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'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.

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.

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.

I always microwave six blades of grass from the cemetery across the street, on high, for 2:10, and then bake them in a chicken pot pie, then eat the pie. After that, in front of a mirror I stole from a Best Western, I recite in my best Brando voice, while crying, the 2nd verse of Buster Poindexter's, "Hot Hot Hot." See people rocking -- Hear people chanting -- Feeling hot hot hot Keep up this spirit -- Come on let's do it -- Feeling hot hot hot It's in the air - Celebration time Music sweet - captivate your mind We have this party song - This fundamental jam So we go rum-bum-bum-bum Yeah we rum-bum-bum-bum Feeling hot hot hot -- Feeling hot hot hot - Oh Lord

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.

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....

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't watch the game. Yeah, yeah. I know. But, U-M has never won a "Big Game" I watched on TV since Bo's first win in the Rose Bowl. Michigan began its come back after I stopped watching that game. Since then, every "big game" seems to have been decided by whether or not I was watching. That includes 2006 against the Buckeyes where my neighbors were over to watch the game. For the record, I was at Epcot in 1997, and didn't watch the finale against OSU. Consequently, I will be doing everyone on this board a favor, and be doing chores, going to Mass, and having dinner with my in-laws. I figure this streak has to be penance for a miss spent youth.

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...

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.
