Well folks, it’s about that time. Football Sundays are back in action. It’s the day where fans from all over are on the edge of their seats coaching their television on what they think good football looks like. “Come on guys, punch it in. No turnovers.” “Can we please look like we at least know how to throw a football?” or “My grandma can throw better than that!” are all phrases you’d hear from your die-hard football fans. An intense four hours, clammy hands, and lots of buffalo chicken dip to ease the frustration preoccupy our Sunday afternoons until we can finally rest in a sweet victory.

There are a multitude ways the beloved sport is celebrated throughout the season. Each fan club acquires their own football Sunday. I know your asking yourself, I need to know what this girl’s football Sunday looks like because you love reading my articles. Well fear not, your wish is my command. Here are a few of my favorite things football Sunday’s and the season brings:

1. Screaming at the TV like you know what you're talking about

I like to yell random things at the T.V. to make it know that I like football, but the problem is I don’t know what I’m talking about half the time. But I find if you yell and you yell when other people yell, they tend to think you do, and eventually you become adopted into the football wolf pack.

2. Buffalo Chicken Dip

The tasty goodness of buffalo chicken dip is essential to have. All you need is two cans of shredded chicken, a small bag of shredded cheddar cheese, one package (2 blocks) of cream cheese, the amount of desire Frank’s Red Hot, and a cup of Ranch. Mix all those simple ingredients to not only fill your stomach with a delicious snack but also perfect your day of football.

3. Being With Family

Nothing feels more comfortable than when your screaming at a T.V. while eating good food with the people you find the coolest. Family is the most fun when you’re bonding on the most relaxing day of the week (that’s if your not counting the frustration of the game).

4. Meeting Random Strangers

Have you ever noticed that when you confidently wear your jersey around people who don’t even know you give you the upmost respect? You get the classic, “Hey. Did you see the game last night?” In a few minutes, you’re laughing and freaking out over that one play that one guy made that one game, and now it seems as though you and this person have been best friends for years. Yeah, football does that.

5. The Belief

Lastly, it’s funny how football creates the “die-hard” belief inside you. It’s amazing how one team can make you feel so much. The belief in your team and the belief in your city grows more than ever. The victory becomes one of your fondest memories and the players become like brothers. The team becomes almost like a second family.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
