what do you do to get hype/ready for the game on the day of?
i personally usually go see a girl to get all the sexuallythings off my mind. after that i sit down and eat subway or something semi healthy. then i head home grab the remaining **** i need, my pod, etc. i go out to the locker room, take a nice dump, then proceed to listen to mostly hard rock/metal, then some really smooth techno or chill just w.e also take a 5 hour energy i love just feeling a surge of adrenaline the whole game anything to grasp that feeling is worth it.

Interesting pre game activities.
It's been a long time since I played, but my pregame preparation was completely different. I was a very "mellow" player even though I started at Lber in addition to O line. To me, I tried to keep every thing very calm. No motivational music. No adrenaline rush. No yelling and screaming in the locker room or when I ran out on the field. I spent the hours between school and the game eating a pregame meal and reviewing the scouting report to make sure I had my assignments down pat. I never was interested in delivering a fierce tackle; I just wanted to make the tackle if my assignment put me in position to do so. If I hit someone really hard, it didn't make any difference to me. I had a very business-like, unemotional approach to the game from what I remember. Call it a quiet confidence that if each of us on the team simply did our assignment, we would win the game. Even after we won state, I was no doubt happy, but didn't jump around a lot and celebrate.
What's interesting is that when I played, most of the kids on the team approached the game the same way I did. I wonder if all the hype and trash talking of the pros has changed the ways kids in high school now approach the game. A player makes a big hit on a tackle and then jumps around like its the first and last big hit they have ever made and will ever make. Not saying it's wrong now; just different from when I played. I guess I subscribed to the "act like you've been there before and will be there again" theory.

about 30minute before the game after the drills and stuff i just sit down and relax really, clear my mind and focus on the game but im strickly talking like a an hour or so and beyond before the game. when i make a tackle i jut smile get up and repeat, if i get a safety or a big play then thats different.

Man, that is a great Pre-Game Mindset.

Everybody is different, but I was always like a storm building. As the time grew nearer, the more intense I became. Plus, it never failed, I would have to go puke. I would get so psyched up that nothing would stay down. I wasn't afraid of my opponent. I was just reved up so high that my stomach would knot up.
I'd listen to some Metallica or something, the day of. The night before, I would watch The Program or one of my NFL Crunch Course videos (anybody remember those?).
I would usually pray a lot. To keep my teammates safe from injury and for us all to play our very best.
Football was a physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual experience for me!!!
I sure do miss it.
