Game Day Rituals?

[All Vol!]

They do get a bit more intensive around tourney time for me. Basically I begin involuntarily rounding anything Orange up from around the house until it all comes together in a Big Orange shrine on the dining room table. I live in the Northern VA/Washington DC area, but I did manage to make it home for the KY beatdown in K Town. The sign and shakers are from that game. Am I the only really weird kid? What’s your game day ritual?...

I get up at 5:08 AM and check volnation for any new threads.

My game day rituals are the 2 Bs:
1. Butterflies in my stomach
2. Biting my nails

I wake up early with a nervous belly then poop it all out.

Record the game and watch it only if we win.

GVETP!

 

[FlVols]

Orange and White head to toe! I do that combo for every game day. Go Vols!

My game day ritual is a combination of being confident of a win but being still nervous as hell about the game

Glad i'm not the only one that gets the nervous poops. I got very familiar with the toilets in Bridgestone when we played UK lol.

I guess I was wrong, you are not always full of it.......

The morning of every NCAA Tournament game (men's or women's) I kiss a basketball that Pat Summitt autographed for me in 1996.... and I pace in circles until we have a 20 point lead.

Hoping you won't have to pace long today my friend!

I take that as a compliment thank you.

It's a sign that my pregame ritual includes drinking at 8 am....

Fake!

 

[JoAllan]

1. whatever I had on for the last Tennessee win must be clean and laid out the night before the game.
2. Put those clothes on

But hey we all do that

 

[livefaith]

Starting a new one today ...

 

[alaVOL]

Sleep in a little, check latest Vols news and dress with anything from just a Vol hat to a shirt, shoes, jacket, socks, tie and UT sunglasses. Never rocked any orange pants, but if I had some I probably would.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

A little Bob and Bert is a must for any true vol fan. It’s what separates us from (them) the bandwagons

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Unfortunately, on this game day I was working. Thus is the life of a beer man. So anyone who had a cold adult beverage at their favorite watering hole during the game today, raise a glass and say a quiet thank you to your friendly neighborhood beer man. My fellow Vol fans are what kept me going today when the kegs started feeling a little heavier!!
GBO!!

Only padded.

I like to hot rail a big shard of crystal meth and sweat the game out. Woo!

Even though I don't understand anything you wrote there, it does make me glad I live in my trailer park instead of yours.
