Game day:
In keeping with Coach Cowher's choice of jerseys, go with white underwear for the game.
The game has a 6:30 p.m. start. Don't start drinking early; you may not make it to the second half. We're looking for fans who can give us 60 moderately sober minutes. Counting the ads and half-time show, that's four moderately sober hours.
Don't get up at 6 a.m., and ask your Mom is it time yet, as if this were Christmas. This goes for you kids, too. If you can't handle day-long stress, sleep in until 6 p.m.
During the game:
When the Steelers score, don't spike the dip. Just hand it to the host. Act like you've been to a Super Bowl party before.
No premature celebration. "Premature" means less than a six-touchdown lead with 9 seconds to go and the Steelers with the ball on the Seattle goal line.
If you're new to football, pick your spots, maybe during an ad, for your eye-rolling questions, such as "What's a down?" or "Who are they playing again?"
If you're hosting a Super Bowl party, provide a rubber room in case things go wrong or the game becomes too tense for your guests, such as a Steelers lead of less than 42 points.
Post-game
Be sure to think it through, and be aware of the rug quality, if you're tempted to douse your party host with Gatorade.
