The Strong Belles Lenten Challenge
Feb 21, 2012 CATEGORIES: Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Southern Football, Southern Gentlemen, Southern Women, Strong Belles Challenge
Thanks for the love, but this doesn't help me!
Valentine’s day was last Tuesday. I spent the weekend in NYC ordering from seamless.com, indulging in wonderful Cuban food, and sipping on celebratory drinks. Fat Tuesday is today. I tend to take this fake holiday too seriously and eat as if I simply must put every senseless calorie in my mouth. TODAY.
Thankfully, Lent begins tomorrow. Yes, I’ll go so far as to say I need a power bigger than myself to get me back on track!
How convenient that Lent comes just a few months after our big self-improving New Year declarations. Lent, thankfully, is only 46 days and that feels a little easier to manage than 365 days of commitment.
My personal Lenten promises tend to be more about enhancing my life rather than depriving myself. I would rather volunteer more, have lunch once a week with a new friend, or add more yoga to my day. That’s partially because I hope that whatever I do add will take hold as habit after 46 days. And don’t they say habits are hard to break?
So how does all of this relate to Gridiron Belles and football?
The purpose of me writing Gridiron Belles was not only to promote the gentility and class of Southern Belles and Gents but to empower women with knowledge about an ever so popular game that nearly every Southerner obsesses over. I wanted to provide women with knowledge. Knowledge is power.
What was once accepted and expected of Belles, to just be pretty and quiet, is no longer what makes a Belle a Belle. Belles are not frail creatures waiting to be told who or how to be. We don’t need to wait for direction from a man or suggestions from our families. In my mind, a Belle is a woman who is strong, proud, capable, motivated, respectful of herself and others, goal driven, and eager to take on the challenges of life to achieve her dreams. All while being a lady.
A Belle is nothing if she is not well-rounded and her own biggest cheerleader.
Still looking for the connection?
I have found over the years that how physically fit I am directly influences how emotionally fit I am. If I’m emotionally unfit, I begin to doubt myself, my work, my purpose, etc. One quick, exhausting workout remedies the situation. SO… in an effort to further empower and encourage women to be the greatest version of themselves they can be, I am inviting you to join my Lenten promise.
I am vowing to do 100 push-ups and 100 sit ups each day of Lent. To make sure that my body is in as great of shape as my mind is. I want to live everyday not only as a Gridiron Belle but a strong and beautiful belle.
Here is how it’s going to work:
Each day, I will post on facebook when I complete my push-ups and sit-ups. When you complete yours, just “Like” the status or comment about your sets to motivate others. At the end of lent, there will be a Gridiron Belle prize for the Belle who completed the most days of being a strong belle.
I”ll be posting a picture of my arms/shoulders at the beginning and at the end.(Feel free to send in pictures of you as well, but please keep them belle appropriate!) Not only am I projecting that I will be more productive and happier but that my arms will be ready for a strapless KY Derby dress and for the upcoming season of tailgating! Yes, I’ll still let the Gents carry the coolers and tents, but that’s not because I wont be strong enough to do it myself…
Brandi Chastain, one of the strongest Belles out there! I want that feeling of success everyday...
So go ahead and have that extra slice of king cake today–tomorrow we start a new challenge of making a habit out of being fabulous –everyday–inside and out!
Xs and Os,
Christie Leigh

M-I-Z! S-E-C!
Feb 15, 2012 CATEGORIES: Alabama SEC Football, Georgia Football, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Texas A&M and Mizzou SEC Football, Uncategorized
A welcome basket from Harpos and the Alumni Association- Already mastering that Southern hospitality thing!
When the University of Missouri and Texas A&M were added to the SEC I was frozen with shock. I wasn’t sure why, geographically among other reasons, these two teams were added to what I liked to call, a very happy 12-team-SEC-family.
Of course, Commissioner Slive didn’t call me for my opinion, so I conceded (a very rare occasion) that they knew best and had the best interest of the SEC in mind.
