IT'S PLAYOFF TIME IN TEXAS! My Dallas Cowboys are the number one seed in the NFC and to be quite honest, that terrifies me. I don't know what this says about me as a fan, but every week I sit there with my mouth gaping open as Dak and Zeke so casually move the ball down the field and say, "Wait, are the Cowboys good at football?????" Week after week, it freaks me out.

Speaking of playoffs, I have some very important Fantasy Football housekeeping information to attend to. Drumroll please....

First, let's recap the VTIM 4th Annual All Girl's Fantasy Football League! BIG CONGRATS 💥💥💥are in order for our 2016 CHAMPION LARISSA! This was only Larissa's second season playing and she absolutely killed it! Her team, anchored by the league leading fantasy beast David Johnson, pulled out the championship win to bring the trophy home! Now, keep in mind this is not an easy league to win because there are 20 (YES, TWENTY!!) people in this league. So, big congrats Larissa, you should be proud of yourself!!

Also, big shoutout to our second and third place winners who also bring home some cash money! Maddie from It's Von Miller Time took home second place and Olga's Team Rodgers That secured the third place spot!!

Thanks to everyone who played in my league this year, it was a blast and plan on being back next year for the 5th season of our All Girl's Fantasy Football League!!

Not to toot my own horn while we're at it, but to go ahead and toot my own horn while we're at it... I won the NFL Fan Style Blogger League! Would you believe I've been playing Fantasy Football for TEN YEARS and this is the first time I've ever won???? Needless to say, I was pretty freaking pumped for that!

TO CELEBRATE MY VICTORY... How about $100 Gift Card Giveaway to NFL Fan Style?? All you have to do is enter on Instagram by leaving a comment on my latest post and tagging a friend. Want an extra chance to win? I'll also be giving away a second $100 Gift Card over on Dallas Love List this morning, so be sure to enter there, too!

So, how about a little roll call!?!? Shall we?

A Cute Fall Gameday Look

Holy nap time needed, y'all. Those of you on the East Coast - God Bless YOU! What time did you make it to bed last night? 1am? Later? Was I secretly hoping they'd roll out the tarp and the game would finish at a reasonable hour the following evening --- NOOOO! Maybe. Ok, I was. My bedtime is 10pm, sometimes 10:30pm if I'm feeling really young and crazy.

Oh well, small price to pay for what I would consider to be the best baseball game I've ever seen, and I didn't even have a dog in the fight.

So, congrats to you Cubs fans, you really managed to put things into perspective for me. Here I am, crying out WOE IS ME all over Knoxville, all over Dallas, because Tennessee Football is in an 18 year drought. If WHEN Tennessee (obviously not this year) wins the National Championship, I'll lose my absolute mind. My mind will literally be lost, and we are only going on 18 years. Shoot, I totally lost it when Tennessee beat Florida to end an 11 year streak. I cannot fathom how high I would be riding today if my team ended a 108 year curse.

So, again, CHEERS to you, Cubbies! Enjoy it.

Speaking of Tennessee though, I've been searching high and low this season to find you guys new small businesses, boutiques and shops to buy your gameday gear from. I hope you'll love today's collaboration as much as I do. Meet Gameday Couture and Shop Flying Fox.

If you are a Shark Tank watcher like I am, you might recognize Gameday Couture when they formed a partnership with my boy, Mark Cuban on the show in 2014. They produce the cutest, fashionable, gameday gear for everything from your favorite NCAA team to NBA team. This Tennessee Power T Quilted Puffer Vest (also available in other schools too) is so unique and guaranteed to get all of the gameday compliments.

Use code: VENUSTRAPPEDINMARS for 15% off your order at Gameday Couture!

Shop Flying Fox is a NOLA based shop created by Tiffany Napper. Once the (*ahem* stupid, IMO) clear bag rule came around a few years ago, Shop Flying Fox was founded in an effort to make the perfect clear, stadium approved bag. See Also: The Devil Wears Ziplock.

