I love college football. It’s not a secret. I love to watch pro football too, but there’s nothing like the energy of college football, especially in the SEC!

Alli says
I love all sports! Because I’m originally from GA, I have to cheer for my Georgia Bulldogs! My pro teams are Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons. Love all the tailgating foods you shared! Yummy!
Paula says
Thanks so much Alli! We went to GA when Ole Miss played them one year. We try to go to at least one big away game each year. It was really fun, I enjoyed the town and the campus. You guys enjoy tailgating too! 🙂
Jenna says
Great collection! Lots of tried and true favs here, I want to try the Hissy Fit dip this year, I have heard of that so thanks for the recipe! My daughter went to Ole Miss and we had lots of fun Saturdays in the Grove! We are big Bama fans and although we don’t tailgate, we have major parties in front of the big screen for every football game! Thanks for sharing your collection~
Paula says
My husband doesn’t hunt or do sports, tailgating is he extracurricular! lol, I have to start thinking about food early. You know there’s always something everybody expects you to bring, then I want to bring new stuff too. It’s fun, I like everything about tailgating.
Amber @ Dessert Now, Dinner Later! says
Nice collection. There’s a lot of ideas here! Thanks for sharing at Sweet & Savory Saturdays #25!

SUCH a great collection of recipes, Paula! 🙂
Krista @ joyfulhealthyeats says
Sometimes I wish I went to a big ten school so I could have gotten into college football more. Its not that I don’t like it, we actually watch pro football more. In fact, I’m in a ladies fantasy team. But, I will agree with you College is definitely more passionate. Love all the dips! 🙂 Great post.
Julie @ This Gal Cooks says
These are perfect for football season! Can’t wait until that starts. Not that I watch a lot of it but it’s always fun to have a few beers and watch some of a game!
Lyuba@willcookforsmiles says

What a great round-up! I learned to appreciate college football after I married my husband. As a UT alumni, he bleeds orange through and through. He prefers it over pro football as well. Once the football season begins, I’m going to have to start dishing out some delicious finger foods and this is a great place to start 😉
Paula says
oh, we have two friends that are the same way about UT – Brock Lodge, I wouldn’t be surprised if you husband knows he and his wife. I think they know everyone! Literally, our Fall consists are of football and that’s about it. Have you started classes yet?
Lisa@ Cooking with Curls says
I don’t watch football, don’t know a thing about it. Now I am feeling very left out, like I am missing out on the greatest thing since sliced bread! Maybe I should start 😉
Paula says
You are missing out on the greatest thing since sliced bread, Lisa!!! Did you look at the post at the bottom ‘This is how we Tailgate’? You’ll see why I love it so much when you do! 🙂 I do like the football, it’s such a complex sport, but I LOVE the tailgating part – food, cocktails, friends – nothing better 🙂
Katrina Vega says
This is great! My husband and I looooove pro football! We are super excited that pre season just started yesterday! We usually don’t tailgate or have friends over, but I’m sure I can still use these just for us. My favorite pro team is the Steelers, but since I live in San Diego I have to support the Chargers. Thanks! Pinning 🙂