Now, just months before Mizzou and Texas A&M officially become members of the SEC (in July), the Mizzou chapter has mostly been written for the next edition of Gridiron Belles. Thanks to a two day visit to Columbia, MO last week, I have a new found respect for Mizzou, their traditions and the wonderful people that bleed black and gold. I have no doubt, that you will too!
This is the iconic Jesse Hall. They are big on "6" at Mizzou for these last 6 standing pillars. We are big on 6 National Championships in a row so it's a great fit!
Upon my arrival to Columbia, I was welcomed by the sweetest coaches’ wife at a lunch provided by a local tailgating must-have, Hoss’s, along with the director of game day operations and the director of donor relations. I wont brag and tell you I also met with the Athletic Director, but I did, and he was a real gentleman!
What I learned in my first two hours on campus was enough information that I could write an entire Gridiron Belles Mizzou edition. But I still had another day and a half to meet with students, local businessmen, and the alumni team responsible for homecoming (Which, rumor has it, originated at Mizzou).
It takes heart to play in the SEC and these Mizzou Tigers certainly have that
Next stop was the football training center that is home to state-of-the-art workout facilities, coaches offices and the biggest indoor media screen I have ever seen to help with recruiting. It worked on me, but more importantly, it worked on the players whose photos were on the wall above– the players that had been in the first round draft the year before. Impressively, there were a handful. Every school, of course, has their song. This is Mizzous and it’s catchy (Black and Gold version coming shortly). If Chris Fowler says Mizzou is the best, we better make them feel welcomed!
Make no mistake about it, Mizzou is ready for the SEC!
Later on, I stopped by the Kappa Delta house to present to the KD ladies about what to expect when Georgia, Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Kentucky come to town. Not to mention, how to dress when they travel with the team to the “original Columbia,” Florida, and Tennessee. A simple power point showcased my collections of beautiful belles across Dixie from last season and boy if the questions about wardrobes weren’t flying from the audience! I translated a few Southern sayings for them and of course, asked them about the student traditions on campus.
Imagine if the guy on the far right was your mystery date to the KD swap in 1984... yes, look closer... That's Brad Pitt!
Again, no shortage of Southern hospitality, the KDs hosted a reception for me at the house and I was able to spend time with the girls and help them grasp what it means to be a Gridiron Belle and how much fun they will have being a part of football’s great traditions. I’m convinced that word about being a Gridiron Belle will spread across Mizzou’s campus like wildfire. The book was written for Yankee transplants and those who have never experienced a game day in Dixie– looks like the book was also written for Mizzou Tigers!
They’ll be ready.

From “Eh” dips to a Super Bowl Rundown
Feb 3, 2012 CATEGORIES: Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Super Bowl Dip Recipes, Super Bowl Rundown
I didn’t like this week’s posts either. My most sincere apologies for bland posts. For one, I’m over the dips–Sorry, Momo. And I’m certainly over the Super Bowl.
It was a down blog week thanks to all of the other great things going on here at Gridiron Belles HQ! (More about that later. Just know that I am going on an official visit to Mizzou on Monday and Tuesday!)
This week, I pretended that Gridiron Belles needed to care deeply about the Super Bowl. We just don’t. At least not nearly as much as we needed to be reviewing notes from national signing day. (Saturday Down South Recap)
Alas, no Gridiron Belle should attend a watch party without knowing a little bit about the game on the big screen. The basics still apply: Do your research on ESPN.com, follow sports enthusiast on twitter and remember that the Super Bowl is always more about the food, commercials and never-a-dull-moment-half time show!
Quick Facts Before Sunday:
- This is Super Bowl XLVI (46)
- Kick off is at 6:29pm EST
- The game is being played in Indianapolis, IN
- The two teams playing are the New York Giants and the New England Patriots
- These two teams also played in 2008 when the Giants upset the Patriots’ perfect season
- Eli Manning is the QB for the New York Giants. Eli is often referred to as “Little Brother” because his big brother is Peyton Manning… who has just been cleared to play after a season ending neck injury.
