The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Maybe this should be in OTW, feel free to move it. What sort of game day rituals/superstitions do you have? Do you wear certain clothes? Eat certain foods. Special place to watch? I personally make sure to call my aunt before every game, and my dad at every half time. I also have a special spot at the bar that I stand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) My gameday rituals and superstitions are so effective, they make it seem as though their impact on the outcome of the game is completely random. But I know better. Edited April 17, 2015 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hand-wringing in front of the TV alone so I don't bother anyone else. It's a tough road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I like to start a minimum of a dozen game-day threads. During the game, I like to start a thread every time the Bills give up a first down AND every time they get a first down. At halftime, I like to start a thread to recap the first half, as well as start another thread to predict what the first play from scrimmage will be in the 3rd quarter. After the 3rd quarter, I like to start a thread about the first quarter, because I miss it by then. After the game, I usually sit back and read my Bible that was signed by John Fogerty.

Beef Jerky Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) At a bar Chug a beer at the moment of kickoff. At home shower and shave exactly 30 min before kickoff. At the stadium...

Seasons1992 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Watch the clock nervously from 9am EST on....making sure I leave my house at no later than 12:30 to get to my friend's to put the game on there on his 2nd big screen. (Bengals on the main screen). Make amazing fat-bastard lunches, drink for 3 hours, watch RedZone channel also. Go home and either sulk or be happy for the rest of the week until next Sunday.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Drinking beers, pacing around & yelling at the TV. We are the same man. Watch the clock nervously from 9am EST on....making sure I leave my house at no later than 12:30 to get to my friend's to put the game on there on his 2nd big screen. (Bengals on the main screen). Make amazing fat-bastard lunches, drink for 3 hours, watch RedZone channel also. Go home and either sulk or be happy for the rest of the week until next Sunday. Rinse and repeat 16 times a year. It's amazing how the outcome of the Buffalo Bills game can change the while course of my week. I think I have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cup of coffee in red Bills mug. Shower, dress, don appropriate color Bills jersey. Walk dog. Go to supermarket for Sunday football food menu ingredients. Home by 11:30. Begin cooking whilst listening to WGR; TV is on appropriate channel on mute. First beer at noon. I spend a lot of the game in the kitchen tending to food; I can see the TV clearly from the kitchen and go into the living room during most offensive plays and all defensive 3rd downs. I do a lot of pacing and very little-to-no sitting at all until halftime, which is usually chow time. When something pisses me off, it usually results in an open-handed slap on the counter, accompanied by talking to myself about what it is that pissed me off, but not yelling. Unless it's something so stupid or so poorly-timed that I lose it for a minute and yell at the television (the one that comes to mind from last year is "the Orton slide"). Losses rarely put me into a very bad mood, unless we lose a game we had in control and gave away. Wins absolutely put me into a better mood every time. I'm rarely very active on TBD during the game, but usually get on shortly after it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Usually wake up around 8am.Check TSW.Annoy the better half about why the Bills are destined for greatness. Check TSW. Go grab a 6 pack of whatever I'm craving. Check TSW. Down a few, check TSW, then get picked up by my cousin and head over to the local bills backers bar (Packys in Lighthouse Point) Check TSW. Then watch. After a loss, I will avoid TSW for a couple days. Edited April 17, 2015 by It's in My Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
