The Blockhams in "LUCKY DRAWERS"

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,
and at least every Thursday on its official home page.  Also, don't forget to
check out Friday Roughs, a spontaneous low-end comic based on trending
Michigan events, available on Twitter and Facebook every Friday.

Maize cardigan with two blue stripes on the sleeve. White dress shirt. Block M tie. Khaki shorts. Long story how each became a part of the game day outfit. I'm only comfortable at about one game a year. That sweater is HOT early in the year, and, man those shorts can be cold in November.
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.

"What are your gameday superstitions? And did you forget to do any of them on Saturday?"

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.
