Be honest, what's your pre-game ritual?

[stephenPE]

When I'm not at a game, my only actual ritual is during the game. Shot of tequila every time the Gators score a TD, half a shot for a field goal. Beer throughout. Back in the Spurrier days, we used to get -faced, especially playing the directional schools.

so you were ****faced by the end of the first qtr.

When I was a student, it was get to the Norman area around 8 a.m. if it was a non-noon game (6 a.m. for noon games) with a case of Bud Light Lime, a case of Bud Light, two pre-made pub subs, two 128 oz. Gatorades, a bottled Coke or two and some rum/whiskey. Two beers, some Gatorade, two beers, some Gatorade, linse, lather, repeat while partaking in tailgate activities. Mixed drink with the Coke/rum/whiskey for the 15-minute walk over to the stadium, timed to get to the seats about 15 minutes before kick.

Now my ritual is basically wake up, check to make sure nobody is suspended or hurt last-minute when possible, get to the stadium about 3 hours before kickoff.

I imagine if I had a different job my tailgating game would improve considerably with a real job as opposed to being a student. Be bringing a grill, lots of meat, better beer, etc. Maybe when I retire. If I retire. Seems so far away.

It was college. Didn't everyone? Hah!

Is there a link between being in college and consuming large amounts of Beer?

I think that question has been answered.

I've never done this before, but this weekend I'm going to smoke a couple of boston butts and have some people over to the house to celebrate the first weekend of college football. The pork will be pulled and ready to eat by UF's kickoff tomorrow.

What was the address again?

You got that right!

This should make you guys and endangered gals laugh... I don't watch any other college team play, until we play. TiVo is my friend though. Jesus, now that is superstitious!

I'm going to mow the grass, drink some sweet tea, clean and swim in the pool, grill some Brats (smothered in onions/peppers), put on my Game Gear, plop my butt in front of the big screen and watch the Gators kick some Idaho AZZ!
