1) Buy a six pack of Rolling Rock. Yes, it's awful, but tradition is tradition is tradition. You think Norwegian kids like eating lye-soaked rotted cod every Christmas? No, but they do it because it's tradition and it's good luck.
2) Eat some chicken wings. See above, but without all the awful.
3) Keep the Jim Calhoun bobble-head doll safe until tomorrow. (He sits next to the TV during tournament games.) Speaking of which, we need Kevin Ollie bobble-head dolls.
4) Find the original Boneyard Classic tee shirt. Last time I wore it was the 2011 title game, but I'm sure we still have it. (Coincidence - my in-laws stayed over last night on their trek back to Massachusetts from their wintering hole in Florida. My father-in-law was wearing a Boneyard Classic tee shirt when he arrived.)
5) Assemble the Sports Illustrateds from past titles. I have four - three pristine ones and then one that was signed by about 50 Boneyarders after the first title.
6) Head to the state park. I've been in the state park near our house at some point during all of the past five games - including the Michigan State game where the combination of the Michigan State run and the constantly jabbering of the females in the house chased me out of the house at halftime. Watched the rest of the game on my phone in the park. Went there for tip-off yesterday and will go for tip-off tomorrow. Will bring bear spray due to the late tip...
