I’m still trying to process Linda’s comment that there are no football fans in her house. That’s like speaking in an alien tongue around here.

Oh dear, if only I had been there to simplify the game of football for Jackup. Right off the bat, you find out what color your team is wearing…and your team is decided by how long its been since they have won. Then you see which way they are “trying” to run so that whenever that bunch of fellas get close to that end you can cheer…well, most of the time. When in doubt, just check on what that team’s fans are doing…I mean if they are screaming and excited then you know to scream and be excited, too. It’s simple.

Except for the time my aunt didn’t tell me she had gotten us tickets seating us on the side opposing her son’s team. I knew their colors and I had to “kindly” tell the man next to me he was rooting for the wrong team. I just wanted to be a blessing. And then he told me he kinda thought I was sitting on the wrong side. Who knew! When I was a majorette, I worried about my baton…not the cotton-pickin ballgame.

Anybody wanna talk Braves’ baseball?

OK, so being from and living on “the northshore” albeit across the lake from New Orleans, you can guess what was going on in our household! We had spent the previous week-end in “the city” enjoying Super Bowl and Mardi Gras mania and yes loved every minute of it.

Tori, we ate at our favorite places like “Mothers” and “Acme Oyster House” and tried “K-Paul’s” and “NOLA’s”. AND No we did not have to pay these bills as my husband was entertaining clients (thank you, Lord). Everyone must do New Orleans during Mardi Gras, just don’t get no better that dat!!!!

Back to your question about Super Sunday…yes we did have family over for the game. Hubby did smoked oysters on the grill and I made crawfish etouffee (no smart remarks LindaB) with fresh french bread and a Greek salad.

Now sell the house, we need a Bell Buckle fix!!!!!

Well, your own resident ‘european soccer hooligan’ had a fantastic time roaring on her team (who up until last week were having an awful season) to victory over the current champions of Europe!! I know absolutely nothing about what you call football, and still can’t really see why you call it that at all!

The only party I went to was a roller-disco for a 7 year old so can’t really be compared to yours!

I am so going to come and eat at your house one day!!!

Well, since the Falcons lost previously, I wasn’t in the mood for football. I did watch Downton Abbey. The Dowager showed once again that she is a kindred spirit: ‘It seems a pity to miss such a good pudding’. You might want to follow @theLadyGrantham on Twitter. Your party food sounded delicious and the company an exciting challenge. It’s so nice when you can put on airs of knowledge (Lady Grantham: “Lie” is so unmusical a word) when amongst Europeans. I went to Long Horn with a friend and had a ‘Flo’s Filet’…. Yummy! I’m glad you quit showing your house long enough for your Super Bowl party! Nothing is better than Good Food, Good Friends and Good Conversation!!!!

There are no football fans in our house, only Red Wing fans. But I turned it on just to see the commercials and Beyounce sing. At the same time several of our family were watching for news of how Uncle Harry was doing—–we had a “group” on FB private message thingy and his daughter kept us informed about him all day. Anyway, I was Facebooking with one eye on the football game. I don’t know much about football, but after the lights went out when Baltimore was way ahead, and their coach had a temper tantrum over it, I heard people say he was angry because the delay could end his team’s “roll”. So I had to watch then to see if that was really possible. IT WAS! San Francisco came back like gang busters and I thought they could possibly win this thing! But they didn’t quite make it. But it was a white knuckle ending and I enjoyed watching it, to my surprise! I didn’t have any favorite to win, but I felt sorry for the 49er’s when they were so far behind. How humiliating is that? Those guys are some mother’s sons, after all.