- Ole Miss is Eli Mannings alma-matter. And his father’s, Archie Manning.
- Gisel’s husband is the QB for the Patriots . He is often referred to as Tom Brady.
- Brady’s better half on the field, Rob Gronkoski (TE), had a sprained ankle… according to Patriots coach, Bill Belichick (the guy on the sideline always wearing an inappropriately casual hooded sweatshirt), Gronkoski is OK to play. He thinks.
- Madonna is performing the half time show. Apparently at one point she sits bedazzled on a thrown. The article also says the Ceelo Green is involved with his own bedazzeling. I’m going to probably watch while standing up so I can leave the room without much effort when I get embarrassed for the duo.
- Standard watch game etiquette applies: Don’t show up empty handed, be social- but not at the cost of running the game for others, send your host a thank you note!
- Rule Change: During this game, pour your drinks, fill your plates and use the restroom during the game. You know all anyone talks about on Monday is the commercials!
Enjoy the last football game for a looong time!

What’s a dip without sausage and cream cheese?
Feb 1, 2012 CATEGORIES: Food, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Southern Football, Super Bowl Dip Recipes
There seems to be no shortage of cream cheese or sausage on game days in Dixie. Us Southerners are nothing if we don’t know how to get things to stick to the ribs of our beloveds. Here are two recipes where cream cheese and sausage marry once again. You tell me if they are crowd pleasers!
I want to hate it, but I love it...

Dip, baby, dip!
Jan 31, 2012 CATEGORIES: Food, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, LSU Football, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Southern Women, Super Bowl Dip Recipes
Super Bowl Sunday is all about the dips.
At least that’s what my grandmother, the woman who taught me all about football, told me yesterday. “We’re having a Super Bowl party at my house. I’m fixing two types of chili and a lot of dips. You know, the Super Bowl is all about dips, sweetheart.”
And so it is; the big game for NFL fans is all about dips. We SEC fans know that every game is a game started with a full spread of decadent dips. Thankfully, during this season’s tour, I’ve had the opportunity to taste my fair share of the talented chefs across Dixie!
This week, I’ll be posting some of the dips that you have graciously sent my way for my next project. Before they are printed, however, I’ll need them tested and rated– which is where you come in! Please try out the recipes that I post this week and let me know what you think (Is it tasty? Was it easy? Is it a crowd pleaser? Would you give it to another Gridiron Belle?).
If you have any recipes that you want tested or used in the next Gridiron Belles project, please send them in and I’ll try out your recipe at my Super Bowl dip party!
Thanks for all of your helps, I’m looking forward to receiving all of your gridiron masterpieces!

1 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pack taco seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions
In a large serving bowl, stir together the corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, Cheddar cheese and lime juice. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper and salt. Stir to blend in seasonings, then refrigerate until chilled before serving.
We always share this dip with fans from opposing schools in an effort to help soothe their impending loss! We’ve met more fun people from other schools over food and drinks. Some have even returned each year to tailgate with us!

At Least She’s Going to Look Like Scarlett
Jan 19, 2012 CATEGORIES: Football weddings, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, SEC Football, Southern Belles, Southern Football, Southern Women
What do you do when your best friend gets engaged? You let out a girly scream, throw your hands to your face, jump up and down and pop open the bubbly!
The HUGE bottle of Korbel we used to celebrate the big day!
What do you do when said best friend calls to tell you that her wedding date is set for September 15th??? Let out a Gridiron Belle scream, throw your hands to your face in disbelief, stomp on the ground and open a bottle. (Bubbles not required for this one).
At least, I’m pretty sure that’s how it went down when the Belle-I’ve-called-my-best-friend-since-we-were-12 told me she picked the third week of football season to tie the knot…
Beautiful ring... but do you have to get married during football season???
