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

a dirty 30 of PBR for the ND game. Just procured another.
October 8th, 2010 at 11:52 PM ^
Would you like to sit on a porch tomorrow and tell Spartan fans to get off our lawn? Clint Eastwood is the only reason why I started drinking PBR.

I have a whole pregame ritual, nothing crazy, just don't like to mess with my undefeated streak at the Big House.
October 8th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
I've worn the same shirt, drank the same beer and eaten the same footlong from Subway for all 5 games. I don't really like the beer or sandwich that much, but pretty much have to keep it going.
October 8th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
+1 for taking one for the team
October 8th, 2010 at 6:00 PM ^
Beer? Sandwich?
Keystone?
Meatball?
October 8th, 2010 at 6:04 PM ^
Beer is Rolling Rock. I like it, but I would definitely be switching it up normally.
Sandwich is turkey on monterey cheddar bread.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
I'll go partake of the same on Saturday.
October 8th, 2010 at 5:56 PM ^
I'm undefeated wearing my blue jersey for home games and my white jersey for away games. The only game that I didn't have my hat was for the UMass game.
October 8th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
October 8th, 2010 at 6:03 PM ^
I always play the current opponent of the week in NCAA and always beat them (On Heisman. Don't think that I cheat haha).
It's not necessarily superstitious but it calms my nerves quite a bit when I can have control over the outcome.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:34 PM ^
I won 42-21 this week
October 8th, 2010 at 8:28 PM ^
October 8th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
They got two late touchdowns and a damn onside kick.
October 8th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
My traditional tailgate beverage: 40 of King Cobra and my vintage 2003 season shirt.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:00 PM ^
My superstition is to watch it on TV with the sound off... unless it becomes a blowout, then I turn the sound back up.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
...the spirit of Lloyd Brady's great grandfather, who (as many of you know), played for the 1879 Michigan team:

old timey Lloyd ftw!
October 8th, 2010 at 6:01 PM ^
October 8th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
but now I have that goddamn song in my head, and am contemplating -1ing you for that...
October 8th, 2010 at 6:01 PM ^
I dont think I shoudl tell u what i did last week before the game for good luck, but it worked so im definitely doing it again.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:03 PM ^
prepared in my house, or under my own supervision (kind of inverse Kosher?) And I will be wearing my Shoelace t, which got me through last week's nailbiter. Also something about watching at home and on my computer screen, sometimes having to send my daughter out of the room. In part I do worry (irrationally) that she and my wife could jinx the playmaking, but also my daughter gets frightened when I start screaming. Despite this she has still developed an allegiance to Michigan, so I am convinced I'm not a complete ogre in her eyes.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:03 PM ^
I also haven't shaved since the season started.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:03 PM ^
Hauling a few kegs of natty ice and a flatbed full of used couches out to cedar village just to get things started.
Have to look out for little bro....
October 8th, 2010 at 6:06 PM ^
and a wizard hat--seems to have worked with Roundtree.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:07 PM ^
The same T-shirt and windbreaker. Also, this year I've hung them on the closet door the night before. I think I'm going to keep that going.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
I'll be enjoying my Friday night pre-game cigar and scotch....because I don't want to jinx the game tomorrow....yeah, that's right.....that's precisely the reason I'm doing that.....
October 8th, 2010 at 6:51 PM ^
... the suffering we true Blue fans must go through.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
I had a shirt that I wore during the whole 2006 season to every game. We won all those games. I lost it before OSU. I wanted to personally apologize for how the program has struggled since. The Horror is entirely my fault, as well as our recent struggles. However, this season so far, I have a new shirt with good juju, and will be wearing it until it wears off.
Also, I have not shaved since the season began, and that will continue until a loss or a NC. The girlfriend's not a big fan, but ya know, this is Michigan football. There are always other girls.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
Wear my 2010 student shirt, still unwashed, and listen to AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock" Live version right before I leave for the game.
Then, it's game time, where I yell like mad and lose my voice. That about covers it.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
I'm rocking my 2010 football season beard. i won't shave it down until we lose a game.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
You're not shaving this year?
That goes for both of you
October 8th, 2010 at 10:40 PM ^
On the record: If we run the table this year and win the NC, I will grow allow the beard to grow until next season, even if it goes down to my waist.
You can hold me to that.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
Started growing a beard a week before the UCONN game and wont shave until they lose.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:26 PM ^
I made a Go Blue sign when I was in Cadets that is kinda like the Go Blue banner the players run under, and I always touch it before the game. Some times I forget/can't and Michigan tends to struggle (last week, my bad). I will not forget tomorrow.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
'nuff said.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
Same underwear. Unwashed since uconn
October 8th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
eew.
October 9th, 2010 at 12:26 AM ^
I tried this strategy, but ended up shitting my pants three times during the nd game. Now the girlfriend makes me watch the games naked while standing on a spread of newspapers.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
instead of the Blue one ever since the 2nd half of the UConn game. I'm not stopping until a loss. Touch my M flag with my right hand during kickoff (I have one hanging on my wall). Most important: NEVER cross my feet during a game while. NEVER.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:40 PM ^
and my Rowdy the Wolverine puppet , along with some Yuengling.
I hope that combo works.
October 8th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
October 8th, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
around the tv, including:
UofM helmet that shouts GO BLUE or plays The Victors when you throw
Mini Christmas tree with yellow/blue M block lights and my 1997 season tickets as ornaments
Collection of big ten mini helmets (in order of play this season)
Michigan teddy bear with Michigan sweater
Autographed 1997 National Champs Football signed by Charles Woodson

from the IU game, untouched because I drank a bottle of wine (which amazingly enough gave me sound judgement about starting on the beer) instead, but you guys are getting me wondering maybe I should go buy me that bottle of wine again...
October 8th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
If you don't, and we lose, the forgiveness will not probably ever occur.
October 8th, 2010 at 7:00 PM ^
Glad to see I'm not the only one playoff-bearding it for the season. No trim & no haircut until we lose - and given that I was already a few weeks w/o either before the season began, it's getting a bit wild by now.
