ESPN

I am a huge fan of college football — so naturally, you can imagine how pumped I was to actually get paid to hang out at the biggest games across the U.S. What an insane time we had!

ESPN Road Trip was less about x’s and o’s, and more about the experience: the revelries, the rivalries, and the traditions of college football. The tailgates, the fans, the sideline action – you can’t beat it!

From riding the Sooner Schooner to becoming the 2nd woman in history to fire off Smokey the Cannon during the Red River Rivalry (I don’t know who was the first…I’m just siked to be the 2nd) what a fun experience. We were even lucky enough to do some funny bits with the likes of legendary coach Vince Dooley, Lance Armstrong and Lee Corso. Here’s some of the highlights of our “Road Trip”.
