Harding football players have a tradition of watching the big the game together.\u00a0Sophomore linebacker Dylan Hendricks will be watching the game with fellow teammates at Griffin Seaman\u2019s house, just as they did last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cGriffin has a huge projector at his house, so we will be watching it while sitting in recliners eating some decadent, scrumptious, and . . . tantalizing food,\u201d Hendricks said.<\/p>\n
Sophomore offensive lineman Tyler McCallister is extremely excited about watching the game with his teammates as well. \u00a0He is especially excited about the food.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love some wings without a doubt,\u201d McCallister said.<\/p>\n
Junior Tara Finley has great suggestions for those who are gluten intolerant.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many options for those who can\u2019t have gluten,\u201d Finley said. \u201cSome tasty things I am going to have during the Super Bowl include corn chips with cheese dip, barbecue smokies or some type of gluten free dip with veggies.\u201d<\/p>\n
For all the vegetarians on game day, sophomore Will Crews has ideas to share.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many more foods you can eat than just meat for the Super Bowl,\u201d Crews said. \u00a0\u201cYou can never go wrong with chips and salsa with buffalo dip on the side. \u00a0People can also add avocado dip to the menu and never miss a chicken wing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vegans have options too. \u00a0Junior Kathryn Forrester has some recipes for vegan fare for game day.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome foods I would eat at the Super Bowl would be hummus, with pretzels, or carrots and celery . . . if it\u2019s more dinner and not snacks, I would eat tacos, but instead of meat I would roast sweet potato chunks . . . It sounds really weird, but I love it and I even got my family to try it . . . Other snacks would be apples and peanut butter, or chips and salsa or guacamole!\u201d<\/p>\n
No matter what kind of food you like, game day is always delicious! \u00a0Start preparing now to cheer on the Eagles or the Patriots while enjoying party food that will make the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
