Best Gameday Foods

If any of you are like me, I absolutely love planning and cooking food on gamedays to go with my usual bourbon drinks (we call them "football drinks" in my house.) I'm sure there are other threads about this topic already, but it's way more fun to start a new list.
A typical gameday at my house includes me and about 20 of my closest friends (from all SEC fanbases) so I'm used to cooking for crowds and usually have a good variety of things. I usually try to emulate the "tailgate" feel with finger foods, cornhole, coolers, and outdoor seating & TVs. Needless to say, I stock up on charcoal when on sale because I literally burn through it.
Questions:
If you had one weekend to make an absolute feast of different gameday foods, what would it include?
Alternatively, if you had to pick just ONE food to share each weekend, what would that be?
Bonus points for recipes and/or pictures!

I'll start with some more "unique" suggestions that are pretty easy to make:
Spicy Italian Crescent Ring (Pillsbury Recipe:)
Panini Bar: Put that old George Foreman to work, or any other panini press. These are all super easy and can be made ahead of time or let the guests make them:

1 - 12oz Frozen Lemonade Concentrate
1 - 12oz Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
2 cups Unsweetened black tea
3 cups Bourbon (more if you are manly)
7 cups Water
1 cup Sugar
mix all until sugar dissolves
Freeze overnight.
Bacon crackers
Club crackers
Little brown sugar
Wrap 1/2 stri.p bacon
Bake in oven

That sounds awesome. Over the summer I've concocted the following Bourbon drink:
1 shot of preferred Bourbon - Shot size is up to you
1.5 shots of Ginger Ale
1 shot orange juice
.5 shot of Grapefruit juice
