SUPER BOWL GUIDE *

BACON-WRAPPED SMOKIES Ingredients: • 1 lb sliced bacon, cut into thirds • 1 (14 ounces) package of beef cocktail wieners • 3/4 cups of brown sugar, or to taste Directions: • P re h e at t h e ov e n t o 3 2 5 degrees.

• Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap

each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet.

Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.

• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

Ingredients: • 2 cans organic corn drained very well • 1 – 2 small fresh jalapeños • 2 cups vegan shredded mozzarella cheese • 3/4 cups finely ground nutritional yeast 1 cup vegan mayonnaise Directions: • Dice jalapeños.

he countdown is almost over, the day is about to arrive — the big game is here. A champion will be crowned on Sunday. Only one question remains. Will it be Ruff or Fluff?

The 11th annual Puppy Bowl will kick off at 2 p.m. Sunday on Animal Planet and run for six hours, providing a cute alternative for those uninterested in the massive pop culture event that is the Super Bowl.

This year, Team Ruff will take on Team Fluff in what should be a tightly contested matchup. After some time watching the Puppy Cam on Animal Planet’s website it is clear that these pups are taking their training seriously in preparation

for the biggest contest of their young lives.

Of the 57 canine competitors listed as starters, a few stand out for each team.

Team Ruff is led by Boomer, the 18-week-old German shepard. He’ll face tough opposition from Crimson, the 16-week-old Jack Russell terrier mix that heads up team Fluff. All it takes is a glance at their names to see that these two are natural born leaders.

Their supporting casts will ultimately determine the outcome though, and it doesn’t look like this one will be decided by the time Katty Furry takes the stage for the halftime show.

I see Team Ruff squeaking out a win Sunday. Both teams look strong, but I’m afraid Team Fluff just isn’t tough enough.

SUPER BOWL TEASER: SNICKERS

#REALSTRENGTH: DOVEMEN+CARE

FABLE: MERCEDES BENZ

Snickers continues their campaign of “You’re not yourself when you’re hungry,” but this time there is no Johnny Manziel to be seen. Danny Trejo makes an appearance as “Marsha” to The Brady Bunch. It’s just a teaser, Trejo’s anger has us looking forward to the whole thing this Sunday.

This is one of those commercials that really pulls on the heart-strings. It’s a montage of children saying “Dad,” from their first words to a man being called a dad himself. It’s very heartfelt and reminds us just how important your dad really is.

It’s the classic tortoise and hare story beautifully animated for this 60-second ad. The premise is a little different however, while the hare stops to play a poker game with his furry friends, the tortoise discovers a Mercedes factory and commandeers a car to win the race against the hare.

GAME TIME:

The numbers represent the second digit of each team’s score. Before each quarter everybody picks a spot on the board representing what they think the second digit of both teams’ score will be at the end of the quarter. For example, if the score will be 21-14 you would choose the spot that corresponds with one and four. Whoever has it correct wins the round, and the prize should increase after every round.

FOURTHDISCLAIMER: AND THIS ARTICLE BLOG IS FULLY INFLATED ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Brady Vardeman brady.vardeman@ou.edu @BradyVardeman

IT’S HERE. For football fans, the first Sunday in February is like Christmas morning.

Regardless of who’s playing, you’re going to watch the Super Bowl. It’s an American tradition.

Don’t tell ESPN, though.

The Worldwide Leader in Sports is still hung up on Deflate-gate after the NFL confirmed last week the Patriots deflated 11 of 12 balls in the AFC Championship Game.

I’m confused. The league can figure out the pressure of a football two days later but they can’t find a casino elevator video after six months?

Indianapolis, the victim in the scandal, probably would have lost even if the balls were properly inflated.

As Colts tight end Dwayne Allen so elegantly put it, “[The Patriots] could have played with soap for balls and beat us.”

The Patriots aren’t the only Super Bowl participant surrounded with controversial balls. Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch was fined $20,000 for a crotch-grab celebration in the NFC Championship Game, prompting the NFL to warn him that another such incident during the Super Bowl will result in a 15-yard penalty.

Hingle McCringleberry thinks this is bullshit.

I can’t express how much I want Lynch to score the game-winning touchdown as time expires, find NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in the crowd and proceed to “make sure his balls are properly inflated.”

The real attraction on Sunday will, of course, be Katy Perry at halftime. Is it just me, or does the Super Bowl target the exact opposite of the football-watching demographic with their halftime show?

Now, we just need to

“[THE PATRIOTS] COULD HAVE PLAYED WITH SOAP FOR BALLS AND BEAT US.” DWAYNE ALLEN, TIGHT END FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS figure out how to get Juicy J or Riff Raff on stage with her. Or, if neither is available, Cleveland wide receiver Josh Gordon is probably free.

All told, this is one of the most compelling Super Bowls in quite some time.

I can’t wait for Sunday to come around so I have an excuse to eat my weight in fried food and watch a game I care nothing about.

I’m still mad the Cowboys won’t be playing, however.

DEZ BRYANT MADE THAT CATCH. See you next season. – F&B Super Bowl pick: New England 31, Seattle 17