Shop Flying Fox's stadium approved bag is the cutest. I've worn it to the Vols at Texas A&M game and the Bama vs. Vols game and got compliments the entire walk to the stadium. It is absolutely perfect for gameday, and won't make you feel like you're carrying around a freezer bag.

I hope you'll check out these two companies, I think you're going to dig them!

#GBO!

Cute Gameday Shirts for Women

I've always said I prefer tickets over flowers, but this shirt takes it to another level!

My friend, and fellow #VFL (short for Vol For Life - Without the Possibility of Parole) Meredith started this new line of gameday tees for ladies at the beginning of this season and I'm so pumped to introduce them to you today. There are tons of options, even if you're not a Vol fan. If you are a Vol fan though (hooray, go you, I like you) welcome to your new favorite Etsy shop.

I'm always so impressed by my friends who have an idea, and bring it to fruition. That is just what Meredith did with Gameday Darling. She's all over the Knoxville area and I'm hoping you guys will check out her stuff, it is really cute! She is also on Facebook and Instagram, be sure to tag @gamedaydarling on insta to be featured!

On another, but highly related note, Meredith is also a big Cubs fan......

Now, I realize that game one of the world series came and went and I didn't even touch on it on the blog. Perhaps I'm just bitter, because I feel like my Rangers got the major short end of the stick by being forced to play their first two games smack dab in the middle of the work day. Or maybe I'm bitter because they haven't refunded us for the four ALCS game one tickets we bought yet. Yeah, if we could get that 4-hundo back that be greeaaaaaaaaaat.

Or maybe I'm not bitter at all and I'm going all in on the CUBS. You see, I went to Wrigley once and fell in love so much that I changed OUT of an Atlanta Braves shirt and IN TO a Cubs shirt. Full post on that HERE. Go ahead and shake your head at me - if you're shaking your head, you've probably never been to Wrigley. It's magical. It's magical and cursed.

I thought I'd dig up a couple of graphics from the archives, just as a reminder for those who are not aware of the Cubs curse:

All of this can be explained by one of the most famous curses of all time...

The Curse of the Billygoat

The Cubs have now obviously won the NLCS (National League Championship) but will they break the curse for good and win their first World Series since 1908?

They'll have to put in some work. They are down 0-1 against Cleveland, who looked totally dominant last night. Game two is tonight with an early first pitch: 6:08pm CST on Fox!

The AT&T Stadium Secret You Need To Know Before Your Next Cowboys Game

So I imagine a few of you were coming here for me to explain myself and my snapchats (@iamsarahwebb they're still up, if you missed them) last night. Sadly though, you're going to have to wait until Monday for that event recap. A girl needs her time to edit photos and such, you know the drill! It'll be worth the wait, I promise.

Today I thought I'd let you in on my super secret, AT&T Stadium trick for maximizing your Cowboys game experience on the cheap. I first learned about this secret when I partnered with the Cowboys last year for their Female Fan Gameday Ritual promotion.

There is this place in AT&T stadium, ON FIELD LEVEL, called the Draft Kings Lounge. When I say field level, I mean you walk out and you see football player's butts in your face.

FIELD LEVEL, PEOPLE.
You have your very own bar with little to no wait, seating, and you are right there on the sideline, looking at the other team's bench. Close enough to yell whatever you so choose at Eli Manning or Kirk Cousins.

What do you think these field level passes cost?

$1,000?
$1,500?
$2,000+???

What if it told you it was just a $125 add-on to any ticket at AT&T stadium, including the standing room only tickets?!

A standing room only ticket will run you about $29. So you can be FIELD LEVEL for $154.

