One Great Season

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? Don't know what to get for the college football fan in your life?

Worry no more; below is the One Great Season 2010 Holiday Gift Guide:

+ The College Football Book — At 11 inches by 12 inches, and weighing more than four pounds, you'd think this 288-page coffee table book would run at least $40. But this all-encompassing Sports Illustrated publication costs only half that, and tells you everything you need to know about America's greatest sport through 2007.

+ Michigan vs. Ohio State: The Rivalry — Take an hour-long look inside the greatest rivalry in all of sports. There are plenty of specially made documentaries on Ohio State-Michigan, but this offering from HBO is the best I've seen. It's a steal at $12 on Amazon.

+ 3-Pack Magnet Set — I don't personally get into decorating your car with sports paraphernalia, but I know this stuff is popular. And the fine folks at CollegeFootballStore.com have these magnet packs for hundreds of teams, including your favorite college football squad, for only $15.

+ Game Day Crock Pot — This 3-quart slow cooker is perfect for the tailgate party or the bowl-day gathering at your house. Make your favorite dip or stew or even a batch of My Mom's Chili. A crock pot lives a long life, so $50 is definitely worth it.

+ Team Apparel — Hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys and other gear are always no-brainers. Just remember your brother, boyfriend, husband or son is probably packing on a few pounds this time of year, so be sure to size your item accordingly.
