NoCalMike Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I know some of you are taking that day off from work. I work in the morning but will be off at 12:00pm, so I will only have 2-3 hours to kill before I head to the sportbar for all the pregame coverage and the game. So what is everyone else gonna do before the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Im gonna close my office door, take the phone off the hook, and read extremeskins for the 4 hours before pregame because the lord knows I will have NO motivation to work. 2 more days! this anticipation is killing me!

MikeB Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Heck, I'm already nervous. Hopefully I'll be busy right up to game time to take my mind off it. I've long since given up on wasting time dwelling on the games. It just hasn't been worth it the past decade or so. Hopefully SOS changes that.

SkinsLover Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I am leaving PA about 2:30-3:00...three hour drive...then Party with all the Skins fans in the Jericho Parking lots!!! (of course I will be taping the concert & the game so I can watch the thumping of the Jets real close up again and again and again..) I hope the rain drys up, or blows into another state....I want to see what the Skins look like without all the extra drama of flooding, downpours or lightening bolts!!! Hey..it's now 12:04am... Now it's only ONE day away from kickofff!!! getting rammy.......:jetssuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaGeorge Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Hawaii presents a unique problem as the game will be telecast on what they call satellite delay starting at 6:30 p.m. which equates to after midnight on the east coast. So, the key is to turn off the radio, most TV news/sports shows and avoid any football conversations with people who might blurt-out the score. The local TV news programs will tell viewers to look away when they put the score on the screen, so they're OK but not any of the national programs. Do I sneak a peek sometimes? Unless it's a blowout, not before the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Get off of work @ 4 PM head up to Seattle to watch the game with RiggoDrill. Will be wearing my Redskins Coaches Polo @ work on Thurday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awgustlab Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Gonna work most of the day and take off an hour or so early - around 3 or 4 MST - just in time to get the pre-party stuff going and then the pregame starts at 5:00 MST so the real festivities by that time will have already been underway at least a little bit. The nerves will be high high high around 5 initially and then mellow down some until about 45 minutes before kickoff. The mellow for about 5 minutes again, and then adrenaline through and through for the night. Of course I am going to be swilling those Keystone Lights the whole damn time and smoking about a pack of smokes. Will quit another day. HTTR!!!!!!!!!!!

Yomar Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'll be watching the clock tic...toc.... writhing in unbearable anticipation, probably checking this site every couple of seconds for some sort of merciful distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well, I will wile away the day in nervous anticipation for the game, while dealing with the phone calls from my dad and my pinhead older brother the Colts fans, both of whom raze the hell out of me as thought they root for the Cowboys. Matter of fact, the pinhead's wife is a Cowboys fan :puke: Then, as the time for the game nears, I will put on the Redskins jersey with No 4, And NO, I'm not a fan of punter Bryan Barker. 4 is my lucky #. (TC4, get it? LOL!!!!) Then I will curse, yell, and scream at the TV for the next 3 or so hours at the game action. But one thing you can count on; whether the Redskins are up 40-0 or behind 40-0, I will watch THE WHOLE GAME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalagon the Black Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 The game will be at a bright 11:00 Friday morning here in chilly Melbourne, so I'm starting drinking at the pub at 10:00am! Ah, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 game starts at 6pm PDT. Get off of work at 5, fly through southern california traffic (yeah, right) and hope I make it on time to see the kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well the game doesn't come on here till 1:00 AM so I'll have more time to kill than most. But since I just had surgery to fuse my left wrist in place, I have plenty of pain killers to help pass the time, and three superbowl DVD's that I've been saving to watch for this day.

Potato Sack Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 At this point, I'm out of work. I'm awaiting calls from 2 prospective managers who are trying to work out the salary I threw on the table. One is running a background check. I guess I'll be sitting around Thursday nervously waiting for "the call", if nothing come through today. You know? I wonder if this is what the draft is like? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowghost Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I will wake up at 4:45 am est, at 5:30 am I will leave my home and pick up my boss and head to the airport. At 8:15 am the plane leaves for Orlando, I should land about 9:30am. From there go set up our show booth, should finish about noon. Eat lunch and I might just have a few . Hopefully that will make me a little sleepy so I may take a good nap. Eat some dinner and go back to the hotel bar, claim a good seat, warn the bartender I am not a quiet fan. I will be wearing my Art Monk jersey, my Redskins watch, and be a nervous wreck until kickoff.:twitch: I will stay at the bar as long as they allow me . Once they ask me to leave I will go up to my room and finish the game. Man that is going to be one long day:( . I think it will be worth the wait:wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
