Gameday | 2017 LSU Football Season Recap

Gameday, Life in Football Gameday Outfit, Gameday Recap, LSU, Sideline Style, Working in Sports January 7, 2018

It’s hard to believe that I just finished my sixth season with the LSU Football team. Each year brings new memories, friends, coaches, stadium visits, and so many experiences that I want to remember forever. We welcomed home the 2007 National Championship team (and Coach Miles!), completed our first full season under Coach O and celebrated the Comeback game versus SEC West rival Auburn. It’s hard to put every fun memory about the football season into one post, but I am going to try! Here is a full recap of my experiences and stories from the 2017 LSU football season.

Gameday | November Sideline Style

Gameday, Style Gameday Outfit, Outfits, Sideline Style December 14, 2017

I have so much fun putting together gameday outfits each football season. I think it’s something that makes working in SEC football unique, because Saturdays can become somewhat of mini fashion shows. This is the second year that I documented my sideline outfits, and I’m constantly thinking of better ways to share this. I buy quite a few items way in advance of certain games, and by the time I post these updates some things are already sold out. I’m trying to think of a way next season to share as I buy items as well as my gameday outfit updates each month of the season.

I only have one more gameday outfit to geaux this football season! We head to Orlando at the end of the month to face Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl, and I have NO CLUE what I am wearing but I better start the New Year off right. I will have to get creative with my rack of purple and gold clothes. Once we get back from the bowl game, I have a big 2017 football season recap coming plus some other new content for the blog. I hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday season so far!

Here are my other Sideline Style posts from this season:

Sideline Style | Choosing My Gameday Outfit

Gameday, Style Gameday Outfit, LSU, Outfits, Sideline Style October 24, 2017

I purchase quite a bit of purple and gold clothes and accessories throughout the year getting ready for the football season. A lot of times I already have a game in mind for when I am going to wear one item over another. I found a perfect purple dress in August and knew it was going to be my Bama outfit in November. I also scooped up the cutest gold sweater in September that is going to be either my gameday or travel outfit for the upcoming Tennessee game. It might not seem like it, but there is a science (haha) to picking out a successful gameday outfit.

We are eight games into the season, but I still have four more to dress for this year! This is what goes on in my mind when I choose what I am going to wear on the sidelines each week.

Life in Football | 2017 Season Goals

Gameday, Life in Football, Style Gameday Outfit, Outfits, Sideline Style, Working in Sports September 26, 2017

It’s hard to believe that we are already 1/3 of the way through the 2017 football season. Each year we count down from 100+ days for the season to begin, and then when it gets here it feels like it goes by so quickly. I know we are already four games down and this post would have made a lot more sense in August, but I am just now sharing my goals for the 2017 football season along with my sideline style for the month of September. Better late than never!

BE SOCIAL

I only started using Instagram a couple of seasons ago, but it – along with this blog – is one of my favorite ways to share about my life in football. I never got into Snapchat (really showing my age right here…), so I loved it when Instagram developed stories. I can put together pictures and video clips to share a behind the scenes look into LSU Football. I also regularly update my professional Facebook page with blog posts and other content. This season I want to develop a solid social plan and stick with it. I take for granted that a lot of my daily happenings are actually pretty cool, so I want to share that with other LSU fans. I have also met so many different people through social media and LSU Football, so I want to keep that little community growing.

CHANGE IT UP

Each week I have some of the same sponsored interviews that I do with Coach O and the players, but I want to come up with some new content for LSUSports.net and also for right here. This year we put together a Meet the Freshmen series that allowed me to put my editing skills to work (and also ask A LOT of questions to the talented professionals that work here). I really enjoy working on creative projects and am glad I have the opportunities to that with LSU. If you have any ideas of something you want to see on this blog or on the LSU website, let me know! I’m hoping we have something LSU football + puppy/animal related coming in the future…ideas are flowing.

LEARN

In 2011, I covered LSU’s 13-0 regular season for Scout.com – a division of Fox Sports. I went to every media session, listened to each interview the players gave, was regularly a guest on radio and constantly reading about the team and all college football teams to make sure I knew what was going on each week. Once I transitioned to just football, I know more behind the scenes stuff about the team but miss some of those old weekly habits of learning about everything. This season I want to get back some of those rituals to make sure I am doing the best job I can do, especially when it comes to reporting.

ENJOY

Sometimes the grind of football season can get to you, and I might find myself wishing the season would speed up. Not this year. Each season brings so many unique opportunities and experiences that I am focusing on enjoying this team and this year one game week at a time. Things are drastically different than they were at this time last year (read my Dear Les Miles post for more), so taking it one game at a time is not a cliche but essential to get through the season.

There are also a few random things I want to make a priority, like going out to eat with my husband and making more time for friends during these crazy months. Now, after four games I can asses where I’m at with these goals and see what I need to do to keep pushing through October!

Ladies, it’s time to Geaux Clear for all of your upcoming college and NFL football games this season, and I am here to help. LSU introduced its Geaux Clear policy last year for Tiger Stadium and all other athletic venues on campus, and it’s that time of year again to pick out your clear bags. I shared with you last season some of my favorite clear bag options, but now it’s time for an updated version of the clear bag policy.

Here are some clear options from a few of my favorite brands to help you Geaux Clear for the 2017 football season plus I included where you can find stylish clear bags online and right here in Baton Rouge.

Gameday | 2016 Sideline Style

Gameday, Life in Football, Style LSU, Outfits, Sideline Style November 29, 2016

It has been quite the 2016 football season for the Tigers! This team has been through a lot this year, but we ended the regular season with a huge win over Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night, and most importantly, we got our guy! On Saturday following our season finale, LSU named Ed Orgeron the next head coach of the LSU Tigers, and we are thrilled.

Even though the regular season is over and we only have a bowl game left to go, I am sure I will get use out of all of these sideline outfits throughout the year for recruiting functions, National Signing Day and other events.
