Any personal superstitions?

[UNIChippewa]

Is anybody else here besides me fairly superstitious when it comes to their favorite sports teams, and is anybody else going to do (or not do) something because they think it will hurt the team's chances?

As for me, I left for my flight to Oklahoma City at 5 am local time Thursday morning, and since I was traveling light I didn't bother to bring my razor or shaving cream, so it's been since last Wednesday since I shaved.

Since we won both Thursday and Saturday, I'm not planning on shaving again until our next loss, which hopefully won't be for a long time. Thankfully, I already have a goatee so I can pull it off reasonably well without looking ridiculous.

Anybody else got any personal superstitions?

I've worn the same shirt and sweatshirt since the start of the MVC tournament. I also had been at Mulligans for the Wisconsin, Georgetown, and Purdue NCAA tournament games so I decided I was going to do something different this year!

During the MVC tournament I was at Mulligans in the exact same seat at the bar every game.

I am actually very superstitious when it comes to my favorite sports teams.

One - one of my dogs must be in their kennel while UNI plays.

I don't really remember how it started. He was kenneled for the ODU game, but out for Evansville. He was in for all of the MVC tournament except the earliest moments of the title game (when we were struggling a little). I kenneled him then, the game turned around, and he's been in for every UNI game since.

The Game in Urbandale. Will not step foot into that place while UNI basketball is playing. We are 2-2 when I am there. Don't like the odds.

Absolutely....never go to ANY UNI game or watch away games without my lucky UNI earrings I've had for 15 yrs...I've even thought they were lost....only to have them mysteriously turn up!

I never watch UNI basketball without having at least 8 beers by the end of the first half. If I have any less, it's over.

got the O'Rear (formerly a Stout) Jersey on sale for $10 bucks and then shaved half my beard to get the horrendous but awesome mutton chops. Keeping them until the season is over.

Re: Any personal superstitions?

Oh my god... I'm glad I'm not the only freak out there that has superstitions...

Here are mine...
1) Must wear exact same UNI pull-over every game since start of Arch Madness
2) Must have lucky "Toads" coaster in right hand pocket of said UNI pull-over
3) Must rub said Toads coaster for luck throughout game
4) Must look at clock on game day when it changes to 11:11am.

I have seriously done all these things since the first game of Arch Madness... I have some others, but I might be committed if I mention them on here...

If I am conscious of the game (football season, the Kansas game) I fly my father's UNI flag from the front porch. During football season I wear the same clothes every Saturday.

I have some good Karma for all Panther fans. The purple and gold tulips outside our kitchen window started to bloom this week!

Re: Any personal superstitions?

I have a lucky tee I wear. Since the tourney has started my wife and I stop at MacDonald's then she watches the game on TV and I go to the computer room and listen to the game on the radio. The last time I did not wear my lucky shirt Evansville beat us.
