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.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
