For several years now we have invited family and friends to see the Super Bowl at Old Ranch Country Club.... Everyone seems to have a great time and we get to visit with everyone pre/post game! The ladies get to play LCR in the back room and the guys get to eat! Life is good.
Quotation To Remember: I believe that a bad Super Bowl halftime show is still better than a soccer game.
First stop? The bar... The hub of activity
Del and Vicky arrived at 8:30 this morning... Wanted to have a good seat!
Our table was easy to find in the dining room

Did You Know? - Large amounts of food are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest day of food consumption in the United States after Thanksgiving.
Rather than a sit-down dinner, on Super Bowl Sunday food is usually served buffet style. Foods that are traditionally eaten on Super Bowl Sunday include buffalo wings, pizza, chili, potato chips, and dipping sauces.
Many pizza delivery businesses see their order numbers double as roughly sixty percent of the take out ordered on Super Bowl Sunday is pizza. Roughly 28,000,000 pounds (13,000,000 kg) of chips, 1.25 billion chicken wings, and 8,000,000 pounds (3,600,000 kg) of guacamole are consumed during the Super Bowl.
