I'm talking about if you show up a couple hours early or just as the game kicks off or you if you hammer back a few beverages in the parking lot or do you tailgate?

Pregame at George's and hit up a few tailgates afterwards.
First game of the year we grab a pre-pre-game lunch at George's and then head over to set up our tailgate at the stadium. Every other game we go straight to the tailgate.
For the past few years we have picked out a night game or two and all stick around after the game until the tailgate lot is empty before we leave. It is really fun to watch everything wind down and hang out with just our group.
Can't wait for this season.

I always try to get there early enough for the Bear Walk. Then it's hang out in the tailgate area with other Baylor fans waiting for them to open the gates. I always want to be inside early so I don't miss any pregame festivities: invocation, national anthem, running of the Baylor Line, etc.

Always at a friend's tailgate that is located between the lagoon and river right next to the river. If an 11am game, breakfast is cooked so I usually arrive no later than 7am to help set up and for pre-game breakfast.
If an afternoon or night game, I arrive around 9 or so.
I prefer being outdoors and spending as much time tailgating as possible before a game.
I also usually take a walk over to the Sic'Em365 tailgate for some 3 Nations adult beverages that is owned by a friend and frat brother of mine at Baylor, John Royer, and to say hello to Ashley, Brian, and Colt - in no particular order.
I am not a daily cigar smoker but I've had a tradition since the Floyd Casey tailgating days to smoke at least one cigar pregame. That started when we won after I did so and lost the next home game when I didn't. It brought some good luck when we went thru an extended home winning streak for a while but it certainly didn't help in 2017. I forged ahead anyway and haven't missed by tradition since McLane opened.

Typically Roll into town around noon on Thursday. Coordinate with caterers to make sure they know my tent # near Denny-Chimes. Play golf Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Friday afternoon I start to plan to attend some of the live concerts on campus (or at the amphitheater) and dinner at either the Half Shell, Chucks or Five. Come Saturday morning 7:00 am it's on and it's all damn day. Y'all have to be in the stadium an hour before kick-off though.
I distract myself from work by watching the game.
A few years ago The Waco Kid (me) would show up early on game day, watch the greatest offense in history and always toast to a win later that night.
It was amazing

Drive to Waco, meet for tail gate and/or lunch, socialize with old friends, file in about an hour before kickoff to get situated.
Catch a buzz.

We tailgate right by SicEm365. We start our tailgate anywhere between 4 hours before kick to 7 hours before kick. Look for a smoker trailer about 75 yards from SicEm365

-I roll up to park my car with Jerry Jeff's Navajo Rug on repeat, as loud as the speakers will crank.
-I begin my trek to SicEm 365 tailgate by starting at the opposite end of the Brazos Parking tailgate area; stopping to visit with my old fraternity brothers, then Redfish/Crash, then down the way to my Shrine buddies, then down the way again to some college friends, over to the RV area for a minute, and finally arrive at SE365. Stay there and chat up folks for a few hours, intermittently revisiting the same groups I ran by first.
-Then it's across the street to the lagoon where I make the final descent into a good buzz and one last tailgate stop of more fraternity brothers before I head to the stadium. Every game. Same Ritual.
