Disclosure: This game day quotes and sports slogans post is sponsored by Red Baron Pizza. I am compensated for this tailgate post as part of my collaboration for #RedBaronGameTime. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
For the past few years, I’ve been trying to embrace the whole family game day thing. After all, The Hubs lives and breathes Arkansas Razorback football. Even our girly-girl daughters seem taken with the Razorback enthusiasm even if they don’t watch the game for very long.
We live in the south. Football is a way of life around here. Not being sports-minded at all, embracing game day has always been a struggle. I’ve always wished I understood more about the actual rules of football so I could better enjoy it.
After many years of struggling to find myself in this football-crazed world we live in, I found my role. I love to entertain and organize parties – even if it is in celebration of something I don’t entirely get. Why not host a game day party for my own little family on game days? I’ve realized my girls will more likely grow up to enjoy and understand football if we make football weekends fun with tailgates and parties.
See? This is me trying to be a good football wife and mom in the south.
Game Day Quotes and Sports Slogans
Recently, I’ve been trying to incorporate my letter boards into anything I can. The possibilities are endless with a letter board! I searched Google hoping to find some cute game day letter board quotes. I was disappointed that there weren’t nearly as many cute sports sayings out there as I expected concerning pizza parties or football parties.
For a letter board, you need short sports quotes. Some of the quotes I did see are quotes that have been around for a long time. But I thought of quite a few new ones. You will see many of these game day quotes are focused on food because…well, food.
Food, Family, Football
We can’t keep calm. Football is on.
Ready
Set
Eat
Check score.
Take bite.
Repeat.
Finally.
Game day.
My team.
My people.
My plate.
Keep score on the screen,
but not on my plate.
Three things I care about today…
Football. Food. Football.
Football, family & food.
Doesn’t get more Sunday Funday than this.
Saturdays are for family, food & football.
Game day.
Time to slay.
Are you ready for some football?
I like to party. And by party I mean tailgate.
We tailgate harder than your team plays
Catch football, not feelings
Down, set, party
Never lost a tailgate yet

Baseball Life Quotes for Letter Boards | Quotes About Softball

Basically, you can take many of the sports slogans in this post and switch out “football” for “basketball” or “soccer” or whichever sport you need. You could use these many of these sports slogans for a soccer theme party, a football birthday party, a tennis match, et. Most of the sports slogans listed above could serve as any kind of sports day slogan – no matter the sport – aside from some of the rhyming ones.

Easy Game Day Food
This week, we tried Red Baron Minis and the Red Baron Deep Dish Singles. They were quick to prepare and easy for the girls to eat. These make for a super simple pizza party for game day. The Hubs bought the Red Baron pizzas at Sam’s Club last week while he picked up some new shelving for our garage.
For game day, I decided to try the Red Baron Minis in my handy-dandy newish air fryer. I have probably used the air fryer less than 10 times, and I am constantly looking for opportunities to use it more so air fryer pizzas seemed perfect!
As usual, my little cheerleaders wanted to help out. Scooter Britches put the frozen mini pizzas in the air fryer, and we set it for seven minutes at 400 degrees. Meanwhile, I popped three of the deep dish singles in the oven.
Both versions came out gooey and delicious. Next time, I will try a deep dish single in the air fryer too. I love how crunchy the outer edges were on the pizza.
Sports Theme Party Decorations
For decorations, I grabbed some Razorback-themed items that I keep stored with my party supplies. I dug around in the craft supply drawers and found some brown lunch sacks. I was originally going to cut them into little football shapes, but then I decided to use them for popcorn. It only took about five minutes to make the bags look like footballs by gluing white strips of paper to them. (It would be easy to make a whole bunch of these at once to keep on hand throughout game season).
Now that we had our first family-only game day party, I’ll be all set for the next one with the help of Red Baron Minis and Red Baron Deep Dish pizzas, the extra popcorn bags that I made ahead of time, and some new game day quotes! These sports slogans would also be cute on invitations for a tailgate or football party. There are so many other family-friendly ideas I plan to check out for future game days. Here are some ideas I plan to use:

Decorating a Football Helmet by Our Pretty Little Girls

This is such a great idea to enjoy game day! I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’m not a football fan either and I don’t understand it at all. But I have learned to come around and I do the samething and make food and make a day out of it!
Mia
This sounds like a super creative way to amp up game time!

It’s been so long since I had pizza but my son is in love with pizza.
Leanne
What a great idea to make a game day letter board! I’m saving this so I can remember your ideas!
The Gifted Gabber
Yay! I like chalkboards for parties, too. But I am finding the letter boards so much easier as my handwriting is pretty sloppy so I wind up getting stressed out with it. lol
