3.Mix up the music
Leave the Jimmy Buffet CDs at home, people. Set up an iPod playlist and mash up party faves like AC/DC and Beastie Boys, but don’t forget to show hometown pride with some Kid Rock and Eminem. And though we wouldn’t fault anyone for playing some “We Are the Champions” and the Rocky theme song, think outside the box: Remember how that Glee
with a beak anyway. Tere’s “Swoop,” the mascot.
5. Good enough grub
Something needs to soak up the libations. Traditional finger foods work just fine, especially ready-made ones that just need a simple warm up. But impress the gang with something a litle different. Bring soup or chili. For an easy dip, mix taco seasoning with a tub of sour cream and top with shredded cheese, or try EMU catering chef Steve Klukach’s Buffalo Chicken Dip (see sidebar for recipe). Whatever you decide on, keep the food
simple, no-hassle and delicious enough. Tis isn’t a cooking contest, Emeril.
6. Common sense
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to party; it just takes some sense. Te weather’s going to fluctuate, so dress in layers and lose some of them as it warms up. Freeze your water the night before to keep it cold. Park by the poty for easy access. Bring a tent... and, most importantly, a designated driver. And aſter all the eating, drinking and public dancing, don’t forget why you’re there in the first place—the game. 3

guy did a “Single Ladies” booty- shake on the football field and you got a kick out of it? Next time you tailgate, play it. And do the dance for your friends.
4. Go green
And not just with your clothes. Polish your nails, dye your hair, paint a giant green “E” on your cheek/chest/hand/ forehead. Wear your EMU shirts and sweats. Or if you really wanna be original, dress as an eagle. Get yourself a beak, or make one out of construction paper and rubber bands, and throw on some wings. Why not? You won’t be the only person there
Cut the chicken into small pieces and toss with hot sauce. Bake in the oven on a sprayed or oiled sheet pan for 15-20 min at 350. While chicken is cooking, blend cream cheese, mayo, blue cheese and 8 oz. of parmesan cheese in large mixing bowl. When chicken is done, let it cool for 15-20 minutes then blend into the cheese mixture. Spread dip into a sprayed or oiled cooking dish and top with the remaining parmesan cheese. Cook for 20-25 min at 350; when top is golden brown the dip will be ready to serve. Serve with toasted bread
