Saints vs Niners, The Drinking Game

“Because something has to make this game interesting”

The other day, while hanging out with the party people, my friend was inquiring me about tickets to the 49ers game this weekend. I found this rather odd though, because I knew she wasn’t a Niners fan, so I asked her why she was asking. She told me that they were playing the Saints. Like the bad friend I am, I completely forgot that she was a die hard Saints fan, something of a rarity for Californians, and probably a rarity for anywhere outside of Louisiana.

Later on in the week, she told me that tickets were selling pretty high on Craigslist. That kind of sucked, but I thought she could still enjoy the game with an old buddy I call booze. Ahhh sweet, sweet beer, you make everything so much enjoyable. (Even Carlos Mencia!) Thus, for those of you planning to get hammered while watching the game, here are some drinking games that might enhance your experience:

WR Drop Challenge:
Choose a drinking partner whose rooting for the opposite team. Once you found your opponent, choose a WR from their team to be their representative, and they’ll choose a WR from your team. Every time your representative drops the ball, that’s a drink/shot.

Shots of the Golden Gate, Bay Bridge:
Every time you see a shot of the Golden Gate from the Goodyear Blimp, take a drink. Every time you see a shot of the Bay Bridge, take two. (This probably won’t happen often because the Bay Bridge is one ugly bridge and no one wants to see it).

Yards Gained Over Under:
Have a moderator choose a random number from one to number of yards to the goal. Have someone pick if the yards gained on the next offensive play is over or under that number, and if they’re wrong, that’s a drink.

Rough Start:
Every time a commentator remarks about the Saint’s 0-4 start, that’s a drink. Prepare to get hammered on this game.

After the Game Round Up:
The losing fans have to take drinks according the stats of the winning team. Establish something at the beginning like every 200 pass yds is a drink, every TD is a drink, and every INT is a drink. Thus, if the Niners win and Alex Smith had 400 yds (only in dreams), 1 TD pass, and 1 INT, Saints fans would have 4 drinks per the system established earlier. If you’re really confident in your team, set something outrageous, like 1 TD is 5 drinks. (Though if you lose, you’re extremely screwed).

Well there you have it! KC Cal will be on hiatus over the weekend, but there may be some new bloggers joining us, so keep your eyes peeled for new posts the next few days.