Before she put the date in stone I was already booking my schedule for next fall. Having a sneaky suspicion that I wasn’t going to have my (wedding) cake and eat it too, I needed to triple check. Here is how the text conversation went down:
Christie Leigh: Did you pick a date yet? Trying to lock down my tour schedule for next season…And I’m willing to give you a football weekend, I’m just not sure which one I’m willing to give up…
Non-Football-Loving-Best-Friend: Haha, thanks, that’s awfully big of you. Yes, September 15th!!!!
Christie Leigh: And you are SURE????
NFLBF: Yep, pretty positive…
Christie Leigh: I love you more than football. I love you more than football. I love you more than football. I love you more than football.
NFLBF: Haha—be nice! What game is Sept 15th?
Christie Leigh: BAMA at Ark. (She has no idea about the upset possibilities of that game)
Christie Leigh: OMG, and the TX at Ole Miss game!!! (She probably thinks that is normal conference play…)
NFLBF: Ohhhh, u love me!
Christie Leigh: Yes, I do. But, I’m going to curse this date for a verrrrry long time. Know that whatever you hear me complain about, I still love you. And I think I’ll still come.
NFLBF: You’re crazy! Please don’t curse my date! Please…
(No response. I didn’t have the heart to make a promise I can’t keep.)
Three days later, this is the picture I receive from the NFLBF in LA trying on dresses.
A Southern Belle after all... looks like she's getting married at Tara
My response?
Christie Leigh: I may be peeved that you’re getting married during football season, but at least you’re going to look like Scarlett!
Xs and Os,
Christie Leigh
PS- If you’re a belle that is getting married during football season, please don’t take offense to this. My NFLBF knows how much football means to me. She also knows that I wouldn’t miss her wedding or actually damn her wedding date even if it was during another LSU v BAMA match up. But, she WILL be implementing the suggestions from my book about how to make a fall wedding enjoyable for the football-loving and the football-loathing guests alike! Congratulations, Mars– can’t wait to stand by your side as you marry the gent of your dreams!

A Thousand Thank-Yous
Jan 17, 2012 CATEGORIES: Alabama SEC Football, Athens, Auburn, Florida, Georgia Football, Gridiron Belles Tour, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, LSU Football, LSU v ALABAMA football, Ole Miss Football, SEC Football, South Carolina, Tennessee Football, Uncategorized, Vanderbilt
"Real Belles Watch Football"--and have chandeliers at their South Carolina tailgate!
These Bengel Belles had quite the story to share- Thanks for all being Gridiron Belles!
All season I’ve preached about the importance of thank you notes. Thank you notes for your tailgate hosts, thank you notes for the people who get you tickets, thank you notes for the people who have you over to watch a game. (We really all should be writing thank you notes to our team’s players…) All season, I’ve received some ever so kind thank you notes myself from fans I’ve met along the way. So, it’s only fitting that I thank YOU for all that you have inadvertently done for me this season.
Aimee introduced me to Chimes and hosted me at her competition ready tailgate
For the past 5 years I have expressed my obsession with SEC football with anyone who would listen. For research purposes, I have talked unceasingly about traditions, clothing styles, tailgate menus as well as players and coaches on the field. Then, I started asking for help. I started asking the Belles and Gents that I had met along the way to reach out to their friends to help me. I needed pictures, quotes and stories and boy did I get them!
Lesson learned: never go to a game in the Swamp before November!
If you’ve ever written your own book, you know that the chronic nerves that surface once the book is at the printer requires more support than anyone anticipates. For those of you, strangers and friends alike, that offered your calming words via calls e-mails, posts, and tweets of encouragement, a thousand thank-yous.
The Grove is the perfect place to display your Pink and Proper Lilly purchases! Thanks, P&P!
Ready or not September 3, 2011 came around and it was time for the rubber to meet the road. From the first game of the season to the last, strangers–now friends– took me under their wings. Generous fans invited me to lavish tailgates, allowed me to stay in their homes and graciously promoted my book to their friends. People I didn’t even know were inviting me to special events and treating me like kin. Southern hospitality at it’s finest.
My new friend, Kelly, took me on the field in Neyland Stadium... wow!
