Who doesn't love the Ugg game? It's great entertainment for walking through campus or while you're in class.

The Ugg game is great to play with or against your friends. You can either make a team with your friends and combine your scores, or add up your own points and compare scores at the end of the day. This game is great for the competitive person and for those who are looking to have fun.

The Ugg game is not only great for walking on campus, but it's also good for when you go home. I often find myself bored while shopping with my mom, and I start calling out points while she asks my opinion about a shirt.

I have even considered getting a pair of Uggs so I can have a few extra points compared to my friends. The Ugg game can be used for boring car rides to visit family for the holidays.

Also, you can always look for the best new combination of Uggs with other articles of clothing. It adds a twist to the game and provides a different type of competition for participants to see who can find the most outrageous Ugg combination. This game is adaptable and can be played many different ways.

Some might consider the Ugg game demeaning for those wearing the Uggs. The truth is that this game could be played with cowboy boots, belt buckles and cowboy hats, or even skinny jeans, black shaggy hair and eyeliner.

This game is not designed to make fun of the people wearing the clothes because anyone can wear the boots. For example, the Fourum once asked, "How many points do I get for a guy in Uggs?"

The Ugg game has evolved from just Uggs, a North Face jacket, sorority symbols and miniskirts to much more. Now, there are scoring combinations, like camouflage sweats and Uggs and a person wearing nothing but Uggs. The combinations are endless, and each day there are possibilities of seeing even odder combinations.

The game could be misconstrued as being targeted toward certain stereotypes of sorority women, but not only sorority members wear Uggs. There are many people who wear Uggs because they are warm and it is cold outside. Though seeing a person in Uggs and a sorority symbol earns more points, it is because there is a good chance that someone wearing the Uggs might also have the symbol - but not always.

The same could be said with the North Face jacket. Not only sorority girls wear this jacket; many other people outside of sororities wear the brand since it is cold outside and North Face jackets are warm. The game has more do to with the season that brings about the wearing of Uggs rather than the actual people in them.

What will we be looking for in the spring, I wonder?
