I watch all games with family; one occasional friend who understands and doesn't **** it up. We make it a big meal, either pre/post or during game.
All wear Steeler garb every football Sunday.
At game time (sometimes PVR'd) all don jerseys: Momma in 7, eldest boy in 43 (he won't change), youngest in 26 (calls him Millenium Bell), and me in same one as last week if it was a win (86 until next pre-season!)
Youngest grabs everyone's TT. We have extras, but rarely allow anyone to witness them.
Open first beer at kickoff.
I've been saying "snap the damn ball, Ben" and "throw the damn ball, Ben" much less over past couple seasons.....but when Ben does **** the bed (first Rat game, second bungle game), my wife calms me and says "....Ben will get it done"....and sometimes that works!
After a Steeler TD, as the excitement fades, someone always "kisses" the dog. (who also has a #7 jersey from puppy years)
If the family has to be away from home during game time, all will wear jerseys. It is pretty damn funny to see the faces of parents and kids at hockey games when we show up.
If I'm travelling, I always have my Lambert jersey and TT, but never really feel completely comfortable.
Go Steelers!!

My boxers must not match enemy teams colors
Same coozie for my beer every week.
Same Steelers hat and t shirt every week until a loss, then I change them until I find another winning combination.

I like this thread!!! After reading the first page I'll submit mine...
I'm more a season long type of guy and it all starts w/ the hair.
1. Every year I start growing my hair and won't cut the "length" until the Steelers are done for the season.
2. Like most, I do not wear the opposing teams colors the week we play them.
3. Every Sunday, I get up - I chyt, shower and shave my face. Then I put on red underwear (this started after the four game losing streak - so I ain't changing it), my black Under Armour fitted shirt and then I suit up w/ my yellow Steeler shorts and my home or away jersey. I must have on knee high socks (usually my Bumble Bees - but I've rocked the All Black knee highs the last two weeks.
4. Some weeks I log on to see what's going on - sometimes I don't. I don't really like watching the game w/ anyone, but, sometimes I get invited over so I grin and bare it because I know I get in a 'mood' if we lose or are losing...
That's about it...

I wondered if you were going to include "think up some lame-*** excuse to not go to people's house to watch the game"....

I have a bunch of Christmas related Steeler stuff. Snowmen, Santas, a reindeer, other stuff....I don't put any of it away until the Steelers are done for the year. All my other Christmas stuff is put away, none of the Steeler Christmas stuff.
I wear a Steeler hoodie or my #86 jersey during the game.

Yeah, I stopped wearing Steelers gear on gameday as years past the more I put on, the more often we ended up losing those games. So I wear regular garb, but am keenly aware not to have on any boxers, socks, shirts etc in any color of that week's opposing team.
This season, I've stashed away a can of Old Spice Alps deodorant, which I wear only on gamedays. The Alps are in Switzerland, where Ben's family is from, thus this practice of applying Alps deodorant keeps Ben upright and out of harm's way. You need only to glance at the decreased sack numbers this year to see for yourself how effective this has been.
I finally got my own Terrible Towel early in December, sent to me by some kind folks in the 'Burgh. We are undefeated ever since said towel is displayed prominently in my house. On gamedays, it rests in front of me on the coffee table, can't have nothing on it, or even touching it, and I give it a twirl during crowd shots on tv when fans are doing the same in the stadium. Again, how do you spell u-n-d-e-f-e-a-t-e-d?
The more nuanced I've been, the more games we've won. Needless to say, I've done everything I can and feel I'm a pretty big reason the Steelers are sitting where they are currently. Of course, I don't expect a thank you or a slap on the back from the Rooneys, Tomlin or the players. I do this for them, unsolicited. This Sunday will be no different, I'll be ready to put my hand in the pile.
I promise to make it over before the season is over to let you hold my hand instead of DBS's

On game day, I pick my nose with my left hand. Right hand all other days.

I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's something unusual.
