10 Game Day Recipes for March Madness

We all know the story of Love and Basketball. But let's talk about the other story -- the untold story. Let's talk about food and basketball. As devoted college basketball fans, we know that it's only natural to work up an appetite when participating (if only vicariously) in competitve sports. The anxiety, the drama, the agony, the ecstasy -- on an empty stomach, it can all be too much to take. Moreover, if we're not well fed during March Madness, when emotions run highest, hunger might prevent us from being the best fans we can be.

So, instead of gnawing on our fingernails for hours on end, why not chew on something savory; something satisfying; something edible? Afterall, we're going to need our strength -- it's still a long haul to the championship. Here are 10 recipes that can handle the pressure of the Final Four.
