It’s the time of year when I get real excited here at Mayfield. New items? Producing new commercials? The launch of feature flavors? Well, “yes” to all the above, but the real source of my fervor is…the Super Bowl!

Since 1979, I’ve made attending the World Championship my goal and annual vacation. Following Super Bowl XL last year in Detroit, I’ve been able to say I’ve attended in person half of all Super Bowls ever played. Ranging from SB XIII, where I saw Terry Bradshaw carve up the Dallas defense to last year’s magical run of the Pittsburgh Steelers, these games have provided this sports junkie with a lifetime of memories.

As a graduate of the University of Tennessee, I’m especially jazzed about this year’s matchup because it features former Volunteer Peyton Manning. Manning will always be the “favorite son” of Vol fans because he opted out of entering the NFL draft after his junior season. Keeping my fingers crossed for him.

See you in Miami!
