Hello Everyone. I need some ideas for a football fan survival kit. I live in Georgia and college football is a big deal down here. The big rivalry is between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers. I am a Ga fan. My nephew and I thought of the idea but need some input from you. Some of the things I have so far is: Cough drops- to ease the pain of cheering your team Eraser- to erase the game in your memory if you lose. Button- to remember to button your lip to prevent a fight with the other team. Cotton balls- to cushion your tushy on the bench. (I thought about using cotton balls to plug your ears so you don't hear the other team cheering)
Please help me with some more ideas. My mind it just drawing a blank. Thanks to you all.
Tissues? To hand to the other team's fans when they lose. Or to wipe away the tears of joy when your team wins. Yeah, I know it's weak but maybe it will inspire someone with something better.
Duct tape (in case of foul language)
Construction Paper football (for autographs)
Vitamin (to keep your strength up for all the yelling)
Diaper (in case of accidents)
Pencil/paper - for keeping score
10000 dollar bar - to help pay for the players
Paper clip - for clipping
ear plugs - for when you don't want to hear the score
band aid - to cover your wounds if they loose
flag - for cheering
rose- for making up to your wife, the football widow
For years I have anonymously hounded one of my friends about being an Auburn alum and a RABID Tiger football fan.
This past Christmas, I created "The 2009 Auburn Tiger Football Fan Survival Kit".
It included an Auburn styrofoam cooler with "SURVIVAL KIT" stenciled in two places, bought at Wal-Mart. Inside was a flattened Auburn Tiger junior football on top of a season consolation/gift description letter.
Beneath the letter was cover page with all the 2009 season's opponent mascots; which sat on top of a cardboard box with twelve different fifths of hard alcoholic beverages, in chronological game order.
Each whiskey, PGA or bourbon was purchased with special consideration of the oppoent. For example, when Auburn plays Georgia, the drink commemorating the game is Peach Schnapps; for homecoming, Peppermint Schnapps; for Tennessee, Jack Daniel's, etc.
Each bottle was draped with a paper label featuring the appropriate opponent's mascot and "It's [date given] and you're playing [opponent's mascot]. In case of imminent defeat, break seal and chug entire contents".
Regrettably, I had to rush the development and anonymous delivery because it was right at Christmas, so I didn't get pictures. But I was told it was an immense hit with all the Alabama fans in her family.
The gag cost about $60 -- it would've been more but the liquor store gave me a huge discount.
If you're Auburn Tiger isn't a huge drunk but moderately indulges, and she/he has a sense of humore, and you're not afraid to spend a little time and money, this is the ultimate Auburn Tiger Football Fan Survival Kit.
* Kleenex try dry your tears (of happiness or sorrow) during or after the game
* Joy (liquid dishwashing detergent) to represent the joy you'll feel when your team wins (and get you started cleaning up the post-game mess)
* underwear (so he can change into clean undies after losing control of his bowels due to the disappointment of losing -- OK, that's a little gross, but some personalities might be able to get away with it)
* Make candy bar wrappers using the names of the teams or favorite players. Tape them over the wrappers that are already on candy (mini Hershey bars, etc.)
* Party supply stores (and even the party area at Wal-Mart and Target) have fun stuff that could be included, like those redneck teeth, tiaras, various types of noisemakers
