What is your Sunday Ritual?

[BallHawk]

When the Packers play on gameday(assuming Sundays) what is your day leading up to the game like? Everybody has theirs but here's mine.

1. Wake up, realize it's gameday, wait for my heart to skip a beat, and then get out of bed.

2. Go down stairs in my shorts and Packer night shirt. Just to add a note it is freakin' hot down in Florida. It is humid as hell, too, yet I still where a shirt to bed when I sleep, even though on normal nights I just sleep in boxers. I sacrifice my body hoping my belief will lead to victory(Wow, did I sound like Jesus there.)

3. Eat Breakfast and watch SportsCenter. Count Chocula with Green and Gold Sprinkles.

4. Go onto Packerrats of course.

5. Are you ready for this? Are you sure you're ready for this? Ok, I give a pep talk to my jersey. I know I'm a wacko. I lay my jersey out on my bed and tell it what we need to do today and then I go "On 3... 1, 2, 3, PACK! Sometimes I think I'm related to a crazy person. Like Tom Cruise or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or something.

6. Watch Sunday NFL Countdown, Fantasy Team, play Madden, throw football outside, whatever I can do to pass time. And then.....

7. Get to the game and root like crazy.

Sweet, that was my 1,000th post. I'd like to thank everybody for helping me reach this achievement. My Keyboard, my lack of discipline to do my Homework until 10:00 at night, and all my fellow posters. Here's to 2,000.

congrats on 1k, ballhawk!

BTW, I must have missed the part where you drink or smoke something before giving a pep talk to your jerseys

Hawk, I can't say I have an actual ritual other than fretting like heck from wakeup time to game time - but I enjoyed yours and don't apologize for sounding wacko, heck half of us are and we just figure that's normal. You have a vg ritual for helping the time pass more quickly, enjoy the game Sunday and we'll all be back here after that sounding off at the good and the bad, whatever it may be!

Sorry GB, I forgot to mention I have my Count Chocula with some Bourbon. Ghost shaped Marshmellows and a John Collins. YUM!

John Collins? Is that Tom's brother?

[oregonpackfan]

After reading the Sunday paper, I will don appropriate Packer shirts/sweatshirts/raingear and head over to a Buddy's place to watch the game. He has a big-screen TV. Several ex-Wisconsinite Packer fans join us there.

If the game is not locally televised, we head to Portland's Corbet Fish House owned by a former Green Bay resident. The small family restaurant is usually filled with about 40 Packer fans, most of them ex-Wisconsinites. It feels like "Going Home" but without the mosquitos, the humidity, and the bitterly cold weather.

OPF

Depends what Tom Collins you're talking about.

This one?


Or the guy from this one?

wAKE UP IN THE morning and get the boys fired up for the game while eating breakfast,talking about the teams opponent and their strengths and weaknesses. Church by 8am, than home by 9 to catch the pregame show on TMJ or the Fan. Than watch some ESPN while the radio is still on and than start playing indoor football with my two sons. While playing, usually around 11, put on our Packer music mix(Bang on the drum all day, Rock N Roll 2, taking care of buisness, Hells Bells intro into Start me up and concluding with twilight zone). get a few bites to eat, put the surround sound on, put Wayne and Larry on and play catch with the boys while the game is ready to start. Once the game starts, the wife runs upstairs cause I get way to intense and the cheers or jeers start a flyin. Can't wait till Sunday or even tomorrow night!

[BallHawk]

Hell Yeah! I'm pumped!!!

BRING 'EM ON!

This Sunday my wife and step son are going to a Lincon Park Zoo while I watch the Packers. I will have the TV all to myself. I will be rooting for the PACK!!

Saturday I am going to watch #1 Ohio State and #3 Texas. My wife and step son are going to a indoor WaterPark. I will be watching that game all to myself!


We are probably going to have the same ritual every week!
