Watching football might not be one of a girl’s favorite ways to spend her Sunday evenings, but the Super Bowl is more than just a game – commercials, guacamole and arguing which team has the cutest quarterback creates an annual social event that should be enough to lure any collegiate out of their Sunday slump. Let’s face the facts though: you might need to brush up on how to fool those around you into thinking that you actually know what you’re talking about. By the time classes roll around the next day, you probably want to contribute to conversations about which team won, which Doritos commercial had you bending over with laughter and which song Bruno Mars collaborated best with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. So sit back, find the perfect Tostito to cheese ratio, and (at least pretend to) enjoy the game with these helpful tips.
First and foremost, pick a team to root for. Whether you’re from Colorado and decide to cheer for the Broncos, or decide that the Seahawks’ blue and silver combination brings out the color in your eyes; you should definitely figure out which team you’re going to applaud and which team you’re going to swear at. Next, find your team’s fans. When they jump up and down with glee, you jump up and down with glee. When they throw food at the TV screen, you throw food at the TV screen.
If this is the first time you’re watching a football game all season long, maybe you should review some quick facts about the Broncos and the Seahawks so you don’t embarrass yourself too much by asking annoying questions in the middle of a play. If you don’t want to be interrupted in the middle of watching a Clydesdale horse prancing around in a Budweiser commercial, then don’t interrupt the guys right before a field goal. The Broncos are from Denver, Colorado and the Seahawks are from Seattle, Washington. The Super Bowl this year is considered a dream matchup, since the Broncos have the best offense in the league and the Seahawks have the best defensive line. The Super Bowl will be hosted in New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium this year, which is where you might’ve seen Taylor Swift or Bon Jovi perform during your summer expeditions. The Broncos’ quarterback is the adorable Peyton Manning, and the Seahawks’ quarterbacks are Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.
It’s important to realize who you’re watching the game with. If you’re watching with your boyfriend or guy friends who enjoy watching 300 pound men flip each other over, then it’s probably in your best interest to not ask questions like “How many points do you get if you score a touchdown?” because they won’t want to hear it. But, if you’re watching with your girlfriends, then by all means go ahead and debate over which team has the cutest players.
If all else fails, find a friend who doesn’t know what’s going on either and stuff your faces with as many chicken wings as possible. If you’re 21 or older, kick back and have a few laughs and enjoy a brew with the boys. It might sound cliché, but just have fun. No matter what, the halftime show and commercials are always worth it. Be sure to tune in February 2 to watch Super Bowl XLVIII and enjoy an endless supply of guacamole!
