    Default Superstitions

    Who has them and what are they. Personally, this year I don't read the Saturday paper. I always buy a game program home or away, and I wear the same jersey(actually I haven't washed it in three weeks) every game day. So I'm almost positive all this has helped the perfect record.

    On another note it pisses me off beyond belief when the away team stays in the locker room until after the national anthem is over. I was so glad that the only away game I attended this year (Minnesota). I was able to see the bison stand with pride on the sideline during the national anthem. What does the away team gain by not standing on the line like the home team? Complete disrespect!!!!!

    I've worn the same yellow Bison Nation shirt I've had since I was a freshman in college ('99).

    The National Anthem stuff doesn't make me angry at all. I guess I'll find other things to get mad about... like not being able to get 1 yd on 3 and 1.

    This is dictated by the home team. FWIW I agree with you.

    1. I don't make a prediction of the game
    2. I do the same routine every Saturday morning before the game. I put on the same clothes, down to the same pair of boxers, but they are all freshly washed.
    3. Haven't washed my jersey all season.
    4. I make sure I get a cut somewhere from the bus during tailgating, so far it has happened every game I've been in the bus.
    5. First shot to x-0(will be 10-0 this next weekend)

    I probably have smaller things I can't think of right now.

    The pregame is scripted down to the minute. Who, what, where, when, how. I'm about 99% certian on this one--I asked the question before.

    I've had the same pair of game day boxers (American Eagle camouflage) I've been wearing since the Mississippi Valley State game in 2007...Washed, of course.

    I also wear my Nike #11 authentic white to home games and my Nike #11 authentic green during away games.

    Any coincidence my selected pair of boxers is also American Eagle brand?

    I find most of my superstitions come about subconsciously. It ends up becoming conscious and I just prevent myself from changing things as the wins pile up lol
