2015 Football Gameday Superstitions Thread

Submitted by UMAmaizinBlue on

With the kickoff to the 2015 season mere hours away, I started thinking about the superstitions I have on gamedays. I've listed old ones I try to do every gameday and a "new" superstition I've started for this year.

 

Old

  • "Like" every Facebook status of my friends who post anything Michigan related, from the simple "Go Blue!" to pictures to the lyrics of "Varsity".
  • For home games, I must be in my seat before kickoff, and no bathroom breaks until halftime, and only if it's dire. (This is less of a superstition and more good fandom/my stubbornness.)
  • Do not wear the color(s) of the team we're playing at all (not even underwear).

"New"

  • Speaking of underwear, I've switched to a new pair of lucky boxers - they are, of course, maize and blue.

 

What are all your 2015 gameday superstitions? Any new ones? What about your traditional superstitions? List them below, from the normal to the weird.

I never wash my jersey all season, unless we're losing a bunch, then I'll do it to reset the ju-ju. 

I used to place a flag out on Friday night on my front porch and leave it up until Sunday night, win or lose. I quit doing that last year. :(

EDIT: Oh, and change my MGo avatar every year before the season starts.

but it says there's 20 mph winds in Salt Lake City right now. Goes down to around 15 at game time. I'm not familiar with the stadium, will high winds affect the game at all? Not sure if it matters just thought that was a lot of wind.

Guinness

Oberon

Budweiser or Bud Light

Labatt's

Early Times Bourbon, neat (ususally drink at very end of game, just as clock runs out)
