What is your game day ritual?

This is an awesome topic as Im curious as well...

On game day..I wake up that morning, get ready and put on my game day shirt(sometimes its under a jersey)

Then take my 15+ yr old Ga Football shirt and put it on the top center of the couch w/ the logo facing the TV.(just like you...hahaha)

Then I have a small piece of the hedges that hangs above the entry way into my living room, so that everyone who comes in has to walk under the hedges!!

Great topic!!!

Same!

The night before the game i set my TV to espn, for College Gameday

Wake up Sat. morning and turn on my TV, and then get ready!

My UGA shorts are unfolded and worn for the first time all week, then comes MY ONE AND ALL #7 JERSEY, Untouched till gameday.

And last but not least, my

GAMEDAY

chair, Also Untouched all week

Then GOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS! Sick 'em...

I wake up about 45 minutes before kickoff.
Pray to God to keep them safe.
I eat nothing.
I do not talk to anyone.. The Channel or radio station DOES NOT CHANGE for any reason.
I pretend the refs/players/coaches can hear me through the t.v. because I am yelling quite often.

If we win, I call my mother and then I consume large amounts of lager and celebrate like its Mardi Gras while feasting on a meal that tastes like victory.

If we lose, I take a few shots of liquor and eat the misery of defeat and the pain of waiting another year for another shot at that team or title, then do pretty much nothing the rest of the useless day.

If I go to the game, well, you all are just gonna have to find me to understand the craziness that endures. Erk would be proud, I'll leave it at that.

If it's a home game, I'm usually on the road heading toward Athens by at least 8:00 am. Yes even the late games. I'm settled in at our tailgate spot at Lumpkin and Hull by 10:00 and then it's time for a spicy Bloddy Mary. Or 2 of them. YUM. Eat some food. Chat with my my friends and enjoy several beverages of choice until it's time to walk to the stadium. And lets not forget about enjoying the scenery.

How depressing it is that Saturday mornings in Athens is over until next year.

I have no specific rituals, but if we lose, no one talks to me for a few hours. I can't stand to read about it in the Sunday papers either. I'm a sore loser.
