No other sport really matters: When someone asks, “What are your top three sports,” you answer with nothing but these: NFL, NCAA football, and high school football. Nothing else. 

Your phone screams college football fan: That phone is filled with sports apps, notifications about every single team every day that your team does, and your wallpaper is either a photo of the stadium or a photo of the mascot. Your camera roll, needless to say, is filled with pictures of those kickass players – or you and your friends at the game. 

It’s in every conversation: The waiter asks what you want for lunch. Of course, you answer: “An SEC championship, or a 12-win season, or a date with that cute girl at the game.” It’s all about the game until the waiter shakes you out of your fantasy and dumps the menu on your lap. 

Multiple fantasy football league player: There’s a separate league for family, friends, coworkers, and even complete strangers. Everybody does that, right? 

College football vacations: You plan your trips and vacations around your favorite team’s schedule, and you’re on your way to the Super Bowl even before the season has even started.
