Big 2 and Little 8

If you remember that, then you remember college football at a great time. Woody and Bo made November something to look forward to.

Maybe you share my affinity for these two teams.

Michigan Wolverines     Florida State Seminoles

Maybe you’re wrong and want some other team.

Tim Taylor Need Not Apply

Toxic masculinity is scheduled for full display each Saturday.  I’ve been to and seen enough college football games to know such behavior is not at all restricted to boyz. True fandom knows only freaky fanatics all-in for their team.

Yes, college football is here. Gear up and grub up and pick up that beer.

For those of us who will be participating by making sure gravity works on our favorite chairs, food is necessary.  And, not just any food.

Tail gate food.  Just, you know, without the tail gate.  If you’ve a nice rig and tailgate, by all means partake. No one is excluded for football.  Except Ohio State Buckeyes.  They can’t come.

Time to cook

Here are some links to pages I’ve written with some great game day dips or snacks. Steaks and meat for the grill is on you, but I do have an idea. This marinade is great. I have a jar in the ‘fridge. It’s got a bit of a bite to warn the wimps (that’s me) but the flavor is tops.

Of course, the beer, at this point, is up to you.  But, if you are planning well, there’s time to get a subscription for the Rose Bowl.  Or the chip dip bowl.

Here is my list of recipes. They are sure to score big.

Onion Chip Dip, Ranch Veggie Dip, Eggplant Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Aunt Bicia’s Eggplant Dip

Wheat Crackers

Pretzels

Three Condiments: Pickled Eggplant, Chili Garlic Sauce, Walnut Pesto

They’re Good!

Gear for beer and your rear (affiliate links follow)

Tailgating come be a big deal. At minimum food and a grill and some beers.

At maximum is a 40 foot rolling palace. That might be too much. Chairs are not too much. Coolers also not too much.  Speakers to hear the game and phone chargers because who knows what’ll happen. Speaking of not knowing what’ll happen, rain can happen. Foul weather gear matters.

Have fun and Rah! Rah!, Go Blue!, er, team- go team.
