Football and Families

Tonight is the BCS Championship Game for College Football.

Traditions are a huge part of College Football. From the Orange Checkerboard end zones in Tennessee, to dotting the "i" at Ohio State, to the last cries of “War Eagle!” (Auburn) and "Go Ducks" (Oregon) that will fill the air tonight, College Football is full of great rituals and customs.

Families perpetuate these football traditions season after season. Fans who cheer together often turn into a kind of a family.

One such “family” is creating a VoiceQuilt right now. A group of Iowa State fans who have shared nearby seats in Jack Trice Stadium for over 25 years are banding together to share memories with the “Grandma” of their group. “Grandma” cannot attend Iowa State games any longer, so the fans are recording special memories and stories to help her relive the season. I bet there will be a more than a few chants of “ Go Cyclones!” on the soundtrack!

Auburn or Oregon? What’s your prediction tonight?

Our prediction is that College Football will continue to bond all families together...
