football season

The University of Wyoming website has a countdown clock, ticking off the seconds until kickoff on September 1st. As a Cowboy groupie, everytime I see that getting closer and closer I am thrilled to be so close to footabll season once again. Following a team around the country means I will be in at least 7 different states in the next couple of months and that means a different style of cuisine indigenous to each of those states. What am I looking forward to? The San Diego State game means a trip to Carino's pizza in La Jolla. The Air Force game means champagne on the deck of the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. The Ohio game means I've got something new to find. The Boise game means some of the best vegetarian foods in the country. All of the games in Laramie mean only one thing in a state where they take their beef seriously and the prime rib is beyond belief. The games themselves offer a variety of hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos in various formats and, because they are college games, no beer! Which makes the pleasure of a glass of wine following the games that much more enjoyable. What is your favorite football stadium memory?
