Football brings the Drummond family together

Friday night football has been a Drummond family tradition for a long time and the Food Network host shared her love for the game in a Sept. 5 Instagram post.

Drummond posted a pic of her nephew Stu, daughter Alex, and son-in-law Mauricio at a game.

“They have their friends and their jobs and their college classes and their lives … but on Friday nights in the fall, they’re Huskie fans,” Drummond wrote in the caption. “They travel home and show up!! Thank God for football.”

The Food Network host featured one of her football player sons on the cover of ‘Pioneer Woman’ magazine

On Sept. 6, Drummond shared the latest cover of The Pioneer Woman magazine on Instagram.

“Hands down my favorite cover for two important reasons: Todd & the Huskies,” she noted in the caption. “Also, I’m just here to normalize dyeing one’s hair to match school colors. Go Dawgs!!”

An August blog post on The Pioneer Woman website featured photos of Todd in action and gave some indication of Drummond’s role as an ultimate football mom.

“What can I say? I’m a Todd — and Huskies — fan for life!” she explained. “There is nothing more exciting and thrilling than Friday-night football games in a small town. There’s also nothing more stressful for the mom of a quarterback than Friday night football games!”
