Ahoy mateys! Happy International Talk like a pirate day, Dubbers!
Saturday brings us our first 3:30 kick off of the season, and the sacrificial lamb is the our guests from Oxford, Ohio. They're known for being a hockey school now, apparently, but we'll always know Miami as the Cradle of Coaches.
Aside from the GOAT, Wayne Woodrow Hayes, Miami has been the launching ground for Mr. Glenn Edward Schembechler (better known as Bo, loser of bowl games), as well as Ara Parseghian (discovered Rudy), Weeb Ewbank (rode Broadway Joe to fame and glory), Sid Gillman (Father of the Modern Passing Game), and the guy who founded not one, but two NFL franchises in Ohio - Paul Brown.
So, what do Miami, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and the Cradle of Coaches have to do with Tailgate Fare, you ask? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I just knew that September 19th is the day to annoy your coworkers by talking like a pirate. ARGH!
Without further ado, I bring you a treat we unearthed in a cookbook, of all places.
