Title: Any special pre-game traditions? Share your own!
Post by: Emo EMAW on July 16, 2012, 12:31:48 PM
I see that many of us are very excited for the upcoming football season (some are very very very exicted!  :ksu:).  So I wanted to share a pre-game tradition of mine and hope that you share yours.  Maybe some ideas cross-pollinate and a whole new batch of pre-game traditions is born?  Maybe!  So here's ours:

1)  Wake up pretty early (like 7ish) and run around the house banging pots and pans with spoons screaming "it's a Wildcat Saturday!"  This gets everyone awake and excited.
2)  Get pretty pak'd.
3)  Team together to throw the smallest person as high into the air as possible, like so:

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ash4%2F431165_10100456639338071_1357406871_n.jpg&hash=b67e4b9019fa785444c6f8e68bb2614d0a7f5abc)

Rinse and repeat until someone breaks their collar bone.

So what do you guys do?!?!

I leave my tailgate exactly 2 hours before kickoff to go take my pregame nevrous poops in the stadium bathrooms before they lock them to the outside.

I go go to bed super early on Friday night so I can get up super early Saturday morning to get my chores done. Then usually watch the shitty Big 10 game on at 11am waiting patiently for the 2:30 ABC game. Pretty awesome huh?

Take a shower while listening to "stand up for the champions". Make first drink and lasso the troops. Head to the tailgate spot where we play washers, mingle with hotties, and blast some hot beats. Lead everyone in the K-----S-------U chant before we head in and usually slap hands with Willie.  :gocho:

Wildcat Saturday is pretty packed for me.  Usually I am politely asking the Chunkzilla I blasted before to leave so I can use the bathroom to get the nervous dump out of the way (takes around 30 mins for a quality cleansing).

Since I live in Ames, IA (KSU alumni getting a PhD at ISU unfortunately).  When KSU comes to town I'm going to be pinchin' loaves and blastin chunkies pre-game.

After at least downing a 12 pack...I'm at the appropriate level of drunk necessary to  :lynchmob:

Chug a beer. Stand at the edge of the rec field. Wait for a father and son (preferably visiting team fans) to start tossing a ball around. Get my timing down. Pick 6 the kid. Chug 2 beers Stone Cold Steve Austin style. Couple games of stump. Go in BSFS. Come out a winner. Life is good.  :emawkid:

*for non 11:30a games only*

Wake up at 6:30a to watch Chelsea FC play or if they are not playing what ever random EPL game is on Fox Soccer Channel.

Make breakfast: Typically eggs and sausage

Make coffee: Typically add a shot and a half of whiskey

Take shower

Decide which Purple shirt to wear

Go to tailgate at rec fields

Grill brats and hot dogs

go into stadium 90 minutes before game

Yell crap at other team from ICat seats in section 25, 7 rows up.

my pre-game routine up until last year: wake up around 7am screaming 'BRING ON THE CATS' as i run through the halls of my house. get ready, wildfratcountry comes over, we wait at least 2 additional hours for other girls to get ready, so we start drinking liquor of choice: malibu for me, whiskey for WFC (she's much more impressive than i). drive wildfratcountry's truck to BSFS while listening only to jimmy buffett & the coral reefers. stop at liquor store on the way to pick up a fifth of alcohol to give to miegecat to sneak into the stadium in his pants. formerly, i snuck in liquor in my cowboy boots, until the time i got caught and ejected from the game.

my pre-game routine this upcoming year: wander england in search of eurocat, so i don't have to watch cats games by myself :cry:

Depends on the game.  Stupid, stomp a mud hole in their ass games: wake up let the dog out, coffee, nervous poop, watch Gameday, watch the game.  Big games: nervous poops start the day before usuakky around 4:00 pm.  On gameday I get up, incessantly check goEMAW for late breaking news, watch Gameday and watch the game.  Nervous poop Fridays suck.

Wake up really hungover from Friday night pre-Pak, drive over to McDonald's and get a Sausage Egg McMuffin meal with a large coffee.  Go to friend's house to load truck with tailgate materials and start drinking. Swing by Rickel's and gas station for more beer / liquor / ice.  Park in the grass rec lots, and get super Pak'd.  Go into stadium with 45 minutes until the game and prepare for 'Cats victory.  :lynchmob:

There is something saddening about graduating because I'm wavering on if I can continue to wake up at 5am, get pak'd, and yell God awful things about the chubby kicker's mother.

That was always my favorite tradition.... berating student-athlete's mothers.

Not an every game tradition, but like a 4 or 5 games a year one.

Have the following conversation:

CF3:  Have you seen my KSU football T-Shirt?
Mrs. CF3:  You have like 9 of them
CF3:  I'm aware, but I want to wear that one with the helmet on it, I wore it to the game last week
Mrs. CF3:  Probably still in the laundry
CF3:  Wut
Mrs. CF3:  I didn't get all the laundry done.  Wear the Big XII championship one, or the purple KSU one, or the
CF3:  (interrupting Mrs. CF3) We won last week.  Do you not remember (describes previous game's best plays)?  I need that one.  It's lucky now. 
Mrs. CF3:  Listen, if you wanted it clean you should've either told me or washed it yourself.
CF3:  I didn't think it needed saying.  Its common sense
Mrs. CF3:   :curse:

Then I smell the dirty shirt, usually fabreeze the crap out of it and put it on, then head out to Manhattan to watch the KSU Cats score some touchdowns.

Do a "wake and bake" with tequila shots (the ones where you lick salt, toss a shot of tequila, and suck on a lime).  Alternate with cans of cold beer.  Before and during game.  Time honored and effective.

Wake up off and on until 6:00a. Mix a couple Bloody Marry's or Screwdriver's for the Mrs. and myself dependent on the previous night. Tailgate and get Pak'd in the rec parking lots. Berating opponents on recent gossip or bad publicity is one of my favorites, i.e. After Missouri game last year: Yelling "Wildcats win and we won the Civil War too". I like to think I added to the train wreck alcoholic Pinkel became.

Generally with about 5 hours before gametime I find 'meister and we start drinking the finest ice cold light pilsners 19 dollars can buy until about an hour before gametime. At this point we we head to section 26 and start indiscriminantly yelling the nastiest things we can think of about anyone on the opposing teams sideline.

Warning-weird post

So I just finished up watching 15 of the 16 goal videos and am now fired up for football season. I was thinking, how sweet would it be to have all those videos put together (minus the beginning and ending 3-5 seconds or so) into one big video followed by some other pump up videos like stand up into one 25 min thing of beauty.  Would be great to play on the tv/stereo as loud as possible while getting ready to tailgate. Since I in no way could make this happen is there some magician that could make my dreams come true?
