HS Football Game day rituals

[mustang04]

What are your favorite rituals and/or things on Fridays during football season??

As a kid, I used to love when our school would sell the fake Mustang tattoos, pickles and popcorn, and just the fun atmosphere! Once a varsity player, I loved dressing up nice and just the build up to the game of going to our fieldhouse, jamming out to loud music and having fun in the locker room, then getting ankles tape an going in to the bowl for pregame, looking around seeing how the stands were mostly empty except for early birds and staff setting up. Then the feeling of coming down the steps of the bowl for the game with a sea of red on our right side....man, great times! :)

Now, I never get to experience TXHSF anymore since I'm always on the road...soak it up for me, please y'all?

I leave work an hour or 2 early. Heck, game day is probably my least productive day of all at work.

I love game day!

Dr Pepper and a fat lip of Coppenhagen silver cap that is now but in high school I would always wear these ugly red socks under my nike game socks did that since I played pee wee football my mom bought me the wrong socks for my first football game and I wore them all the way through college football. And the socks had to be just right. Always listened to 2 pac Hail Mary... Ride or Die would get me jacked up.

When I was playing basketball my pre-game ritual was pretty much to take a giant dump before the game...

[MGAR]

Back in the day... The whole team ate in the cafeteria. Usually chicken fried steaks. After that went to field house and slept.. Pretty plain and simple..

Now a days they.... After pep rallies, which are home games only, they eat wherever and have to be back by certain time. They get back and go into locker room and either watch satellite tv on one of the many 42 inch TVs or pull down the 60 inch projector screen and play xbox...

[BaseballUmp]

We would have our pep rally in the morning then I would usually get signed out at lunch and go pick up some food and come back. Then I'd usually have a coach in the afternoon so we would watch a movie or something then do the same in my other classes. Then after 7th period we ran over to the field house real quick to look at the announcement board to see when to be back and what time 1st group went out. Then most of us went over to each others house and played games or got someones mom to cook us a little something something. After that we headed back to the field house and all chilled in the locker room listening to mostly Z-RO until the coaches came in and told us it was time for meetings. Then after meetings we'd finish getting taped and whatnot and hit the field with our groups. After we came back in I would always jam 99 Problems by Jay-Z and put on the eye black for all my boys. Then we would head down into the weight room and say a prayer then run out to the endzone for the breakthrough. We'd always have someone get us fired up by talking mad sht about the other team. Then it was gametime

(A true story - I swear!) Speaking of taking a giant dump, I recently stopped at a rest area to use the restroom. Both urinals were taken so I headed to one of the toilets....what happened next had me runnin' out of that place! There it was....as big as a full moon in August.....the biggest, most intimidating turd I'd ever seen in my life...I mean, this thing was not just any turd...it was gynormous...I'm talkin' about a turd at least 4 to 5 inches....IN DIAMETER!!! I got to the car visibly shaken...my wife asked me if I was OK...I don't remember responding. All I remember is thinkin', what kind of animal could produce such a thing? Was this really humanly possible? Is this person still roamin' the Texas countryside lookin' for other rest areas to do his harm?? Who was he? Was he a giant of man? Perhaps a very large truck drivin' German redneck? Or maybe Too Tall Jones? Could it have been a Samoan transfer? Was it the jolly green giant himself? An alien? All these questions.....After a month of therapy, I was finally able to put it all behind me.....but the next time I gotta go, it's gonna be between a couple of mesquite or cedar trees......:ack!:

One time working at Whataburger I had bathroom cleaning duty and some dude went in the bathroom and dropped a giant duece...it was bigger than a double flusher...in fact it wouldn't even break up when I tried to flush it...I had to take the plunger and break it up myself into smaller peices to get it to go down....pretty dang gross...

Where is Phil C when you need the matador?

[RoyceTTU]

I agree with most. The "battle dump" is the most important

[Maroon87]

[MGAR]

From now on, every time I sit in my "office" I will forever think of this freaking thread.

Wow. You experienced the evidence of the Legendary Lumberjack. He is known to drop telephone poles throughout the southwest. He is still not as legendary as the BEAST, who was fashioned from the hands of Zeus himself.

I usually drive 5+ Hours on gameday. What fun...
