Morning of “THE Game” Drinking Thread

Submitted by MaineGoBlue on November 30th, 2019 at 5:45 AM

I could sleep much last night, like a kid waiting for Christmas, but it’s finally here!  Can’t wait for THE game today, most importantly how are you getting your mind prepared to handle what’s about to happen?

I have started my day off with a mimosa, about to hit some Idiom, a solid imperial porter from Griffin Claw.  Then headed to the tailgate to start off with a Bloody Mary, a tradition that goes way back.  I’ll finish off my morning with lots of wonderfully crafted Haze and Blue from Big Lake Brewing in Holland.

For those of you going, be loud and proud today, LFG Blue!!!!!

Xanax and Four Sigmatic Lions Mane and Chaga Mushroom Coffee, mix in a little Laird Superfood Turmeric Coconut Creamer then another Xanax along with a blunt, then some edibles.....should be interesting....

You have some interesting ideas. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

No alcohol for me today, but I didn't sleep much last night, so I'll be dipping into the stimulant stash.

Depending on how the day goes I'll either open a stupidly expensive bottle of wine or take 2mg  of fuckitall.

Damn bro. Starting off early. I like it. I'm near the Maine border (on the MA side of things) for my inlaw's holiday gathering. It's depressing how early it gets dark around here. You must be used to it. Anyway I just discovered the Allagash Curieux beer and it's probably the best beer I've ever had. I need to find it for today.

I sold my tickets for less than fave value because I can no longer emotionally deal with personally watching another loss to these clowns.  I have just poured myself my first whiskey old fashioned. I am sending the wife and kids away and will be holed up in my living room to watch the game. Win or lose, by 3:30 I hope to be too numb to feel the pain if it should be again inflicted on the BLUE...but ohhh the euphoria if we pull this out! GO BLUE!

Smart move, Old Wov. No one here blames you and in fact, we'd probably all sell our tickets for a discount too. Losing eight straight has not happened in The Game since 1902-1909. I wouldn't want to witness it in person either. Pace yourself though and god speed.

Aaron, you out of all people?! You're the most cynical cock sucker on these boards and you're calling for my head?! Your mod gods aren't saving you today. They are too drunk and nervous to listen for your pussy cries for help. Deal with it today and deal with eight straight. I'll be banned tomorrow and you can go back to your echo chamber.

I’ve got some leftover HOMES dipa’s that my son brought for thanksgiving but Im not a morning / pregame drinker so it’ll wait for a postgame celebration. I will greet a few hundred Buckeyes in my section with a smile as always so I will fortify soon with coffee,an omelette, and Zingerman’s raisin toast.

Not drinking yet, we're about to leave from GR. Bringing some blueberry gin and lemonade and vodka and OJ. Looking to get a solid buzz on to deal with whatever this game brings. Can't wait!

Starting with Kenya AA, then I'll hit the bike/trainer for a 1.5hr spin, have a recovery shake, then get some leftovers together for gametime. Gametime beverages will be Haze & Blue Hazy IPA from Big Lake Brewing. If something stiffer becomes required (for numbing of celebrating), then I'll move on to  Bulleit Rye Old Fashioned. 

Go Blue!

Getting ready to make the drive for the game! This will be my second time seeing the game in person, the other time was 2011! Let’s go Blue!

I'm sticking with in state booze for today. I picked up Rochester Mills' variety pack of Milkshake Stouts the other day. I'll have a few of those during the game, then celebrate Michigan's victory this evening with old fashioneds using New Holland's Beer Barrel Bourbon.

Coffee only for me.  Just put the Michigan flag out.  We'll cook up our tailgate dish and head out in awhile.  Then it's time to walk to the Big House to crush the buckeyes!  Go Blue!

Im half a cup deep into a fresh Keurig'd, Kroger brand (private selection) coffee. Looking at the empty black cherry white claw can made me go with coffee first this morning.

I did not get much sleep, but that is really because I was playing 24/7 shoot house Modern Warfare from 8:30 to about 1:00.
