Drinking Games (aka "How to make watching the 2011 Buckeyes Tolerable")

In years past, nothing beat getting together with friends on a Saturday afternoon (or evening), having a few beers, and watching the Buckeyes play. Unfortunately, I fear we may need to come up with more creative mechanisms to keep the game interesting and the mood light.

That said, I am trying to devise a 2011 Buckeyes drinking game to make things more tolerable. Here's some of the rules I am considering:

Every time the Buckeyes run off-tackle on first down, Drink
Every time Shugarts false starts: Shot for everyone
At the beginning of the game, someone is named the QB. Each time Ohio State gets sacked = QB does a shot. The QB then names a new QB starting next play.
At the end of each half, everyone bongs one beer for each timeout Ohio State has left.

I need some help coming up with all the rules; I am hoping to have something ready before the next game.

This sounds like a splendid idea.

You could add the following scenarios:

-Wildly inaccurate pass thrown

-Fickell shown on TV looking like he's having an OBE

-If they show Bollman on TV, anyone who doesn't make a walrus noise must take a shot

-If Bauserman comes in, the current designated QB in your game must drink after each play until he gets to name a new QB per your rules

Class of 2010.

Take a shot for every 3 and out
10 second beer chug for each time the announcer mentions Tress
20 second beer chug for each time the announcer mentions improper benefits
Jager Bombs for BauserBombs!!

I would drop your first rule as running off tackle isn't always a bad idea.

Keep the walrus rule, the sack rule, and the time out rule.

I would add everybody takes one drink for any false start and if it is Shugarts then it becomes a shot.

If Bauserman comes in and completes a pass more than 10 yards from the line of scrimmage everybody must fall to their knees and say one Hail Mary (as thanks for the long completion) and drink one Ohio Old Fashioned (In celebration of our QB, the drink is just bourbon with bitters: which would be an accurate way to describe me when Joe gets on the field).

This is a drinking game I will definitely have to play.

If Vrabel punches Bollman. Drink until you pass out.... In celebration.

OK, How about these revised rules:

At the beginning of the game, everyone shotguns a beer. Last to finish is named the QB. Before each play, QB announces what the play will be (obvious 4D punting and FG plays excluded). If correct, the QB makes someone else drink (predicable play calling should give the QB some power!)
Each time Ohio State gets sacked = QB does a shot. The QB then names a new QB starting next play.
Each time a pass is wildly overthrown, everyone must yell "Bauserbomb!" and take a drink. Last to do so must do a shot instead, with QB
Every time Jim Bollman is shown on TV, everyone must put their hand to their mouth, simulating Walrus tusks, yell "OY, OY, OY!" and take a drink. Last to finish also does a shot.
Every time an announcer mentions improper benefits, sanctions, etc. everyone (except QB) must take a drink, slap the QB (lightly, ya know on the arm or back or something, NOT across their face) and yell "TATTOO'ED!". Last to complete does a shot with the QB
Every time Ohio state has a false start, everyone takes a drink. Shugarts false starts = Shot for everyone
Everyone drinks for each 3 and out.
At the end of each half, everyone bongs one beer for each timeout Ohio State has left.
