Didn't see any thread to start talking about our first game (and its never to early to talk about the first game of the season). Basically I want to talk about our first opponent as well as just gameday traditions. I have already started planning out what I am going to do on 9/3/11.
My gamedays start with waking up like its Christmas morning (If I wake up at 6am, I am not falling back asleep). I generally go through my phone calling everyone I know yelling GAMEDAY BABY! and hanging up. I put on a tech shirt and go downstairs and start blasting enter sandman. I put on some of my fav tech youtube vids and take a shot of bourbon (bought a bottle for this season last weekend).
Next, its on to the grill. I will have had some ribs marinating overnight that I will get out of the fridge. The smoker gets prepped for a long slow smoke and I put a dry rub on the ribs. Once the ribs are in the smoker I prepare the mop which includes half a beer...this signifies its time to start drinking (the shot of bourbon is just my wakeup).
These are the ribs before the Boise game.
With the ribs on the grill and the fiance still asleep I fire up the PS3. I play a game of NCAA11 (12 when it comes out) against the computer to simulate the upcoming game. By the time the PS3 game is over, gameday is usually on TV.
As you can see in the pic, main game on big screen, laptop to the left of TV is for streaming espn3 to big TV. Netbook in front of couch is for checking box score stats. smaller tv to the right is for secondary game (usually another ACC game). Computer on far right is also for streaming another game from espn 3.
Fiance wakes up and I get out the cornhole sets. I have to recruit some neighbors to play (still trying to find a way to teach my dogs). Ribs come off the smoker once the games starts and once the ribs on consumed the phone comes out to text back and forth with my brother who is usually at the game (JR at Tech).
I Call my grandfather and then parents at halftime to talk about the first half...then for the 2nd half its tequila if we are behind, yuengling and bourbon if we are ahead.
