It’s that time of year again, the beginning of February when the entire country is about to be glued to their television’s, surrounded by animalistic fans, friends, and family rooting for their team on Super Bowl Sunday—and the Isla Vista student body is no exception to this chaos. Seeing as football is a favorite American passtime, it doesn’t matter which teams are playing because it’s still an excuse to eat party snacks, hang out, and sip a few beers (for the 21 year olds of course). So grab your friends, gather ‘round the TV, and enjoy some drinking and junk food. Here are some of our easiest and yummiest Super Bowl recipes.
