Best Football Weekend Ever Rules and Regulations (2007):

2. Jerseys worn at all times
Friday your choice
Saturday = college
Sunday = NFL

**Editor’s Note: Thank you to Rickey Booby for providing the picture, updating the rules list every year, and serving on the rule’s committee. The dizzy bat races that are referenced are more Michigan tailgate than a children’s game.
