What is your favorite pre-game ritual?

[mossad]

On fridays or saturdays after work I go to the local barber shop to get a haircut and talk with the football heads about the game that night. Then we have a nice BBQ place we go to before we leave to the game.

[allendad]

The Allen Eagle Escadrille marching through the tunnel
at Texas Stadium ! The echo is magnificent!!!!!:D

(HOPEFULLY . . . . we'll get that chance at the NEW palace)

[stinger]

haka!!!!!:d:d

[dragonpants]

Grey Goose and grape G-2 at Texas Stadium because we cannot drink in the Dragon Stadium parking lot. :D

[SP Tiger Backer]

Stop at Sonic for a meal on the way to the game. #1 burger meal, fries and limeaid (Sonic Sized of course). The only game last year I did not do this, including the playoff games, was the Waco game and we lost. Of course we also lost to Allen but that was a great game.

[ALLENFANDINGO5]

Eating at Bar B Cuties before home games then getting to the gate early to get the top row seat in the south endzone as to not get the smell from the porta potties. Hopefully this year I will be able to get season tickets.

[Fleeman93]

Large size icy cold adult pop (Bud) or two from Chili's.

[E-Vol-ution]

One 12 oz beer of choice in warm to hot weather........one swig of blackberry brandy in cold weather. ;)

[2smooth07]

Sit in some AC and have a glass of purple bag special (aka Crown) then head to the stadium where i get my sideline pass

[Jayhawker]

Is that what they call a "Riley" at SLC?

[ftballin11]

For Katy.

In the playoffs.

The band marching on too the field and playing at the opposing team.

Team cal.

The circle.

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Getting to Pennington Field early so I can shop and see all the new Trinity stuff all the booster clubs have for sale.

Then get my drink and popcorn and watch the boys warm up.

Then....the HAKA!!!

Ditto, Now were talkin

[P-L-A-N-O]

All of Plano's Tradition the band marching around the field before everygame!! OH and btw Plano was the first to have the band come out of the tunnel at Texas Stadium and march around the field while playing March Grandioso!!!! Everything about Plano is amazing!:notworthy

That sonic is always so crowded though. I like the way that STP walked through the tunnel last year with hells bells and those tiger growls over the speakers, it actually was pretty cool.

[LufkinPantherRules]

Get there hour and 1/2 early, listen to the pre-game on the radio, go to ihop or bk to get some burgers, and then last play football on the practice fields

When I was a kid........my buddies and I would case out the stadium, walking around usually to the concession stand near the back right corner.........and then gliding ever so quietly, climb the chain link fence without making a sound. One after the other, followed by giving each other fives.......and find seats for the game.

Love of the game for a "have not" can't be denied........lolGood one LOL!!!

[dragonpants]

Not a bad idea? I have not named it although my wife to be has a special name for it..... actually she is latching on pretty well, she realized early on if she has any hope of spending time with me on Fridays that she needs to get on board.

Now they have a green G-2 so I will give that a whirl for this upcoming season.

There is a whole process usually the grey goose is consumed straight as I have a real issue with mixing with really good vodka. Then that is chased with Rolling Rock and the G2 is used to properly hydrate so I do not get too jacked up. Panther has witnessed the ritual as well as DragonBKR.

At Dragon Stadium I only drink non-alcoholic beer ;) as there is to be no drinking on school property.

[E-Vol-ution]

Isn't that the law everywhere?
Can't do the non-alcohol beer............that's like a car with no wheels.lolAt Dragon Stadium I only drink non-alcoholic beer ;) as there is to be no drinking on school property.

True, that is why I pour my non alcoholic beer into a dark cup before I consume it. Believe it or not it makes it taste very much like beer with alcohol in it. :D

[Pool Man]

Absolutely, without a doubt, the Haka. Watching those kids do that is the funniest thing I think I've ever seen in my life. If you ever get the opportunity to see it close up, like on t.v., check out how they widen and buldge out their eyes. Too funny.

[Boss Hawgette]

It's gotta be Pennington Field nachos, the Haka, and a post game meal at Waffle House. It used to be putting on my "outfit" in the parking lot...talk about some strange looks.

Funny is not a word I would use to describe the Haka. It is bad a$$ and entertaining but not funny at all I actually find that description offensive.

Maybe you shouldnt be so sensitive then. I think the timing of when it happens shouldnt be allowed. They should have to do it earlier then delay the game like they do.

Where have you been? It has NEVER caused the game to be delayed.

[FreshmanTiger]

The toss right after Katy takes the field and the Fans chanting Katy, Katy, Katy.

Watching my son warm-up and knowing he part of Katy and Texas Football.

[jgg050759]

It has to be getting your team in a circle, talking :Censor: about the other team, and then getting all bent out of shape when the other team takes offense to it. What a great ritual!:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

[2ManyExperts]

Finally saw the HAKA take place in person, that really got the crowd going. Not sure what school it was,(Astrodome, playoffs) but the busses pulled up to that big ramp, and the band immediatly started their marching drumline beat from the busses to their places in the stands or field. Awesome..

[DTKF]

Amen. I thought the Judson staff was going to lose their minds waiting for them to slowly walk out and then line up and then do the haka.

[odeagrad79]

The "HAKA" what a beautiful tribal ritual. God Bless the folks from the
Islands.

At some point and time we all did come from tribes.

I would hate to be the announcer for Trinity games. LOL

[ftballin11]

Yeah that was the only time I saw it and it seemed, like it delayed everything.

That's weird. At Katy, every Saturday game Katy meet at the school around 7. Then we all go to Luby's and eat a chicken fried steak and eggs. Then we would walk around the movie theater and head back to the school to watch a inspirational movie.

I always loved the chicken fried steak and eggs on saterday, even if I had to wake up early for it.

OH yea, the only downside was all of our satarday games were in December, and it was freezing outside.

Somehow I don't remember weather getting in the way of practice or a pre-game ritual.

I would have considered it a sigh of the apocolypse if Coach Joseph had ever said its too hot or cold to practice.

[da hawaiian]

Not the Haka
