The STUPORBOWL was of no interest to my parents or my husband's parents when we grew up--me in NY, him in CA. My husband will probably watch this year, only because the Niners are in it. We used to go to the movies every year during the game, but not in the last few years. I like wings, but am not a fan of anything ranch.  In fact, we don't eat and watch TV at the same time, except maybe popcorn  once in a while. The rest of the typical game day spread is completely beyond me, as are the rules of football, which I will never understand as long as I live. When my husband tries to explain the rules of play my brain just goes somewhere else, even though I THINK I'm listening. Most likely I will sit next to him and read the paper during the game and pay attention to the screen only when the commercials are on. Sick!  My spectator sports of choice are baseball and tennis. For food we will be having cauliflower marinara on pasta. Always good and always easy. But it will not be eaten in front of the TV. He freaks out if I even get one crumb on the sofa, so you can be sure he won't allow red sauce anywhere near the TV! And that's how my tomorrow will unfold. I see the game as leisurely crossword puzzle time. 

My daughter that is hosting a few friends is doing it purely out of love for her fiancé. They joke that he watches the game and she watches the commericials.
