You appreciate those who don't just serve good food, they serve New England claim chowder, New York style pizza, and Great Papaya style hot dogs in honor of a New York and New England show down. They make hamburgers, cookies and deviled eggs in the shape of footballs, and guacamole dips into football fields. They go the extra mile, and we love them for it.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/real-super-bowl-parties-have-crazy-food/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/michigan-labeled-that-team-up-north-on-osu-football-schedule/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/michigan-labeled-that-team-up-north-on-osu-football-schedule/#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:04:24 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860636 Native Ohioan and recently hired Urban Meyer knows the way to a Buckeye's heart, and that way is treating the University of Michigan the way coaching legend Woody Hayes did.
