The Blockhams in "LUCKY DRAWERS"
(Click the image to view full size)
We've all got our own gameday rituals and superstitions. And we all question them when the game doesn't turn out right. Why do we, the mere fans, look for strange ways to share some of the blame? Is it our own weird way of feeling like we're a part of the team?
What are your gameday superstitions? And did you forget to do any of them on Saturday?
OnThursday the Blockhams look to the bye week.
THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Tuesday here at MGoBlog,

Gotta love Pam Blockham...
Definitely hotter than Pam from The Office.

Sorry,
I wore the t-shirt that is for home games, not away games.
This is ALL MY FAULT.

wasn't wearing her gameday collar. She wasn't for Bama either. Those 2 are definitely on me.

I wasn't wearing my lucky "Darn Tough" socks.

It's been good to us at home, gotta figure something out for the roadies.

I am at that awkward age where I can't wear numbered jerseys, but I can't take afternoon naps yet, either. I finally folded to criticism on this-here blog and dressed like an old man alumnus. Had I kept the courage of my convictions and worn my UTL16-right at the game!- I believe that could have been the butterfly-flapping-its-wings that would have changed the luck that night. It would not have taken much luck to change the outcome.

I didn't have trailmix. I haven't got a care package with them in a while and the PX is out. I apologize but we are doomed til i receive some.

For many, many years, as I am sure many of us have, I have gone with a Michigan shirt of some sort every Saturday during the season, but since the kids entered the picture, they have had some Michigan accessory or apparel on for every game as well. It has worked quite well overall.
This Saturday was the first soccer practice for both of them, so they wore their uniforms instead and indeed, for much of the rest of the day, as they were that excited.
This one is on the Taylor Youth Soccer League and their rules about on-field gear, I am afraid, and also me for not thinking about this when I signed them up. Sorry, everyone.

I can probably understand not confiscating his shirt and burning it after the first loss, as you probably wanted to let him do it. But not burning after the SECOND game is totally on you.

Needs More Dicks.

I disagree. VIVA THE DICKS!
September 26th, 2012 at 6:47 PM ^

September 26th, 2012 at 7:32 PM ^
ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE KIND SIR!
September 26th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
