Drinking is a sport too.

Besides, the TV, alcohol is the most important thing you need at the party. Whether your party is BYOB or you are generously providing the booze, make sure you have a lot. There's going to be a lot tears of sadness when the Patriots lose, you're going to need to bring out the big guns on this one.

Don't be afraid to start your party early. There's plenty of drinking games to be played. 11 AM sounds like a reasonable hour.
