploited by smart defenses. However, Aaron Green has proven them wrong with his relentless running style and TCU’s strong run blocking. TCU will keep feeding Aaron Green as long as he keeps running the way he has, as they look to take some of the load off of Trevone Boykin. Josh Doctson needs to stay healthy- TCU’s best receiver has also been one of the best receivers in the whole nation, as he has amassed 593 receiving yards and 6 td’s on 35 reception. He is always Trevone Boykin’s first read on every play, and for good reason. Doctson has consistently shown that he can burn CB’s with a wide array of routes. He also has elite height, at 6’4 tall he is an absolute nightmare in the red zone, where Boykin will look his way on most plays inside the opponent’s 20 yard line. If Doctson can play through this whole season, The connection between Boykin and him will be a fun one to watch. TCU’s offense will be elite this year, there is no question about that. The defense will need to step up if they want a legitimate chance at a national championship, something I think that they are capable of doing. If you are a fan of TCU, wear your Horned Frogs football jersey with pride on game day! Other TCU apparel and accessories are available. Before embarking on your tailgating event someone needs to make sure that everyone knows the rules of the venue. There will be regulations and pre-registering requirements. You need to plan in advance where you’re going to park and who is going to get there first to save the spot.
You will find everyone dressed casually at tailgate events. Die-hard college fans will have these items in their wardrobe, the team jersey, hat T-shirt and even flags to wave. Jerseys can be special ordered, personalized with your name on them and the number of your favorite team player. In fact you can choose just about any name you want to put on your jersey, it doesn’t have to be your own first or last name. The number can also be of your own choosing, perhaps a birthday or even your own lucky number. There are a few universities that offer personalized football jerseys; including: Colorado Buffaloes Michigan State Spartans Indiana Hoosiers Louisville Cardinals Michigan Wolverines Nebraska Cornhuskers Notre Dame Fighting Irish Texas A&M Aggies For more information on sizes, colors and where to buy custom/personalized football jerseys view: http://recreationandsportsworld.com/personalized-jersey Order your jersey today! Tailgating has become part of the American landscape and it is here to stay. The competition of college football has become increasingly more popular over the past two decades as the size of the crowds and the expansion of major stadiums across the country can attest. The growth of this enthusiasm can be largely attributed to the loyalty of sports fans and alumni of Colleges and Universities across the country. One such college that explodes with enthusiasm every game day is the Michigan State University Spartans. There is certainly no shortage of fan loyalty or participation at this University. Those sports fans fortunate enough to live in or near East Lansing and actually sit in Spartan stadium have a real opportunity to show their support both before and after any game. As with any college or University, you can imagine the different apparel that is available for them to purchase, not only from the school, but from many online web sites as well. The inventory is endless: Tee shirts, sweatshirts, hats, key chains, sweaters, blankets, flags, pennants. The list goes on forever. Every Saturday morning during the fall, loyal Spartans gather in the parking lots, pubs, garages and the great stadium to begin their celebration with a great sense of pride. There is nowhere else you will find a cause more united then at a Spartan gathering. You can hear the crescendo building as game time nears. As you walk toward the stadium, you are surrounded by the sounds of screaming fans, pockets of RVs with massive grills spewing awesome smelling smoke, and fans dressed and painted in green and white. This is entertainment at its finest. For those who do not know Michigan State is not a small university. As a matter of fact, it is the seventh largest university in the United States bolstering an enrollment just shy of 50,000. That is a lot of Tee Shirts, Key Chains and blankets. Moreover, let us not forget our Mascot, Sparty, who has been roaming the sidelines since the 1989 season. The cartoon looking mascot known the world over as Sparty the Spartan is physically unmistakable with his oversized head, bulging biceps, washboard abs, and green armor. No University could really survive without an outstanding Alumni program and Michigan State provides one of the best. It is usually the support of the Alumni program at any College or University that often spear heads the programs that raise money for new ventures such as stadiums, new classes, new or additional athletic equipment and band uniforms. The Alumni Association at Michigan State is a significant part of building and expanding fan loyalty at this University. So this next fall if you are one of the lucky 75,000 to be able to attend a Michigan State game, squeeze into your seat and watch the team explode on the field, be sure to show your support and wear that symbol of Spartan loyalty. Let those players see nothing but green and white in those stands. Help do your share by showing your school pride. Do it for yourself, your peers and most of all your team. Go Spartans! The Michigan State Spartans enter the 2014 coming off an