{Football Week} - Football Tailgate Food Ideas

What's a Saturday without football, tailgates, and of course, all the food! Sometimes I wonder is it really the football or all the yummy food that brings everyone together, covered head to toe in their favorite team colors to celebrate another big game. From the wings to the dips, chips and all the great desserts, great food is certainly a big part of game day Saturday.
