Super Bowl Sunday: What else needs to be said?

PrintThe 2009 NFL season reaches its grand finale later this afternoon when Super Bowl XLIV will go down between the AFC champion Indianapolis Colts and NFC champion New Orleans Saints. For the first time since 1993, the two #1 seeds are meeting for the Lombardi Trophy.
We're actually going to be trying something new for the Super Bowl. Normally we'd post a general open thread for discussion. This year, SB Nation wants to try and get everybody across the network's football sites into one thread to see how big a discussion they can get going. We'll have more about that later this afternoon, including a link to the thread.
For now though, I'm curious about the traditions people take part in on Super Bowl Sunday. Recently I've basically just watched the Super Bowl with friends. It hasn't been the same set of friends each year, but more just whomever is having a Super Bowl party. However, when I was a kid I remember every year we'd watch it at one person's house, and there would be a touch football game out on the street at halftime.
I don't remember many specifics, but I do have one particular memory. I remember scoring a touchdown using a version of the fumblerooski. I was the center hiking the ball. I went to hike, but held onto the ball while the QB dropped back pretending to have the ball. People scattered and I held onto the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. Not sure why that's one of the few such memories, but it remains ingrained in my head.
Does anybody else have any particular tradition you take part in every Super Bowl Sunday?

Super Bowl Traditions
1. Copious amounts of booze.
2. Copious amounts of finger foods.
3. Coming up with a thousand excuses for why the Niners aren’t in the Super Bowl.
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son."
My Tradition
Get together with friends(no girls allowed, never watch football with girls)
A lot of food
Play Football at halftime because the music always sucks
And of course come up with any reason why the niners didn’t make it, and any reference to the niners point it out as quickly as we can
Hit like Berry, Score like Jerry.
Sausage fest?
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Traditions
My favorite tradition USED to be watching the 49ers play,,, or in the alternative hating on the Cowboys, Packers, John Elway (it was tough that one year they played the Packers). More recently it’s been hating on the Pats.
Otherwise: Food, beer (not booze, marathon not a sprint- remember the pre-game and halftime are excruciatingly long), and sometimes a commercial game. The idea for the commercial game is trying to be the first person to accurately predict what the product is before anyone else, or before they say what it is. That tradition kinda fell off as the beer drinking increased (bathroom breaks). Since moving into the city it’s been more difficult to get a halftime game together, used to be a regular occasion.
Go Niners!
