Re: Houston game fan check in/10 rules of engagement
Firmly agree with the last 2 posts. Nothing annoys me more than a bunch of dumbasses booing after the first drive or something when we have to punt or whatever.
I have had my spats with a few of them. Actually the friend I am going with gets more negative the drunker he gets. I keep him in check though.

Don't get pissed at anybody for standing on third down. I was in 127 for the last game and the people behind me we're cranky about that.

I always stand on 3rd down. However, mostly everybody in front of me stands also so the people behind can't get mad at me. I have to stand to see the action anyway.

I agree wholeheartedly with getting to your seat early. Let's rock the place when Ray does his dance. I told my sitter to be at the house an hour early than normal.

Rules for watching at home:
1- Make sure all breakable objects are safely out of reach. Pets and children, although generally mobile, are considered breakable objects.
2- If things aren't going well, change jerseys or hats. They have a direct effect on the outcome of the game.
3- Watch your language and remember children are featherless parrots. As much pride as it brings to hear your three year old say "Squeelers are smelly, inbred hill-jacks", your wife will get mad if they say it in church. To a pack of Squeeler fans.
4- If your wife has taken the remote due to a failure to follow rule three, there are buttons on the TV. Find them.
5- Poop early, before the game. That should be a restful time where a man can reflect on the accomplishments of his life, or perhaps peruse one's favorite sporting magazine.
6- Don't punch walls. They're harder than your hand.
Additional rules for watching the game at someone else's house:
1- Make sure they know you're going to be there. There was an uncomfortable situation I can't discuss.
2- Remain clothed. Refer back to rule one.

Just know where your studs are, and as long as you swing with purpose you'll get through. :)
... Unless you don't have drywall.
Re: Houston game fan check in/10 rules of engagement
Spot on, RavensRock !! I cannot stand those that boo the home team. It is not a "foxhole buddy" to have friendly fire deliberately. If you are pissed off, do the Klingon thing and turn your back with your arms crossed.
This thread is working me into a lather. There are a few days left so I have to pace myself.
Re: Houston game fan check in/10 rules of engagement
Those not tolerant to high decibel levels should bring ear plugs. To say its gonna be loud is an understatement.
I myself get tears of joy from how loud our stadium gets, especially when Ray comes out of the tunnel. It's like M&T has a pulse.

LOL. I've actually done this a few times.
Re: Houston game fan check in/10 rules of engagement
And if you are Houston fan, go ahead and wear a Ravens shirt. Not that I think you would be in danger otherwise, but think how pretty one uniform color will look in the stands :o)
