FOOTBALL FRENZY

i know this topic has been on here before but- we are a few weeks in to football season- would love to know your favorites..
favorite college team?
favorite pro team?
favorite football snack?
and last but not least- favorite football beverage?

just wondering if anyone else out there is as much of a football fan as the people living in my house with me (myself included)

oh-- my answers:
Notre Dame
Steelers/Giants
Nachos and BEER OR hooters wings and BEER

enjoy the season!:)

PENN STATE

Dolphins; but now that I live in DC I also root for the Redskins. Not because I particularly care about the Redskins, but if you've ever been to DC on a Monday after the 'skin lose, you know why I root for them. Everyone is depressed and pissed off. So, angry drving and a mood of general unpleasantry exists. But when they win, everyone is in a great mood and people are generally courteous. So, I always hope for a Redskin win so that Mondays can be a happy day and people will actually hold the elevator for you!

(Buffalo) WINGS -where I grew up, we just call 'em wings. the Buffalo is implied.

Miller Lite (I don't know why, but I think because you can drink the beer and not get lit -plus it's low carb)

new mexico LOBOS
pro teams: seahawks, cowboys,steelers, denver
hot dogs
dr pepper
(this is the hubster's answers)

College: (3 way tie) Notre Dame, Ohio State, Youngstown State.

Pro: Cleveland. I don't think thry'll win a game this year.

Football food: Hot Italian Brats, or beans and cheeze.

Drink of choice: Lite Beer from Miller.

If God's not a Penn State fan, then why is the sky Blue and White?

Hello All,
college-Alabama (yeah, like that is gonna happen)
pro-Oakland (another winner)
Snack- except for when in high school, and my friends and I were drunk, I've never been to a football game
in person. Watching at home on T.V., Jalepeno Potato Chips.
Beverage- hahaha, what do you think? Beer.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Football loves
(college) University of Oregon(get over it, Sooner losers!)
(pro) Seattle Seahawks
(snack) Nachos
(drink) Arrowhead Water (I'm boring)

I could never warm up to a girl that knew as much about sports or more than I do. I don't have any favorites. It's all about the point spread. Chow Jim

Penn State Nittany Lions
New England Patriots
Homemade Ground Turkey Tacos
Miller Lite

Nebraska Cornhuskers (we have the cornhead hat....WOAH!)
PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!!
I don't snack so cottage cheese is good for me.
A glass of chardonnay. Or when we're in Alaska the game starts at 9 AM, so Bloody Marys are in order.

Jim, do you want all of us females to be just dumb? Not know what a first down is? Holding, face mask, clipping? What quarter it is.......who's the running back or the quarterback and what about the
Gadget Play? Ha! You'd be surprised but some of us chicks are pretty savvy on sports.

I think it's funny that a Steelers fan mentions the gadget play!
you love your Bill Cowher!

Simple, the sky is blue and white because those are the colors for THE University of North Carolina...which has been around a bit longer than Penn State.

As far as snacks...a Paula Dean recipe which modified the old piggies in a blanket...hogs in a sleeping bag. Kielbasa chunks wrapped a whole cresent roll.

OK - first off, that hogs in a sleeping bag is the prototypical reason why I love Paula Deen. How awesome is that! Kielbasa in a cresent roll - that is rockin! How much do you think it would cost me to have her be my personal caterer for a saturday game? LOL

Second...I didn't know UNC still HAD a football team!

This reply posted on behalf of the hubby (since I don't follow football and can't stand beer - I know, sacrilege)....

USC
Chargers
Lil' Smokies wrapped in bacon, simmered in brown sugar
Stone Ruination

Fav. College Team - AUBURN - War Eagles (Is there any other team, if so, I'm not knowing!)

Fav. Pro Team - Sorry, don't have one, can only bleed orange and blue

Fav. Snack - Chicken Wings for Beauregards

Fav. Bev. - Any cold drink w/vodka or rum in it

Pro - Tampa Bay Bucs (have been the distance from 0-14 to the Super Bowl
victory to the horrid start this season, and with Carolina in town on Sunday,
things are going from bad to worse!)

College - somewhat partial to Florida State, but thankfully, went to a school
that doesn't have a team!

(now that I've brought home catfish with the works for lunch...)

Snack - Pizza/subs

Beverage - Coke or Pepsi

this is exactly why I love the Fall...and the cooler weather and colorful trees.

we save the weekends for going out to see the trees change colors
on the way back from the grocery store before the games start.

Pro team- The NE Patriots, we're going to Sunday night's game!!

College team- We have some family ties to the Ivies- Harvard and Princeton, Penn State ties as well.
I don't know, I never paid much attention (my college was D2) but this year after a few recruiting visits to D1 schools, WOW! football is a really big part of their college experience- there are some AMAZING football stadiums out there!!

Now the food! When the Patriots play, is my time to cook!! a small sampling :

Wings- teryaki, buffalo
Chili with all the fixings
Taco Salad
and Sam Adams Beer!

KB

College team Me - Alabama Crimson Tide but only because I went there. Dh Georgia Bulldawgs
Pro team I don't watch pro football. Dh does sometimes, I have no clue who he likes, I tune it out I was asked to rectify this fast lol That would be Da Bears and I'm also told it has to be spelt that way to be correct
Favorite football snack? Usually salsa and blue corn tortilla chips
and last but not least- favorite football beverage? I drink mudslides no matter the reason, dh drinks beer.

I'm not much of a football fan unless I get to go in person. Tv bores me easily.

Football died for me the day John Elway retired.

Scorereader, if you get up to the Beav for a game this Fall, drop in at our tailgate www.ultimatepsutailgate.com and introduce yourself.

I'm the big guy at the end of the row next to the light standard. Here's the location:http://www.ultimatepsutailgate.com/team.htm .

College--none as I went to a D3 school, although I certainly get enough Virginia/Virginia Tech stuff living where I do. Re: VT--why would one name its football team after a castrated turkey?

Pro--New York J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS but grew up rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles and also follow the Steelers

Snack--pigs in blankets (have to try the "hogs in a sleeping bag"!)

Drink--Stella Artois beer

You need to look at their opponent on October 1

Hello All,
MandalayVa, alright, you peaked my interest with Stella Artois Beer...how does it taste
and where can I get it?
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

I don't follow college ball anymore, but I used to root for USC.

My pro team is the Carolina Panthers, all the way. I dearly love me some Jake Delhomme! When they're playing, hubs and me can be found in front of the TV munching on everything from wings to nachos, and loving every minute of it. Hubs deep fries the wings, and we usually dip them in a combo of melted butter and Frank's Hot Sauce. But he bought some Budweiser hot sauce last week, and I think I may have found a new favorite. That stuff is so good I could almost drink it right from the bottle.

Notre Dame
Da Bears
Smoked Polish with grilled onions mustard & Sport peppers and/or Chili
Ice Cold Miller HighLife (the Champagne of Bottled Beer)
