I am and have always been an Auburn football junkie – I grew up going to the games, my mom and grandfather graduated from Auburn, I then attended and got both my undergraduate and graduate degree there. I just loved it – and football season is really makes it fun.

I’ve been drawing Auburn’s football schedules in my bullet journal ever since I started out. It’s fun to keep it in your book, and to look back on, and these spreads are really fun to create.

You can see the past 3 years of my Auburn spreads below.

You can also watch the video that shows all the steps when I made a schedule for the Carolina Panthers live on Instagram.

Step by Step

What you’ll need:
Pencil, pen, ruler (optional), and a gridded or dotted notebook or sheet of paper.

Tips:

• This type of schedule is better for seasons about 18 games or shorter – if there’s more, it’s probably easier just to make a list.
• Get creative – make a space for the dates of the games, mark conference games, or create other shapes around each game.
• Use a color-code to show who won & lost the games – you may want to leave a spot for the scores of each game.
• Decorate with drawings, fight songs, logos, and more. I’ll have another video on how I drew the states and logos on my latest Auburn spread.

1 – Find your custom row height

• Go to bit.ly/lbw-football

2 – Edit with your own numbers

• Make sure you’re signed to Google, then File >> Make a Copy (for your own editing).
• Enter the number of games for your team. And count how many squares TALL your notebook is. Add these to the yellow numbers and get your custom row height.

3 – Grab a Pencil

• Start from the top and use a pencil to mark the following:
  • Use the # of extra rows you have (in my example 1), and this is blank row – skip this row and start from row 2.
  • Find the rounded height of your rows (in my example 3). We’ll count by 3’s.On the edge of your page, make a light “1” over rows 2-4, a “2” over 5-7, “3” over 8-10, etc. (this will help with spacing your schedule).

4 – Home & Away

• Look at your team’s schedule and find the Home and Away Games. Determine which page you want home games and which page you want away games.
• Down the spine of the book, go through each game, and mark your home games on one page and your away games on the other page.
• I use a light pencil line to show the ‘span’ of home and away games on each page.

5 – Zig-Zag It!

• Starting at your first game (still in pencil), make a zig-zag line from your first game through each game to your last game.

6 – Get Creative.

• You now have a ‘map’ and idea of where you have room to draw your games – so now’s the time to get creative and draw it out.
• I lettered the name of each opponent, then outlined them with a box with my ruler.

Supplies I Used…

After creating the Auburn spread, I drew the NFL schedule for the Panthers on Instagram live so I could show you exactly how I mapped it out – you can watch the whole process in the video below.

After I went live on Instagram, I got a few of your versions and I LOVE them – thanks Robin, Shireen, Debbie & Melissa! You can see their versions below.
