I have the same (non) strategy for a 3:30 game that I do a 12:30 game; I just sleep later if it's going to be a 3:30 game so I don't get too hungry first. Nothing but coffee, beer, and single-malt Scotch whisky if at all possible. I don't want any food on my stomach until I get a hot dog at halftime.

For a night game, I eat a huge late breakfast, a moderate lunch, and then I don't eat again until after the game. I double down on the coffee until about 3 pm, with a couple of shots of cheap Irish whiskey in the last two cups of coffee. Then it's the usual -- four or five beers, a flask of whiskey. That gets me through the game.

If I'm stuck in Atlanta and watching from home, I keep a more normal food schedule. There's something about being in Neyland that makes me want to be quasi-fasting while I go through it.

The OCD is strong in this one.

Much respect.

The guys who have a ritual breakfast are the ones with OCD. All I do is try to maximize both the caffeine and ethyl alcohol in my body at kickoff. Food just gets in the way.

Do you take pain killers for mosquito bites too?

I don't even notice mosquito bites until I've clawed them off my arms, at which point the blood is coming down in rivulets, at which point my wife just swabs them off with (non ethyl) alcohol in hope it'll make me scream. I pretty much make the whole thing go away by drinking adequate amounts of decent Scotch. And Guinness, which is the black blood of the earth.

...now I want a Guinness.

[Vercingetorix]

Shut up. Keg is out right now. Too much travel. Too much Knoxville.

Had a few pints at the pub on the way home tonight though. They were delicious. Black blood of the earth indeed.

This keg claim is bogus until I have indisputable proof.

Once I get it back up and running I'll post a video of my seven year old kid pouring a nice pint. We're traveling a bunch right now, unfortunately, and the keg will die in place if nobody's here to help it along while we're gone. So I may not be able to get a new keg until mid-July. In the meantime I'm drinking bottled beer like a GD animal.

How will I know it's your kid and more importantly, real beer? For all I know you could piece together a moon-landing-style production farse on me.

Maybe he'll have to pour 40 or 50 pints until you believe him. What a damn shame that would be.
