Michigan’s Most Popular Big Game Snack Cannot Be Accurate

Have you ever been to a Big Game party and craved a football cookie? I did not think so. I have never thought about a football cookie, and I have never heard anyone specifically ask for one. That is why I am confused as to why 'football cookies' are being named as Michigan's favorite Big Game snack?

According to CBS Sports both Michigan and Iowa prefer football cookies. Keep in mind this so called ranking does not list a specific type of cookie like chocolate chip, or peanut butter - just football cookie. What the hell flavor is a football cookie? Pigskin?

When I think Big Game snacks I think pizza, chicken wings, tacos, and alcohol. Not football cookies. WTF? I like cookies, but it is not a go to snack for me during any football game, let alone the biggest game of the season. Bring on the meatballs and nachos, leave the cookies for a baby shower.

In all fairness to CBS Sports, this particular ranking was put together from Google searches from all 50 states of the most searched snacks. Ugh - so clearly people are Googling football cookies, are you one of people? If so, please send my a picture of your so called 'football cookie' tray on Sunday. I am guessing the only people that will want one will be 5-years-old or younger, and by the way no one likes kids at a party anyway.
