When we first moved into our house 34 years ago, holding a SB gathering was my thing. Mostly h.s. classmates and a couple of tennis buddies and former co-workers. Pot luck, BYOB, lotta in-game betting, I hardly got to watch the games. Then, after about 10 years, I got sick as a dog and had to cancel it. The Packers won the SB that year so when they went back-to-back appearances, I planned a YUGE gathering.
Franking Denver won. What a miserable day!
The next year our son had a soccer game so no gathering. Rained like a MFer during the game and I got soaked like a wharf rat. 🐀
In the interim, one of my buddies (…CBidder HOnizuka…) took the torch and has held the party ever since (…other than the COVID no-gatherings year…).
Quite frankly, I don’t miss hosting it. While my kids enjoyed it ‘cause they got to see their many “uncles”, wifey not so much. And it was a lotta work and tough to watch the game when you’re the host.
