Drummond loves how football brings family together
Friday night football is a big Drummond family tradition and the Food Network host recently shared her appreciation for the game.
On Sept. 5, the Food Network host took to Instagram to share 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. “They travel home and show up!! Thank God for football.”
Todd’s football photos were featured in a blog post on The Pioneer Woman website
In August, The Pioneer Woman website dedicated a blog post to Todd’s senior year of high school football. There were a number of photos of Todd in action as well as some quotes from one of his biggest fans — his mom.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the dedication Todd has shown,” Drummond shared in the post.
The writer noted, “And she’s not afraid to show it: On any given Friday night in the fall, you can find her in the stands ringing cowbells and cheering like mad.”
The Pioneer Woman star gushed, “What can I say? I’m a Todd — and Huskies — fan for life!”
She added, “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!”
Todd said her enthusiasm for the game is off the charts. “On a scale of one to 10, she hits an 11,” he explained.
Todd also gave a glimpse at just how focused he is during games. “When I’m playing, I don’t think about anything except what goes on between those white lines on the field, but it’s so nice to know my mom supports me,” he explained.