Why am I being so nice and telling you all of this? Well, I dunno the answer to that yet.
*Insert contemplation face emoji here*

There are also other "experiences" you can add on to your ticket, including:

|| Miller Lite Club Pass ($150 extra) ||

Located on the Cowboys sideline at field level, rather than visitor sideline (hence why $25 more than DK Lounge)

BONUS - the Cowboys have to go THROUGH the Miller Lite Club in order to get to the locker room, so you'll see them up close and personal pre-game, halftime and post game.

|| High Five the Cowboys Before Warm Ups ($250 extra) ||

Meh. not as great of a deal, but it's an option for you if you have money to spend

|| Miller Lite Corral VIP Mezzanine - Pregame ($100 extra) ||

Includes light snacks, beer, soda and water for the 3 hours leading up to kickoff

|| Postgame Field Pass ($150 extra) ||

Run and hop and skip and jump on the field after the game... it's a lot of fun, I did it last year

You can also get VIP Sideline Pre-Game Passes ($500/person) and even enter an auction to win the opportunity for your group to hang out in Jerry Jones' Perch 30 minutes!

"SO--- Sarah, you have all these great things for us, how the heck do we get them??!?!"

How to Purchase Cowboys Experiences

Step One: Download the AT&T Stadium App from the App Store

Step Two: Open app and select "Cowboys Experiences" at the bottom

Step Three: Create an account

Step Four: Click "Shop Now" located just under the headline "Make Every event more memorable with Cowboys Experiences"

Step Five: Starting the Wednesday before the game you want to attend, purchase your experiences directly on the app.

That's it. My super secret trick to maximizing your Cowboys experience on the cheap. Just don't forget, you need at least a Standing Room Only ticket in order to purchase an "Experience" -- cool, right?

What To Wear To A Cowboys Game

Cowboys Gameday Witten Tank HERE || Wilson Official Football HERE

I'm not going to lie, I thought that the feedback on my last post would be ok, but I had zero idea that you guys would seemingly be pumped to help support me. I assumed a few of you sweet souls would comment and tell me... ohh bless your heart that sounds nice, sweetie. That's the way my mom gives me support when she wants to be supportive and encouraging but has no idea what I'm talking about. Gotta love moms, no one out there better.

So, I think I'm going to give this whole "MEDIUM" fashion thing a try. I mean, why not? What do I have to lose? Just my time and potentially relationship with my photographer who I happen to live with..... PSHT! No biggie!

In other more football specific news, in case you missed it - this entire NFL season I'm partnering with NFL Fan Style as one of eight bloggers participating in an NFL Fan Style Fantasy Football League!

Tips and Strategy for Nailing Your Fantasy Football Draft

NFL Fan Style X Venus Trapped in Mars

Today I thought I'd bring you some gameday outfit inspo with the help of the NFL Shop! I chose this Jason Witten 82 tank, because he is my favorite player, and not just because we went to the same college --- ok, I lie, that's mostly the reason. Here in Dallas, we don't have cooler temps for tailgating until at least November, so tank tops are a necessity.

This year, the NFL Shop has some of the best clothing options actually made and cut for a female shape, and they aren't pink!! Find your favorite team here. If you have a little girl at home, you gotta check out these tutu dresses. I'm contemplating getting Veenie one, would that be weird?!?

And for one last item of business on this glorious Monday (lolss)....

I'm giving away $100 to NFL Shop.......

Check Insta for the details.
Giveaway ends today at 4pm!

Cute Gameday Outfit Ideas + Gameday Giveaway

I feel like I spend my entire year on the lookout for the perfect college gameday outfit. More specifically, awesome tees made just for women -- that ARE NOT pink, of course. Finding Tennessee Football gameday outfits in Texas isn't exactly easy, but thank the lawwwd for the internet! When I found Give Her Six's cute line of gameday tee's and tanks, I knew I had to contact them for a gameday outfit idea collaboration.

Not a Tennessee fan? Aside from the fact that my initial reaction is, "WHAT, WHY?!?", Give Her Six also caters to other schools too, including gameday outfits and cute gameday t-shirts for Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Memphis and Vandy.

I picked out a few of my favorite t-shirts and am pumped to share them with you today. The first shirt I LOVED and knew I had to get my hands on was their "Feels Like 98" tank. For those who are unaware ("WHAT, WHY?!") 1998 was the last time my dear Tennessee Vols won the National Championship.
