What are you doing tomorrow from a.m - 8pm to waste away the time until kickoff?

I will be at Disney on ice from 11:30am - 2:30pm ct.   (before anyone asks, yes, I have two young daughters aged 5 and 2). 

Although I will miss the early games, at least this will prohibit me from drinking before 3pm.

Last  year's Penn State game taught me that nervous-drinking from 11am - 7pm will cause me to not remember the 4th quarter when I wake up the next morning (which was a good thing with last year's Penn State game).

What are your plans for tomorrow to attempt to fill the void of time before 8pm?

Officiating Seminar. OTOH it's a Level 1 Seminar and the last time I had to sit through one of those I was about thirteen. So probably trying desperately not to check my phone all day. And at five the binge drinking commences to make up for the other lost hours.

Walking to the Farmer's Market in the early AM, walking back home for Gameday, beer cracked at 10:00am, watching Sparty trip and fall against FAU at 12:00pm, turning on Alabama/PSU at 3:30pm, then heading to the bar in GR to get a seat and watch USC/UGA at 4:30pm, then camp out there until the game.

Also, FYI Tigers/Twins is on national TV at 4 pm. Actually, come to think of it, maybe we'll go down to the game. Keeps yourself occupied and we should be home (suburban Detroit) well before kickoff.

I'll be counting my lucky stars that I only have to kill time until 5:00. 

The key will be staying up way past my bed time tonight so I can sleep in until 10-11 Saturday morning.  Then grab some grub, procure beer, and settle in to flip back and forth between Cal/Colorado and Tennessee/Cinci (should be mildly entertaining since I have cash on both games) while working up a healthy buzz to help the time fly.

So really I'll only have to work hard to kill about an hour of my precious but oh so finite lifespan.  And I should be nice and hammered by then.  Sounds good to me.

Tip: Give the woman you love (or in some cases your wives) a solid and meaningful toss first thing in the morning. This relieves your tension and puts a smile on her face that will hopefully last most of the day to where she'll at least leave you alone when you go to the padded room to watch the game (although, my wife will be right in there next to me, screaming louder).
