Are you using any superstitious voodoo for tomorrow's game?

Submitted by Firstbase on

I think I'm gonna wear 'xactly what I wore last week during Denard's Big Game against IU and fix the same beans and rice dish.

Might even have the same kind of beer if someone bends my arm. 

Plus, during the game I'll be strategically stabbing a Sparty voodoo doll at critical moments.

I wear a white undershirt, my authentic Charles Woodson '97 jersey, khaki shorts, and sandals while partaking of whatever beer is the 2.75 special of the day at PB Bar & Grill in San Diego.
 

From this I will not diverge.

I ref'd a couple soccer games and rushed home to watch the game. Problem was I forgot to hang out my M flag. So every Saturday since I ref a couple games and rush home without hanging out my flag. The way I see it we should be good at least until the end of the month. Then I am going to need a bunch of you to come up to Saginaw and play a couple of soccer games on Saturday's. Don't worry I'll arrange for beer pizza and a 20ft screen to watch the game on.

Last year for the Iowa night game a couple of my buddies and I got an enormous inflatable screen to watch the game on.  It was unreal.  We brought all of our couches on to the front lawn and watched the game in a cold Ann Arbor night.  Highly recomended.  You will get a few stragglers walking down the sidewalk, but aren't games always more fun with random, overly drunk people you have never met before?

This isn't the actual company we used, I don't believe, but a similar one...might I suggest for the PSU game?

I was wearing the 2009 student season shirt for all of the home games. Now that we have reached 5-0 and are facing our first real test of the Big Ten season, it's time for me to break out the 2010 shirt. Today I wore the '09, tomorrow I wear the '10, thus symbolizing the transformation of the team and of course the rebirth of Denard, aka Dreadlock Jesus.

completely understands his role tomorrow. He knows that his older brother and I expect him to sit in his seat at the Big House and not watch the game (by looking down at his feet) if Michigan is not playing well on offense or defense at any point. This behavior has developed over many seasons and he employs it willingly and to great effect. Of course he would rather actually watch the game but he knows that no one individual is greater then the team, the team, the team.

at 12 midnight every Friday night before game day called "Midnight Victors." I plug my volume output cord attached to my desktop speakers to my Ipod and turn the volume up to max and chant "The Victors" as it plays out loud and booms through my living room. I started this in 2004 and 6 years later I'm still doing it. It's one of my main Michigan traditions at home.

Ever since the Brock Mealer shirts became available I have worn mine, along with my dark blue hat...always backwards.

I don't think I will stop wearing the shirt even if we lose, because even if our team doesn't perform well ON the field, that shirt will always remind me how well they perform OFF the field...

- I always wear yellow on Fridays to work, and yellow on Saturdays. Nothing specific, I just rotate through whichever of my many yellow t-shirts are clean. I got shit from my co-workers last week for wearing yellow the day before OU-Texas, and I just shrugged.

- My significant other does not shave on Fridays and won't cut his hair. I've been bothering him for weeks about getting a haircut and it always comes down to it being Friday and him saying, "Well, I can't get a haircut now, gameday's tomorrow."

- We always get tacos after watching the game. Last year, we got them from Taco Bell and this year we wanted to try something new since there's a plethora of taco establishments here in Norman. We've decided on Taco Mayo; their 3-cheese quesadillas are magic.

being the little brother in the family it's my duty to slap myself up the head to remind myself what it is to be the little brother.  take the beating and accept it then cackle with knowing glee...

Man, I gotta say I'm with the army of mgobearders, but my beard comes with a story.  Last year I cut my hair and shaved/trimmed my facial hair before Michigan State.  This year I unknowingly followed the same pattern except I'm determined to keep it growing until we lose.  I've never been a superstitious person, but if we win today I may never shave again...

I'm normally a superstitious person, much to my father's disappointment, but I'm switching things up today (ie made biscuits instead of waffles, wearing a different shirt) and I'm telling myself it's ok because it's the first home game of the Big10 season. To add to the good luck, I re-dyed my hair blue like I did before the UConn game, but it had started to fade by week two and I am telling myself restoring the electric blue hair means I am restoring good things.

it's weird how when you practice voodoo rituals before a game they say you're just superstitious and maybe a little magical. But then if your team loses they say you're not magical at all.  You're a just a plain ol' goat killer. It's really a fine line.
