Sometimes Football Wishes really do come true!

To get us all in the tailgating mood, the kind folks at Smathers and Branson have graciously offered to give one of their adorable needlepoint flasks to a lucky HerKentucky reader!

One winner will be awarded a Needlepoint Flask from the Smathers and Branson collection. You can choose the Maker's Mark design, straight from our Tailgating Wishlist...

... or maybe the Mint Julep design, to get yourself in a Derby frame of mind.

Every Smathers and Branson design is so cute, it'll be hard to choose!

You can enter using the Rafflecopter widget below. The contest ends Thursday, August 30, and the winner will be announced on Friday August 31. The winner can choose from any in-stock, non-monogrammed flask in the Smathers and Branson collection.

Two weeks 'till football, y'all. I don't know about you, but I've had enough pool time and miserable heat. I'm ready for cooler temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes, and SEC football. Just think -- we have two more teams to follow this year! As we head down the home stretch, I've put together a little tailgating wishlist. Most any Wildcat fan will find something they need here.

I can't wait to try Southern Living's brand-new Official SEC Tailgating Cookbook. Great food and great football tradition -- this promises to be a perennial fall favorite.

Of course, I would never slip bourbon into the stadium. But, this Smathers and Branson needlepoint flask is a rather stylish way to do so, if one were so inclined.

LOVE the Wildcat Plaid. This scarf is a stylish, understated way to rep the 'Cats at work or a tailgate.

You can't tailgate without cornhole.

These National Champs Tervis Tumblers are a must. They keep your drink magically cold, and they commemorate the best day of 2012.

This gorgeous Maxi dress from Modcloth is stylish and looks so comfortable. And, of course, is just the right shade of blue.

Two weeks. Go 'Cats!
