Gameday Rituals or Superstitions

[Delg8tor]

Who has them and what are they?
I tend to pick a shirt and hat from my collection (or buy a new one) prior to the first game of the season and stick with it throughout. I also text back and forth with my Gator lovin dad throughout the game. Sort of a private "chat box".
That being said I made a change with about ten minutes left in the Vol game. I had been texting with pop and also chatting it up in the chat box down below when I suddenly had to just quit it all. I jumped up, grabbed a different hat, closed the laptop, put down the iPhone, and changed seats from my chair and moved to the couch. The rest as they say is history! We scored shortly after and haven't looked back since. I am sticking with the hat and staying out of the chat box for the foreseeable future.
Of course we all know it's unreasonable to think that anything we do or wear during a game has anything to do with the outcome. But I like to think of it like the butterfly affect.
How about you?

As long as we are winning, I don't change my underwear.

All of my rituals were crushed by WM. That said, I've worn the same old t-shirt every game this year. It's white with "Florida" written in blue. It'll be on tonight, as well.

I always put my flag out on the front of the house the minute I wake up. I always wear my Gator Boxers, they are in the dryer now. I try to wear a color shirt that's the same as the uniforms. Anyone know our unis today?

I have a Gator helmet that I got while my mom worked for the Bull Gators. It's been signed by many players from the mid '90s. Danny, Chris D, Hanks and a few others. The last signature is on the front and it's the largest signature from one Mr. E. Smith when he returned to Gainesville to graduate. If I'm not at the game, that helmet goes with me to wherever I watch and it is tradition that everyone at the viewing party touches it just before kick off for luck.

I look for the game on guide and set DVR for record. I always choose to add the 30 minute extension.

I wake up and take a sh** naked. No clothing on whatsoever. Then I walk to the fridge in the garage and grab a beer that I consume with ease. Then I wipe and go get dressed for the day.

That's pretty awesome!

Is that the only thing that gets touched before kickoff?

Was it really signed by Danny or was it actually signed by Swampy?

Exactly, and that happens far too often. I hate the sharts.