Thanks, Vandy Belles, for all of your support and enthusiasm!
Even those fervent SEC fans, that maybe didn’t love everything I wrote about their team, taught me something. They thickened my skin. Taught me to be more open-minded. Encouraged me to look at all sides. They reminded me that Belles are courageous and tough.
The most supportive parents in the world. Also the most excited to be at the historical BAMA v LSU game.
Without tearing up the way I do while watching Steel Magnolias, I’ll keep it short and sweet. It was because of YOU that my 2011 Gridiron Belles tour was a success. It is because of YOU that I was able to fulfill my dreams of being an author. My career for the past 4 months has been tailgating. And because of YOU, Gridiron Belles worked.
These UGA Belles told me that the sky was the limit-- thank you!
Thank you, from the bottom of my Southern Belle heart, for being such hospitable, generous and devoted fans of your team. It is the spirit and excitement that y’all displayed that kept me going on the road for 93 days straight without a break from the South’s greatest pastime. It is people like YOU that make Southern football the living legend that it is.
The savvy mama, Doran, thanks for having me on your wonderful show!
Thank you all. For everything.

Sweet Home Alabama
Jan 9, 2012 CATEGORIES: Alabama, Alabama SEC Football, BCS Championship Game, Gridiron Belles: A Guide to Saturdays in Dixie, LSU v ALABAMA football, SEC Football, Southern Football, Uncategorized
The Tide Sisters
SEC fans are the most loyal and energetic in the nation. I’m convinced, however, that Alabama fans are what most people mean when they use the term “Fanatical.” It’s expected of BAMA fans to be fanatical—it’s part of the oath they take as new borns: Wear Crimson, despise Auburn, name a child (or at least a dog, boat, or RV ) “Bear” and above all, be the most fanatical football fan you can imagine day in and day out. This is one vow that is unforgivable to break. And I love it.
Mr. C and Ms. Tide, two of the greatest BAMA fans I know!
On a level understood only in the SEC—perhaps only in Alabama– eating, breathing and decorating your home in the only logical theme of Crimson Tide, team dedication has reached a new level in Tuscaloosa.
Look closely and count how many places you find houndstooth!
My trip across the South has introduced me to more than my fair share of Tide fans. I stayed with one of the sweetest Bama Belles at her Bay house outside of Mobile and was welcomed into her home with open arms… just as soon as I changed out of navy and orange… in the driveway.
All fans who enter, MUST match the decor!
The Bama fan of the season, however, required a family. The “Tide Family” (I’ve kept their name to myself as to not have them inundated with calls and e-mails asking for ideas of how to be a better BAMA fan once this is released) has set a new bar for BAMA fans . They are as kind as they are loyal. They are as generous as they are dedicated.
Yes, a larger than life replica of The Bear's hat serving as window treatments in the bathroom!
Decorated by the eldest daughter of the “Tide Family,” this second home, located a first down away from the entrance to Bryant-Denny Stadium, epitomizes the phrase “Sweet Home Alabama.”
Lucky monogram she has, isn't it?! This is the beautiful creative brain behind the "wow."
I’d likely get some of the details mixed up if I tried to tell you how long the “Tide Family” has been a part of the BAMA community. I’d tell you that there are 12 grandchildren who went to, or are currently enrolled at, the University of Alabama when really there are something like 26. And I’d tell you that it was MR. Tide that spearheads the “fanaticism” and game day excursions on their party buses and boats when really it’s MRS. Tide. So I’m going to keep the details to myself and just let pictures speak 13 words. Because, 13, is exactly how many national championships this Tide Family has been around to celebrate the Crimson spirit.
These curtains speak from themself
No detail, large or small, went un-dedicated to Alabama. I was in awe. I was impressed beyond words and knew immediately that there may be a lot of families that are Tide fans, but there is only ONE “Tide Family.”
Meet the lovely Tide Family
Thanks for the hospitality Mr. and Mrs. Tide! And good luck getting your 14th national championship tonight!
Xs and Os,
Christie Leigh
