I won't be wearing my customized Michigan jersey this Saturday for the first time this season

i think the bigger question is why aren't you wearing it? Do you want us to lose?!?!?!?!? 

/s

This year I have worn the 2008 schedule shirt under my jersey (the shade of maize matches from undershirt to number on the jersey well), but last week I wore 2009 schedule shirt instead so I wont make that same mistake again.

....when we first got season tix, the first game we bought the program (the Horror); the second game we bought the program (Oregon).  Then we stopped Buying the Program.

Friends don't let friends buy programs.

I went the whole 1997 football season without a hair cut and wore the same t-shirt to all the games.  Even for the OSU game, I had it under my coat.  By time Thanksgiving rolled around, I was rockin' a tight 'fro.

My only superstition is to do ensure i do 4 shotguns before kick off. 

I'm breaking in a new shirt for the BG game, I'm wearing it to the stadium, weather permitting, under my Nike UM windbreaker. My biggest superstition is I never listen to the game on the radio before I watch in on TV, say if I'm running late to get home to watch it.  Bad Ju Ju.

Not superstitious

2006 Michigan Student shirt. Best year we had when I was at school, so I figure there has to be something good about it. The 2007 version is at the VERY VERY bottom of my storage.

The day before gameday, I wear my maize block M shirt. Then gameday, I wake up, put on my blue michigan shirt, and ride around blaring "the victors" on my cars system. I eat a pre-game meal of brats and potato. Then my brother comes over and we watch Denard dismantle the other team... But I'm not superstitious or anything...

 I wear my 2004 Michigan student shirt on gameday.

In 1996, I wore a Michigan flag as a cape to some games, not to others.  When I wore it, Michigan won.  When I didn't, Michigan lost.  Wore it during every game in '97.  Then I retired it.

I received a #32 jersey (Anthony Thomas) before the '98 season, and I would wear it on all gamedays (home or away).  I stopped when the Maize-out tradition began, and now wear a maize shirt to all home games.  We did, however, have a pretty good record when I wore that jersey, though, so for the ND game, since it wasn't at home, I put it on.  It had enough juice left in it to deliver a win in South Bend.  I'll wear it when I'm watching our other road games.

Got a big box of goodies from FansEdge today.  Hoping that if I wear the new shirt this week, it will pick up good juju.

My daughter was born in 2007 and her first game was The Horror which jinxed my good luck jersey.

<br>I fixed this problem by having a baby boy this April. We are undefeated since his arrival and so I think we'll keep him
<br>
<br>Meanwhile my jersey and any old superstitions went out the door with Bo and coach Carr.

I wear a white undershit with my authentic Charles Woodson '97 throwback and either shorts or jeans.

I live in San Diego so I don't really have to deviate from this due to weather situations.

I wore my beautiful Henne jersey to The Horror, but now I can't find the fucking thing, so I guess we will be cool against BGSU.

I've mellowed out only slightly over the years, but my wife almost refuses to watch Michigan games with me because I'm convinced that depending on where she sits in the room, the outcome of the game can swing wildly.   If we score a touchdown, "don't move, that seat's good luck for us."   The D gets gashed...."wait, did you move?!?"  

Yes, I can be a pain in the ass on football Saturdays.   I continue to make progress and even had neighbors over to watch the UConn game this year.  

A good friend and fellow UM grad is worse.  In '97 he showed up to watch the first game at a friend's house.  His friend was late getting back from the grocery store, so my friend broke in through a basement window to avoid missing the kickoff.   Obviously Michigan won that game.  For the rest of the year he went to that guy's house to watch the games and insisted on climbing through the basement window.

I just searched and found a Game Day Traditions thread.  If there's not already a separate Superstitions thread, someone should create one.   

blue underpants

with maize and blue to work each Friday before gameday.  If only they made maize and blue dress shoes...

I've started up a fresh batch of traditions since this year started. Broke alot of them last week since it was only UMass, but they are coming back this week.

They start early in the morning when my friend comes over to play the game on NCAA '11, always making sure M wins of course. Student section shirt every Saturday, although I wear it under my #2 away jersey during away games and will wear it under my maize sweatshirt/coat in the winter months. The shirt doesn't get washed until the team loses. At the game my friend pulls out his wolverine stuffed animal and everyone gives it a quick pet for good luck. When the band comes out we sing Varsity, although no one within 30 rows of us ever seems to join. Mr Spots on the way back after the game is a must as well.

They need to bring back the game day guides... we only started losing games when Punt and Counterpunt stopped getting published.

I've continued the rock the Michigan Mustache even after the UConn game. Totally forgot to shave it back down to just the stash this last weekend though, so I take full responsibility for the UMass scare. It won't happen again.

Assume the position. Much like the guy who tells his wife where to sit, I believe locational geometrics are crucial. Last year during the Notre Dame game when we fell behind, I assumed a very terrified I-can't-do-anything-except-lay-on-the-ground-on-top-of-a-pillow stance. Worked like a charm. I repeated it to much success this year.

That is some highly situational down-to-Notre-Dame-late juju. Mostly I'm comfortable in my Calvin Klein Classic ripoff style "Michigan Classic" grey T-shirt, made for one year only for the Michigan Classic Debate Camp. Much like Seinfeld's Wonderboy, though, its structural integrity is declining. Time to pony up for a hyperbaric T-shirt chamber.

So far, Michigan #5 and the Scoreboard Maize shirt underneath. Havent been washed, starting to get funky, but I only wear it for the game. Smells like beer and sweat, a fantastic mix...

Is that I got a bit frustrated with people who wore 2007 student t-shirts. Why would you bring that curse into another 1AA/Whatever game?

why do words always follow this phrase?

And, I do not care wut you wear to the game.  No one else cares either.  Call your mother, she may still give a fawk about whatever it is you do do.  (i said do do)

 

potato salad....the main course in any morans meal.

If we lose because you bastards didn't follow through on all your superstitions, them i'mma be pissed!!!

i'm debating wearing my BGSU hat (played @BGSU from '99-'01) with my Michigan jersey (authentic adidas #2) I'm thinkin' i'll get too many weird looks.

superstious, however i really enjoy wearing an old michigan football shirt with a big block 'M' on the back.  it is torn and tattered and faded but comfortable and i wore to the Big House the day we beat the bucknuts to go the rose bowl and win it for the national championship!
