Gameday Ritual

yasoon · 09-08-2006, 03:04 PM

So, the day is almost upon us and I am ready.

I am a cheeseball and thought some of you may want to throw in your gameday rituals for this Sunday.

My basement was finished in December and so were the Saints. I didn't really get to enjoy it.
All my Saints brethren have retreated from Atl back to the southern parts of Mississippi, so I will probably watch the game alone.
Sunday, it will be me, a 48 inch plasma, a 12 pack of Abita, and some sort of food to soak up the beer. My wife and child will be safe and sound upstairs...the dog will be hiding as he always does during Saints games. (I swear, he hears the pregame and knows it's about to get ugly.)

I will wear my gold Deuce jersey. I will not open a beer till kickoff, cuz I drink em reeaaaal fast once the action starts. I will get hammered, I will scream at the TV, I will try not to break stuff. Hopefully, I will emerge from my dungeon at 4:15 with a 1-0 Saints team.

I'm sure someone can do better than that

(Damn, I'm getting old.)

this is my gameday ritual ..........i always watch the saints game at Cronies located in simi Valley, Cali. Since the game usually starts at 10 in the mornin i try to start o drink at 9.........The reason why i drink is that i am tired of people calling the the Los Angelesd saints.........and two when i tell them that i am a Saints fan ,two words exit there mouth .........I'm Sorry . Like New orleans has some kind of disease or a charity case. All i ask of the Saints this year is pride .cause i am a Saints fan in a foreign region and every day it gets harder and harder everyday to root for a team that is the worst in the history of the NFL. Please saints do us proud and lead us somewhere besides the back end of the bus.

Win are lose I don my current Saints ball cap and head down to the nearest Hooters. This year I'll more than likely be at Hooters on Hollywood Blvd and watch our Saints lose the opener to the Browns.

i try to start o drink at 9

Hooray, Beer!

The reason why i drink is...

Hold it right there. You don't need an excuse. Cheers!

.... and if you start feelin' guilty about drinking at 9 - remember that Alaskan Saints fans are shiot faced before breakfast.

Start cooking around 10:30 (usually fried chicken breast strips), pop open first beer at 11. Usually by noon kickoff I am on the third or fourth beer, by half time usually pretty hammered. After the game is over I usually surf the net for a few minutes and pass out while trying to watch the 2nd game... LOL

Nice.

Am I the only one who has trouble watching any of the late games after a saints loss?

When we win, I am so happy I can just laugh through the rest of the evening. When we lose I turn the TV off and cry.

Wake up...purr with the wife than hit the litter box. Down my antidepressents. Call the usual crew for TV. They bring the beer and I provide the 9 foot HDTV screen for good measure. Eating is optional.
