My friend Lea and I have tried for two years now to have a big blowout football party for the LSU/Ole Miss football game. Last year, it didn't work out because we were out of town the weekend of the game, but this year, we made sure to keep our calendars free! We invited a few friends and neighbors, scoured cookbooks, made drink lists (and grocery lists, and decoration lists, but who's counting??), and threw together a pretty awesome party, if I do say so myself!
A quick snap of the tiger threatening old Colonel Reb pre-game:
Pic of the table, complete with green felt football "field", yard lines with numerical markers, and lots of yummy Southern-inspired food! We had mini-shrimp po-boys (otherwise known as "sliders"), cheeseburger sliders, bacon-Rotel muffins, Louisiana smoked sausage right from the heart of Cajun country, spinach dip, and that was just to start! Red beans and rice was the main part of the meal, and we finished up with ooey-gooey brownies and Southern pecan pie for dessert!
Lea & I, all decked out in our opposing team gear:
Kinda grainy, but here are all the women. Some people chose to support one of the two rival teams (brave, brave, brave people!) and some stayed "neutral" and were very careful to stay away from both red/blue and purple/gold, and still more just wore their own team jerseys:
And, the guys:
And, of course, we were very happy when the outcome turned out in our favor! Although, the game was a nail-biter and much closer than it was "supposed" to be. Lea was excited that her team hung in there the whole game, & Scott & I were excited that LSU managed to squeak by in the end! Geaux, Tigers!!!!
