5. Popcorn Station A popcorn station with custom seasonings and add-ins can offer a fun, interactive snack option. Provide plain popcorn with shakers of different seasonings — think cheesy, spicy, and sweet options — alongside mix-ins like M&Ms, pretzel pieces, and nuts. It’s a simple but effective way to cater to all taste buds. 6. Homemade Dips and Chips Dips are the unsung heroes of the snack table. Whip up a batch of guacamole, salsa, and a creamy spinach dip for a trifecta of flavors. Serve with an assortment of chips and watch them disappear faster than you can say, “Nothing but net!” 7. Mini Tacos Mini tacos are a fun and easy-to-eat option that can be filled with a variety of ingredients to please both meat lovers and vegetarians. Think mini fish tacos, shredded chicken, or roasted vegetable tacos topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime juice. 8. Sweet Treats No game day is complete without something sweet to round off the feast. Bite-sized brownies, cookies, or a selection of candies in team colors can add a festive touch to your snack lineup. Remember, the key to a successful game day snack spread is variety and abundance. With these ideas, you’re sure to score big with your guests, turning any game viewing into a delicious occasion. Let the games begin! 6. Social Media Sentiment In today’s digital age, social media can be a goldmine of insights. Teams with a positive buzz or viral locker room celebrations might be carrying momentum that translates into success on the court. This tactic is especially useful for capturing the emotional and psychological state of the teams. 7. The Randomizer When all else fails, randomness can be your ally. Using a random number generator or simply flipping a coin for each game adds an element of chaos to your bracket. It’s as unpredictable as the tournament itself and removes the pressure of making the “right” choice. Join Our Bracket Challenge!

CHUNKY GUACAMOLE
The key to great guac is choosing perfectly ripe avocados. If they are not ripe enough they will be hard and lack flavor; if they are too ripe, they will have dark spots and will taste smokey. Ripe avocados have a darker color and when gently squeezed will yield slightly to pressure but not feel mushy. Picking the perfect avocado is almost an art form. Planning is essential — the avocados will continue to ripen once you get them home, so choose a ripeness that will be ready on the day you want to make your guacamole. Underripe avocados will usually ripen at room temperature in 2–3 days. If you have a ripe avocado but aren’t ready to use it, refrigeration can give you an extra day or two.
INGREDIENTS
• 3 medium avocados, ripe • 2 tbsp minced onion • 1 small jalapeno or serrano (more spicy) chile, minced (1–1 1/2 tsp)* • 1/4–1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves • 1/4 tsp table salt • 1/2 tsp cumin (optional) • 2 tbsp (or more!) lime juice * Use caution when handling; wash hands or use gloves and do not touch your eyes; for milder flavor, do not use seeds and ribs.
DIRECTIONS
1. Halve avocados and remove the pits. Use a paring knife to dice the flesh without cutting through the skin. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash avocado lightly with onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and cumin (if using) with a fork until just combined. 2. Sprinkle lime juice over diced avocado and mix the entire contents of the bowl lightly with a fork until combined but still chunky. Adjust salt, to taste, and serve. 3. Although it is best the day it is made, guacamole can be covered with plastic wrap, pressed directly onto the surface of the mixture, and refrigerated for up to two days. Return guac to room temperature, removing plastic wrap at the last moment, before serving.
