Pregame Rituals

[RockHawk]

Hey all,
Who has a pregame ritual you want to share? Anything basic all the way to complex & OCD-like. Note that Seattle Times might use your response, so don't respond if you disagree to let them. Thanks!

You just gave incentive for people to lie and invent the most ridiculous rituals they can think of.

You brought that up knowing Pehawk is a member of this board?

Not extravagent at all, but the wife and I play Kool Moe Dee's "I go to Work" super loud on the way to Scooter's in Las Vegas. We've only lost once with that ritual, and it is a good song to begin getting amped up for the game.

I take one shot of Jager. Wouldn't matter if I was completely sober, already hammered, at my in-laws, at a funeral for a family member or driving my car while texting. One shot of Jager.

(NOTE: I've never been driving my car when Jager time came, so don't go all high and mighty on me. I'm looking at you Mr. Takes Everything Way Too Literal. I obviously don't actually condone drinking and driving.)

For home games, the ritual is a bit more complex, as I'm a season ticket holder (haven't missed a game since October 1998) but for away games, I hang the 12 flag on my front porch, and always put my 12 jersey on well before game time.

Nah. That wouldn't happen would it?

Here's what weez do...We paint ourselves blue and green and dance around a bonfire until we've worked ourselves into a feverish frenzy and then we sacrifice a goat.

12-5 so far..Woot!

Wow...'Scooters'...is that like in sort of a strip mall thing..like tucked back in the corner? If it is, I saw Social Distortion there the nite before the Huskies won the Natty. Wonder if it's the same place? I recall it was fairly far from the strip. Social D on New years eve and the red eye to Pasadena for the Rose bowl...nothing could be better than that!

I go for a killer hard tempo or interval run... Then shower n eat a giant meal. Runners high plus a full stomach plus a seahawks game is pretty much heaven. Nap at halftime and im peaking like Browner on adderal by the 4th.
