Nebraska Football Gameday Meal 2011

Our menu this year is very similar to last year’s.

I thought about making something different, but in the end this meal just cries, “Nebraska!”

Runzas

French Fries (I actually fried them this year!)

Corn on the Cob

Big Red Cans of Soda

Go Big Red Cake

On the day of the first televised game we don our Nebraska shirts and celebrate not only football, but my husband’s Nebraska roots.   My husband and I also met in Lincoln, Nebraska so I have many fond memories as well.

This year however, I was deceived into thinking that since the Washington/Nebraska game was on ABC we would get it in Texas.  Sadly, we were forced to watch the game online with a very bad connection.  Some how it knew every time we would score a touchdown because the screen would freeze.  We literally caught one touchdown the whole game!  Ah well, such is life!  All is well when Nebraska wins the game!

    We do this, too. My hubby’s a Michigan fan and we always dress up and eat something special on the first game day…I thought we were the only out there family that goes to the trouble!

    BTW, I’m getting nervous about playing you guys already!

    Too bad you didn’t get to see all the game. I know that was a disappointment. The food looks good. Do the kids know the significance of Nebraska? Faith was born there!

    Iowa’s a good place to be born in 🙂
    My brother would love to celebrate with you, I’m sure. He’s a HUGE Nebraska fan!

    @Dr Momi, Ooops I meant Washington up there in my post. I went back and fixed it. That was wishful thinking if ever there was. 🙂 Congrats to your team though!

    My husband was born in Iowa. It is a good place to be born! Random trivia. =)

    I think it’s neat that your whole family gets into the game!

    The kids don’t actually get into the game that much, but they love the hype and have fun anyway.

    Oh wow! That is great. I am a little jealous that your whole family is into it (at any level)! I am, so far, the only football fan in the house. Sigh. I would love it if you’d link this up on my blog carnival Family Time Tuesday!

    I SO need to make homemade Runzas sometime. We have an old family recipe, but I’ve just never made it! Thanks for the reminder and for linking up! 🙂

    Runza’s are perfect for a Husker game! What an adorable family in Husker red you all are! 🙂
