Duke Blue Devils: Blue Deviled Eggs
Duke basketball doesn’t always win in the popularity contest — and neither does stinky cheese. But these blue cheese deviled eggs prove the haters wrong, just as the Blue Devils did when they won the National Championship in 2015.

Gonzaga Bulldogs: Bulldogs in a Pretzel Blanket
Even if you don’t root for the Zags, bulldogs in a blanket are a must-try. Giving pizza dough the pretzel treatment is game-changing.

Wisconsin Badgers: Bucky Bites
These fried cheese curds are a nod to Bucky Badger, the Mascot Hall of Fame-winning badger. But you don't need to sport a red and white Wisconsin sweater like Bucky to enjoy these beer-battered bites dipped in garlicky mayo.