impressive 2013 campaign. The Spartans finished the regular season with an impressive 34-24 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. The win pushed the Spartans to 12-1 and a chance to play Stanford in the Rose Bowl. The Spartans success would continue rolling to a 24-20 victory against the number five ranked Stanford. The 2014 season presents an even bigger challenge as the team has a difficult schedule that could feature as many as four or five ranked teams when it comes time to play them. The biggest of these challenges comes at the hand of the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks have been in the running the past few seasons for the National Championship game and 2014 should be no different. As far as in the Big Ten their three toughest games all come at home against Nebraska, Michigan and Ohio State. The Spartans will also have a few new conference matchups against the Maryland Terps and Rutgers who both are making their season debut in the Big Ten. Toughest Conference Game: When you look at the toughest conference game the first one that jumps out is the game on November 8th against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Buckeyes have put together a great run under Urban Meyer but the last game of the season on the road against the Penn St. Nittany Lions could be the biggest challenge. Despite losing their head coach the Nittany Lions were able to replace him with James Franklin from Vanderbilt. Toughest Non-Conference Game: As you look at their out of conference games against Jacksonville State, Oregon Ducks, East Michigan and Wyoming the choice for the toughest matchup is a easy call. The game against the Ducks come on the road at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The Ducks pride themselves on a fast paced offensive team that likes to score. Last season the Ducks ranked second in total offense with 7,345 yards and tied for third with 45.5 points per game. Upset Alert: If you take out the tough matchups against the top four teams and look at the remaining teams alive that could upset them the Maryland Terps could be that team. The Terps will have talented wide receiver Stefon Diggs back after suffering a season ending injury. Last season the Terps got off to a good start before injuries started to take a toll on the team. Top Returning Starters from 2013: Connor Cook will be returning for his sophomore season after finishing last season with 2,755 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. Cook’s big play in the Big Ten Championship Game and Rose Bowl helped seal a 13-1 record. In the final two games of the season Cook finished with 636 passing yards, five touchdown passes and two interceptions. This is a challenging season for the Michigan State Spartan football team and fans. Support the Spartans by watching their Saturday games and sporting Spartan apparel. The Michigan Wolverines football team enters 2014 looking for a better performance than last year. The Wolverines finished second to last in the Legends Division of the Big Ten and tied for eighth overall with a 3-5 record in the conference. Overall the team finished with a 7-6 record after starting the season with five straight wins. The Wolverines would fall to Kansas State 31-14 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl to finish the season. Brady Hoke will look for his team to improve in 2014 and should have an opportunity to put together some wins early. The toughest matchup in the first five games will come against Notre Dame on the road on September 6th. Last season the Wolverine were able to defeat the Fighting Irish 41-30 to move to 2-0. The Wolverines have a difficult back to back matchup against Penn State before traveling to take on Michigan State. The other tough matchup in the Big Ten comes at the end of the season on the road against Ohio State. The Wolverines will look to revenge their one point loss last season at home. Toughest Conference Game: The Wolverines have two games on their conference schedule that will be key in how the team finishes. These games are against Michigan State on October 25th and Ohio State on November 29th. The Ohio State matchup on paper early on seems to be the most difficult matchup after losing to both teams last season. Toughest Non-Conference Game: Notre Dame on the road is the only out of conference matchup that presents a challenge. The other three games come against Appalachian State, Miami of Ohio and Utah. If the Wolverines can get another big game out of Devon Gardner like the five touchdown performance last season the team could leave Notre Dame with a win. Upset Alert: The matchup against Northwestern on the road on November 8th could be that one mental lapse that the team faces all season. After last seasons three overtime win against the Wildcats look for another battle in 2014. Top Returning Starters from 2013: Devon Gardner is returning for his sophomore season at quarterback and the Wolverine fans should be excited. Gardner showed at times last season against Notre Dame he has the ability to play against some of the better schools. The one area that Gardner has to work on is his turnovers after throwing 11 interceptions last season. Gardner finished the season with 2,960 yards passing long with 483 yards rushing and a combined 32 touchdowns. Gardner will also have starting tight end Devin Funchess back for the 2014 season. Funchess finished the season with 49 catches for 748 yards and six touchdowns. Michigan fans and alumni support your Michigan football team this fall.
