Give us your game day ritual for this Saturday (and will it be different)
Posted on 11/5/15 at 4:13 pm

Mine will be my usual for a night away game (and home games I don't go to):
Will be up early (can never sleep past 5:30 or 6:00 even on weekends).
Catch whatever scraps of college football coverage are on the networks that early and check out TD and surf the net a bit.
Watch a bit of Gameday and SEC Nation.
Go into the office and work a couple of hours late morning.
Catch bits of any good daytime games that are on. Otherwise work in the yard and BS with the neighbors
Catch the highlight and scoreboard type shows. More Tiger Droppings.
Do any errands that need doing and chill for a bit.
Get ready for the game - what this entails depends on if we're watching at home alone, having people over or going to someone else's to watch.
I find a routine something like this gets me through the day of a big game and keeps the time from dragging.

Drink beer and cook. Rinse and repeat

The only way I can relax and get my mind off things on gameday is, mow the lawn and plan/shop for the groceries I need for our delicious celebration dinner that I'll finally be able to eat after we win.

Normally it's wake up watch gameday, and watch football all day... for the past month it's been wake up, watch gameday, go to the library and study for the 7 for 6-7 hours then watch some football at night... I missed the damn auburn game.

Usually go hunting or yard work early, come in and watch parts of the early games. Make sure I've got everything to grill and drink. I'll watch all of the 2:30 game if it's a good one.
This Saturday I'll be at La Tech for my daughter's swim meet, and will be getting back to the camp just in time to fire up the pit before gametime.

Since I'm not going to the game, I usually turn on gameday and start drinking by 11:00. Get some food when I'm hungry, and stop drinking after LSU finishes. Same for Sundays, but the drinking is usually toned down quite a bit. I'll usually pull out a second T.V. and play some PS4 with my friends while watching if nothing good is on.

Wake up and feed my kids around 8:30
Watch the pregame shows
Sit in my spot @ 10:59 to watch the first games
Prepare lunch for the kids
Usually put on a pot of beans while preparing lunch
Sit in my spot to watch the 2:30 games
Drink beer all day
At about 5:30 I begin getting nervous and looking at my watch every 10 minutes
Kiss the wife on the cheek when she gets in from nursing school
Give the kids a pregame speech at about 6:30
Sit in my spot for a 7:00 kickoff
Scream to the high heavens for about the first quarter.
Settle into the game by the 2nd quarter and watch LSU spank that arse.
Exception to ritual is this week due to a work function at Six Flags. I don't mind b/c it will help with the nerves and give me something to do during the long wait for kickoff.

Going hunting saturday morning, eat lunch at the local corner store, come home and watch DVR'd gameday (if anything pertains to LSU)...take nap.
Then going to watch the game with my entire family....i'm actually dreading this part. I may need to be by myself for this one.
ETA - mom's making gumbo.

My game day plans just changed! Got a ticket and hotel room given to me, just have to drive to T-Town.
Posted on 11/5/15 at 4:48 pm to Methuselah
Wake up at 4.
Go hunting.
Hopefully kill a deer.
Bait stands.
Check scores and TD at home or camp.
Drink a few beers and get whatever I need done (mow, change oil etc.)
Clean out my truck
Drink more beer.
Put on my most comfortable LSU gear.
Go to man cave, load up man cave fridge.
Watch Buga whip arse.
ETA: Unless I'm at the game or tailgating, every Saturday in the fall I'm hunting or fishing. Wife's in Med School so she can't clean during the week, Saturday morning she knocks out cleaning the entire crib. (I've tried to help, she's a control freak though)

I watch or attend every single game. Never missed one for a wedding or silly shite like that. But every year when people start talking about last year's Florida game or Last year's Bama game, I can't seem to recall a lot of the details. Might have something to do with my pre-game ritual of filling up on whiskey ALL DAY LONG. Will it be different? I started around noon today; that's different I guess.
