Traditions Before/During a Game

There is one thing I always do before a game: I buy three Jack Links Steak Jerky Sticks and eat them midway through the day. They are nourishing and have just the right amount of calories to kick you in the ass enough for the rest of the day.

What sort of pregame traditions do you guys have?

A fairly new tradition me and a few buddies established is right before the starting call for every game, we all shoot ourselves in the foot at the same time. Most of us wear boots so we can't feel it but it's just a little thing we like to do.

PS: Now I want beef jerky

Haha, some of us shoot each other in the facemask while we're waiting for the game to start. I've also taken up the habit of screaming "Let's do this LEEEEERRROOOOOOOYYYYYY JEEEEEENNNNKKKKKIIIIINSSSS!!!!!!!" before running on a suicide sprint

One word: WAFFLZ.

A- Arm your pants
F- Fire!
F- Forget about the mess
L- Let it drip
Z- Zip up

That...and eat waffles.
If anyone has OP'd with me, they'll know it's a tradition of mine to consume 10+ waffles the morning before an OP.
Carbo-loading FTW!

For some reason, food always finds it's way into my traditions.
-Patty pants (Ya, it's what it sounds like. Pants made from hamburger patties...a weird SoCal hockey tradition)
-Turkey legs! Every time I go to Disneyland, I have to get those GIANT TURKEY LEGS. Scrumptious.
-Pasta night with the mil-sim group before big OPs. Lots of carbs. Good stuff. Miss those days.

And visiting the "Senor" taco stand in Rosarito, Mexico...on my way home from Casa de Paz (orphanage I work at during the summer).

I eat either Taco Bell or Whataburger after every game. If any of you have ever been to Texas, you know what Whataburger is, and you know why it's my after game meal!

LOL @ SCRUMPTIOUS! My mom says that sometimes.

Really, more than 10? I could only eat like 3 or 4 waffles at a time, they're too rich to eat more than that... Though I can eat TONS of pasta.. and tacos.. and hamburgers. Probably not at the same time though

Whataburger...psh.
In-N-Out is what a hamburger's all about

Secret menu highlights (my meal):
~Double-double, animal style, potato heaven, w/grilled onions.
~Animal style fries w/grilled onions.

If you haven't eaten In-N-Out...you haven't lived.

Our team tradition seems to be Taco Bell. Order a ton of food and let the officers fight over who gets to pay the tab.

My Taco Bell order is always four crunchy tacos, one soft taco, fire sauce, nachos, and a big iced tea or mountain dew baja blast to wash it down! Durkee, you have no idea what you are talking about, man. In N Out is good, but Whataburger has the most kickass onion rings in this hemisphere.

Big fat steak eaten nice and bloody just of the grill. (As in I eat it on the grill) With a tamato, cheese and onion sandwich(Flavoured with a bit of salt and pepper) also made on the grill. Best meal in the world.

i really have no traditions

Another thing I've noticed I've been doing a lot lately is I've been drinking about 20 bottles of water the day before I go airsofting. Haha, it helps to hydrate real well the day before. The only problem is you'll be pissing all day long.

Eh i usually go out and buy a Venom energy drink at one point during the week of the game. I also layout all my gear on my bed in a more or less strict order the night before a game. Plus if i'm driving to a field i usually put on some hard music and crank it up while on the road.

Well it's not really a tradition but, I tend to cut myself by mistake before every game I play, or injure my hands in some way.

the real tradition is:
I take a 26 minute nap, I can't say how but I fall asleep, and stay asleep for exactly 26 minutes. No alarm clocks, nobody waking me up. strange I know but after I sleep I eat, after I eat I get pissed, so I listen to music, after that I'm down to start kicking ass.

I pretty much just load my mags and wait while doing some breathing excersises.

I recently also have been walking like I know everything, then the first few shots I cry and hide behind somone.... then go off into a normal game! never forget, so far around here I have the highest FPS and ROF..... that I know of

EMO!!! Sorry

@durkee In-N-Out is totally where its at.

In-N-Out is good... The Habit (Burger Grill) is better.

Y'all have never had Burger Boy! About 30 minutes from here, there's a little place in a village called Tijeras that has the best burgers that side of the Rio Grande, I kid you not. They also have some of the best chili fries I have ever had. They make them with New Mexican Red Chile, rather than bean and meat chili

We are WAY off topic. I'm gonna start a new thread on this... it seems to be popular

Nah, we're on topic. We're discussing our traditions!
It was my fault that I went off topic, my bad

Hehe too late...
