Oh here it is. Fall. If you are a fellow Future Trophy Wife, you most likely love sports.. Okay, okay. You love sports fans, players and tailgating, and let's be real.. you still don't know why the hell the batter just got walked and why your dad keeps pronouncing "ball" with a k. What the hell is a "balk?" But you know the basics. And if you don't, I'm giving you a list of things that can help you hide your lack of sports knowledge.

Dress to Impress

Whether or not you understand a damn thing that's going on, it is important to look like you do. You need to look like you came here for the event, and not just because your dad got season tickets or because you are meeting your boyfriend's parents at their deer lease. So after you google what the team's colors are, these are a few ways to execute the perfect outfit:

• Rock a jersey/camouflage:

  • If you are cool with sporting the same outfit as your man, do it! But be sure to know something about the player whose jersey you are wearing.. and not just which celebs he dated..

• Wear a cute outfit featuring the team colors:

  • Go buy that neon orange bow to wear with your camo, or sport the team colors in style. Nothing wrong with looking cute and this is a good way to distract him from the fact that you are still trying to figure out how Tony Romo is playing because you totally thought Jessica Simpson ate him.. What? She got hungry..

Bet on the Game

Make it interesting. Bet drinks on the game. Obviously, you let him pick the team first... And let's be real, he's buying the dinner so buying first round of beers really is the better part of the deal. Just try not to throw your popcorn at him when your team starts sucking it up big time. I mean, he's not going to pick the team he thinks is going to lose. He wants to win, he's a guy.

Know Some Stats

Casually throw in some gun names that you totally googled in the check out line at Gander Mountain when you picked up your camo gear. If he tries to go into more detail, ask him a question about how you are cooking/preparing the deer. Hopefully that helps you dodge a bullet. No pun intended. 

If you are at a sporting event, don't let him know that the only thing you know about the team is Ian Kinsler is like scary photogenic. But this is totally easy, all you need to know is how likely it is for them to go into the playoffs, and know something about the most recent game. You are pretty much golden after that. 

And For The Love Of All That Is Good: Unless you are taking a picture,

PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY!

When all else fails, buy a round of drinks and a couple hot dogs.
