DAILY DEBATE: What is your gameday ritual?

I actually wanted to answer this for my sport and then I realized, it's about how I prepare for Miami football games.

I find an illegal stream five minutes before kickoff and hope that a) it holds up and b) that I can stay awake if kickoff is post 10 pm.

Feel for you. I was stationed in Germany for the 87 Fiesta bowl. Game was on AFN at like 2am. No way I could stay up and watch it live. So I set my VCR and intended to watch the game in the morning.
Then I wake up hearing two dudes walk down the hallway saying “ I can’t believe Miami lost that game” shocked and in disbelief, I jumped up, fast forwarded to the last 5 minutes and watched in horror.

It was several years before I had the stomach to watch the game in its entirety.

Stand like a LB in front of the TV.

Begin screaming at the TV. (Miami coaches and players don't hear my screams)

Sit down and watch the rest of the game.

Similar. I never sit on the couch for a UM game, I’m either standing or sitting on the edge of the coffee table.

Fortunately my nearest neighbor is several hundred yards away, so my yelling the last many years is only heard by my dog, wife or daughter.

The sun was rising when the Cal game ended this year. I think I slept another three hours and off I went for breakfast.
 
Opening game, and big games: blast Al Blades hit, stick, bust d*ck until the chick screams at me! Then play it louder!
 
1. Wake up hoping it is a late kickoff.
2. Take the dog to the grocery store
3. Buy enough beer and snacks to gain 2 pounds
4. Put on my old 80s jersey that they wore when I went to the U. This is only to make me feel a bit superior.
5. Ask my wife to watch. Decline. Kids. Decline.
6. I sit alone. Text my nephew and old roommate.

Noon kick (now 1100) I begin drinking at 0700 so I have a good buzz by game time.
1530 kick (now 1430) I begin drinking at 0700 so I can start being partially drunk by game time.
1930 kick (now 1830) I begin drinking at 0700 so I can be speaking in cursive by game time.
Anything later than that, I begin drinking at 0700 so I can be obliterated drunk and barely coherent.
 
Get up early- 5ish- get my climber, climb the pole an plug in to the nabor’s cabel, grab a jar of applejack shi…I mean elixir, run down to da 7-11 pik up a 30 rack of Natty Lite and boiled pnuts.

I work Saturday mornings. So if it’s a noon game, I set the DVR.
