Signs You'll See at Every College Gameday
2015 College Gameday Signs

The countdown has begun to this week's College Gameday and one of the most anticipated games of the season. Two top five ranked teams, Clemson and Louisville will play this Saturday night. The winner of this game will likely win the ACC Atlantic Division, get a chance to play for an ACC Championship, and maybe receive a spot in this year's College Football Playoffs.

Hours before this game happens, this Saturday morning a group of ESPN sports reporters will take over Clemson's Bowman Field for College Gameday. The event is a great time for fans to show their school spirit, trash talk teams, and get excited for an upcoming important game. No matter where College Gameday takes place, whether it be in Clemson, Tuscaloosa, Columbus, Baton Rouge, or elsewhere, you will always see the following ten types of Gameday signs.

1. Signs so simple they are funny


If you know anything about Florida and its large population of grandparents and retired citizens, you'll find this simple, handwritten sign hilarious.

2. A sign referencing a commercial

This sign was inspired by Peyton Manning's new Allstate commercials. Manning was a quarterback at Tennessee long before his seasons with the Broncos, making this Virginia Tech/Tennessee Gameday sign even more clever.

3. Signs bashing a team not even playing in the big game

Just a few weeks ago this Alabama fan showed up at a College Gameday event celebrating the game between LSU and Wisconsin.

4. Signs providing commentary on current news events

This beautiful but simple sign was created right after the Paris shootings last year. In the past few months similar shootings have occurred, making this sign's message even more powerful.

5. Signs referencing a popular television show or movie

Nicholas Cage's National Treasure character may have been successful in taking the Declaration of Independence, but Oklahoma failed to "steal the national championship" last year. The team lost to Clemson in the College Playoffs.

6. A sign making a political statement

I think I know who this sign maker is voting for...

7. A "mom" or "dad" sign

I bet this college student's parents were pleased to see this sign on television. Someone has some explaining to do.

8. A person without a sign but dressed up as a mascot

If you don't feel like making a sign, you can always dress up like a Volunteer, Hokie, or your school's mascot

9. Signs making fun of former players and coaches

Unlike this fan, I'm wishing Tim Tebow all the best as he begins his baseball career.

10. Signs that incorporate the ESPN letters

The classic ESPN acronym signs are probably the easiest to make. During almost every College Gameday the funniest (but not always most politically correct) one is featured on television.

Next time you watch College Gameday on television or show up to the event in person, see if you can find these ten types of signs.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
