What do You Take With You?

[brainbrian]

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.)

It's funny that this came up today because I was just moving all of my basketball stuff that I take with me to another part of my house.
Inventory is as such:
2 of everything on clothing(not shoes)
2 different pre-game boards
1 Jump rope
1 extra set of shoe laces
1 bottle of Fabreze(just in case)
1 bottle of wrinkle remover(just in case)
1 Notebook
1 set of rulebooks, etc.
2 Blank VCR tapes
4 extra whistles, lanyards
1 knee brace
2 pens
3 index cards
1 digital voice recorder

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?

[Snake~eyes]

No bananas to feed the howler monkeys after halftime?

What are the blank VCR tapes for?
