Official early morning Purdue gameday thread

[Pennsyhusker]

It is early here back east. I just had coffee. Now I might have a muffin. Damn this pregame routine is stressful.

Lmao...up already getting everything set up before Game Day comes on.

It's why I like 11am games......now I have to stress about the game for 12 hours until it's over.

GBR

Exactly. I am now taking inventory of my wings and fries in the freezer. Then a quick check on the booze and beer stockpile. This pregame prep is very stressful. I blame Langsdorf.
I just hope I don't pull a hamstring. That will further complicate the pregame prep. If I go down I am sure Cole Conrad could slide on over here and take over admirably

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Obviously this thread is tongue in cheek. But it would be interesting to know what the pregame rituals/prep are for everyone

Headed out for an 8 mile jog. Kids soccer games. Mow the lawn, rake up pine needles.

Then beer.

I like night games.

Making breakfast while the wife gets the kids in their Huskers gear. Then we will head to the Y and get in a quick workout before taking the kids to the zoo. Back in time to make some nachos, crack open a beer and fire up Husker Online.

are people monitoring ESPNs gameday?

we need to be kept apprised of any slight (real or imagined) and adjust our degree of outrage/butthurt accordingly .. I'm sure they have been plotting all week about how they can disrespect Nebraska

what color tie is Herbstreit wearing? - if it is any color other than red then it is a clear shot at Nebraska, its fans, players and the entire state

I have ESPN on right now... Already a love fest for Saban.. I hope A&M wins.. Shocked Alabama is favored by 19..

Up late friday night with kids at youth group 5th qtr activity, up early Saturday, get 1 hour work out in, hug wife, work on ongoing remodel project, stop to eat around 11, get back to work, wife hollers GAME ON, sit down (as best I can) watch the game with a book to read during commercals. Work during half time, and have my tablet handy to read the many posts about the game and how terrible Tommy and Langsdorf are.

Yes, I always have my tablet ready. It is good to read doom and gloom during commercials

amazing people quote & bash College game day when everyone says they don't watch it

It is always a part of my pregame warmups. Love Corso. Don't care that they have their biases. It is just sports. I enjoy watching them knowing full well that their opinions are no better or worse than those of the average fan. I watch to get a sense, therefore, of how NU football is viewed by the broader public. So when they laughed at NU I just took it in stride. If we keep winning all that changes.

My wings are in the crock pot. Wish I had some Sparky sauce! Anyone know if you can buy it online and have it shipped?
Having my first beer. The most popular in PA from the oldest brewery in America: Yuengling

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Up early cleaning rifles and doing laundry. Have to clean vests and packs as well. Everything is dirty and bloody.

I will send you 3 jars of each kind of Sparkys for every case of Yuengling you send me..... and I am dead serious.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

From the Elk?

Yes. It was really dry the first few days. My new rifle is really dusty, and all my clothes are either wet from the snow the last couple days, smell like camp fire, or are stained with blood.

How many kinds of Sparky sauce are there?
I think this swap is possible. Depends on how much it costs to ship a case of beer. Can't be too bad

Man, sounds like a great trip. I butchered some Turkeys I shot a few days ago. Nothing compared to an Elk. Ever kill a moose? My sister's fiancé did in Alaska and had to canoe this massive beast down a river

Nope. Not yet. I want a caribou next. Then maybe onto moose.

 

[The_Glove_Man]

Dang, you guys are making me feel like I should go to the gym. Back in an hour.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

How many different kinds of Sparky sauce are there?
