From score updates and news about your favorite teams to tips for planning the perfect tailgate, your mobile device is the ideal teammate.

- Twitter has become a crucial way to experience and participate in real-time football conversations. Follow your favorite teams or sports media like ESPN’s Rece Davis to stay in the loop, ask questions and interact with other fans.
- TuneIn is the perfect app to have ready to go on your smartphone or tablet for your tailgate setup. It allows users to discover, follow and listen to over 100,000 radio stations so you can stream one game while you’re still enjoying your pre-game meal before the next. Hook the device up to your Bluetooth speaker and the whole crew can listen while you get hyped up for the action on the field.
- Grill-It is the tailgating and grilling enthusiast’s best friend. Be the VIP of the tailgate with the help of this app, which offers grilling recipes with photos on the go. Save and quickly access your favorite touchdown recipes for future reference.
I’ll be using these apps and more to keep up with my beloved Alabama Crimson Tide this season. What are your must-have football and tailgating apps? Tell us on Twitter at @VZWNews or @VZWKate.
