What odd things do you take with you to those season games? Do you take 3 pairs of shoes, a lucky rabbits foot, 1 and a half Snickers bars, 5 whistles, a gallon of Gatorade, nothing? Anything odd? (And after reading this forum I wouldn't consider fishnets as being odd.)

2 different pre-game boards

1 extra set of shoe laces
1 bottle of Fabreze(just in case)

1 Notebook
1 set of rulebooks, etc.
2 Blank VCR tapes
4 extra whistles, lanyards
1 knee brace

AAR--

How big is your house?!

But seriously, the voice recorder may not be a bad idea for mental notes and reactions. I haven't thought of that one. Although, there are some officials in Alaska that may disagree with me.


I take at least two of everything, except shoes. I also bring my shoe polish bag as well. Rule book is crucial for those half-time and end of game discussions. I also include a bottle of advil.

Two of everything we wear, except a jacket.

Knee support, ankle supports, band aides, travel sized tooth paste and mouth wash, deodorant, hair gel, Advil, and my own mix of Blue Goo and Flex-all.

Towel, pregame board, rule and case books, and note book.

but don't you get really poor mileage by having to pull that semi-trailer behind you on the way to the game?

1) How lucky could the foot be if it didn't help the rabbit?

2) No matter how many snickers bars I leave with, I arive to the game with none.

3) Additional items: A small sewing kit (I stole mine from a fancy hotel); A small first aid kit (adhesive bandages, pain pills, etc.); travel size bottles of mouthwash (buy the little bottles only once and refill them from the big bottles)

To the 2 of everything list:

First I always bring 2 shoes - one shoe is worthless.

I can't believe Mark didn't get that one in first.

I add cold medicine and cough drops.

I usually do the game hopping on one foot.

Seriously, in addition to the usual stuff like a towel and a rulebook, I always have a first aid kid, some antacids (really) and my cell phone with 911 on speed dial.

Plus, of course, a bottle of coachbite antidote.

Does the kid carry your bag, or do you put the kid in the bag?

No bananas to feed the howler monkeys after halftime?

What are the blank VCR tapes for?
