My rituals are for home games only...haven't found anything that works for away games

Football:
-First thing in the morning...put on the NCSU Football bracelet

-Tailgate, tailgate, tailgate
-At the game I wear the #17 P. Rivers Chargers jersey or my NCSU alumni association t-shirt

Basketball:
-Wear the red sweater vest, white button up, red tie, and red/white victory socks on game day if it is a work day. If it is a weekend, I wear my white NCSU hoodie all day till game time.
-At the game I wear the #44 David Thompson jersey with red sweater underneath, red / white 3 striped adidas fleece on top of that if it is cold enough, and 1998 throwback ncsu snapback hat (actually, it's not a throwback...I got it in 1998)

Both:
-Bojangles' on Western for breakfast....4 piece Supreme Dinner, dirty rice, iced tea, bbq sauce, and 2 packs of honey
-Red "beer" boxers (thank God games aren't on back to back days)

What's yours?

Can I or anyone else please create a RALEIGH LOSES!! thread asap?

Last time we were trailing 6-0 against Clemson and I created the thread. It was right after halftime that it was deleted by ftw1 causing us to lose.

2/26/2014 1:12:26 PM

Mostly just get drunk.

2/26/2014 1:13:41 PM

Smoking a pork shoulder today or is it RAM???

2/26/2014 1:17:18 PM

I haven't had a drink in a long time, this game will make it really HARD.

2/26/2014 3:40:05 PM

What is this crap? Are you a character from a Bud Light commercial??

2/26/2014 4:24:57 PM

2/26/2014 4:30:36 PM

drink a lot before the game so I don't care.
drink a lot at halftime so I ensure I continue to don't care.
drink a lot after the event to ensure I continue to don't care.

2/26/2014 4:47:06 PM

It's only weird if it doesn't work

2/26/2014 4:54:33 PM

get drunk, beat my wife, kick my dog, pass out.

2/26/2014 4:55:55 PM

cry in my Eagle Rare

2/26/2014 5:46:16 PM

Remove objects from the living room that could break the TV if thrown. Brush up on the swear words. Curse satan and god alike for helping UNC win all the time.

The usual stuff.

2/26/2014 6:15:08 PM

Find something else to do.

If that doesn't work, watch and hate myself.

2/26/2014 6:20:21 PM

- Have a drink or two before the game

- watch the game by myself or with my dog and have several more drinks

- Either curse at the TV or yell happily depending on how the game is going...mostly curse

- Either be extra happy for the rest of the day if we win or have a 15 minute "cool down period" and go back to my regular scheduled program if we lose

2/26/2014 6:32:29 PM

Man, I used to get AMPED before games. Now I barely remember when we're playing. Sad

Sweet jesus we've sucked for decades.

2/26/2014 7:02:57 PM

Oh, I thought the OP was a woman. I mean...what self respecting man wears a bracelet? A football bracelet at that...

2/26/2014 7:18:00 PM

Well I usually like to start the day with a rockin rap song of a sort.

2/26/2014 7:30:38 PM

I start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. I get crazy.

[Edited on February 26, 2014 at 7:39 PM. Reason : i'll take second place]

2/26/2014 7:39:01 PM

it took me an extra 15 minutes to calm down from this one.

2/26/2014 11:21:29 PM

My game day ritual is being disappointed after the game

2/26/2014 11:24:36 PM

My post-game ritual is to:

Buy a plane ticket and am gonna go over there this week and just see what the fuck is up. Several friends have said that's what I should do, while my folks have said to just move on. How stupid of an idea is this.
