--- Quote ---I find it really weird how college football players are kind of celebrities. They’re scrutinized and have fans and do TV interviews, and it just boggles my mind so much. They’re just students that do an extra-curricular activity! I don’t understand.

THIS.

Actually, we're missing the even bigger picture. High school football players.....

This is very much a regional thing...mostly in the South/Southeast, at least to the level I assume you're talking about (FNL and what have you)

Ugh. High school football is huge around here too- and I'm in NY. There's a big chunk in the newspaper dedicated to high school sports and they are constantly on the local news channels- usually football (especially when my alma mater won the state championship. my god it never ended.*) but Track and Field is pretty big too.
*To be honest, my friends and I were rooting against them because we knew they'd just get even more funding and our crappy little art program would suffer even more. :-(

OMG. Those look delicious. Do you have a recipe for them? I know I can just Google but tried and true is the way to go.
Valdís:
Yeah, we don't do them American-style here either. I have some sort of jam (Raspberry, strawberry, drottningssylt (half blueberries, half raspberries mix) etc. all work great. As does mashed-apples) and roll them up with it inside. Cutting up bite-sized chunks along it. Yummy. I think drottningssylt ("Queen jam") is my favourite.
Metope:
I found this googling 'scandinavian pancakes recipe', but there are several others out there. They're easy to make! Although I have no idea why it's telling you to use lingonberry jam, I've never heard of anyone eating that with pancakes. It's probably just because they're Swedish too, and everything Swedish goes together, right? :roll:
I also find it funny that everything Scandinavian is always called 'Swedish' or 'Danish' something, even when it's not actually Swedish or Danish. Poor Norway, not getting credit for anything.
