I really like going to Sherlock's Pub & Grill at Central Expwy. & Park Lane (six blocks from my place) in Dallas for the LSU Alumni watch parties. There are three other bars that also have weekly watch parties. Dallas LSU Alumni website
If I stay home it is better for me to watch them alone.

I am lucky to still be living and working in Oxford so I dont miss any home games but when we have an away game I tend to adhere to this regimen:
1.Begin drinking an hour or two before kickoff, depending on when kickoff is of course. If we are playing at night, I am gonna be fairly tanked by the start.
2. Invite 2-3 buddies over, tops. I like having company to watch the game with, but not too much and it has to be good company that knows a thing or two. Can't be having some scrub that doesnt know shite about the game.
3. Roll 2 blunts. 1 for kickoff and another for the 2nd half.
4. Make a Maker's/Water for kickoff ---> smoke said blunt.
5. When done with Maker's drink, load up a Cope Snuff to enjoy till halftime. Hotty frickin Toddy.

If I'm not there, I've got to be somewhere else that I don't want to be, which usually interferes with my watching or listening to the game. Period. I hate not being at a home game, so I don't remember any part of my "ritual"...
ETA: As far as an away game, I usually start with a bloody mary and then drink beer the whole time. GF eventually gets mad at me for being so pissed at OM and yelling at them. I drink some more...

I live about 45 minutes out of Athens and strangely their just aren't many Gator fans around to watch the game with me so that sucks.
I've tried to have some of new UGA friends around on Saturdays but we sit their secretly rooting for the other team to lose and we just end up pissed at each other.

Thankfully I still live & work in Tuscaloosa, but for away games we usually wake up early, eat a big breakfast, start drinking immediately and spend the majority of the day in a drunken stupor screaming at the TV. Sometimes with friends, sometimes just my boyfriend and I. Just like a gameday...hah

Just have about 3 or 4 people over...Big crowds for important games are terrible...someone is always talking or not paying attention asking "what just happened?"...then you have to take time out of your watching the game to explain to dumbfrick what happened...then before you know it you're the dumbfrick asking what happened....
yeah so a small group, pregame grill/eat..good times.

I have learned to not invite anyone except other hard core fans. My friends all know not to even call until the game is over. They know I probably won't answer the phone.

I usually make it to most of the away games, and all the home games, but when I have to watch one at the house, its usually with just one or two friends. Lots of drinking, cook something on the grill, and then 100% focus on the game once it kicks off.

I live 8 hours from Tiger Stadium 
so my Saturdays are usually spent at home.
I like to wake up a brew a pot of coffee and turn on GameDay at 10 am. (I don't watch that shite with EA on)
After GameDay goes off I look for the 12:00 SEC game on TV or flip around until I find a somewhat interesting game.
About 1:30 or so I have some friends that come over and we start prepping meat to grill. We fire up the grill and wait until the UGA game comes on(they are all big puppy fans). We drink grill meat and eat and sit around and BS for most of the day.
Then its time to get ready to watch the TIGAHS play and after the game I usually crawl into bed.

I have about 5-6 big state fans about my age that I watch games with. They'll bring a few people with them usually. If we watch at my house, it goes like this:
1. Plan gameday meal on friday. Get all ingredients after work.
2. Next day, wake up and watch college gameday with breakfast.
3. People begin showing up towards the end of gameday. Open first beer. I drink Octoberfest for every game when it's in season.
4. Prepare a couple dips or have people bring them.
5. Load the vaporizer up in my room for anyone who may need it.
6. Open curtains and also windows if it's cool enough. My grill is right beside the wall of my tv so i can watch and listen like I'm in the living room while I get the grill going. :nb4ur2poorforoutdoortv:
7. After grill is going, make sure all food is ready to hit the grill and then hit the vape to get things going. Keep beers flowing.
8. I stand up most of the game walking in and out and pacing and drinking.
9. Watch us play a solid first half.
10. Halftime vape.
11. Settle down on the couch sometime in the second half to watch the game slip away.
12. Mix a huge/stout Barrel Select and coke
13. Sink deeper into my chair in disgust.
14. Insert Grizzly Wintergreen into lip
15. Game is over. Grab a road soda and head to the bar to drown in my sorrows.

Haha I lol'd.
Wake up. Start drinking, usually Jim Beam or Firefly. Watch game. Get super pissed. Yell numerous racial epithets. Continue drinking. Continue drinking. Continue drinking. Go to the bars. Blackout.

I can't go out in Jax...half the crowd is FSU fans that show up to root against UF...no matter the opponent. They would rather do that then show up to watch FSU.
Generally, I have a group of about 5/6 people over. Get all crazy then sit up and celebrate or booze heavily. If we lose I then spend the following Sunday morning attempting to convince myself I like the NFL better...that tactic lasts about 30 minutes to one hour.
