It’s that time again. Football is in full swing, and it’s my 14th season being married to a man whose career is college sports. While football lingo is still not part of my vernacular even after all these years, and I cannot decipher what is happening during most of any given football game as I’m too busy people-watching, my ability to serve up crowd-pleasing football game fare is top-tier, and my resume speaks for itself in that regard.
