...that you have found yourself engaging in to keep this winning basketball season going?

I'll start (and may add a few more later):

I always post on the mikesyracuse1 Line thread AND the official game thread BEFORE the start of the game.

I waver between wearing an A & M shirt or not. It hasn't seemed to matter.

It's unlucky to be superstitious.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

Bourbon.

For every Aggie game. For every Sport.

Wait that's not superstition, that's a requirement

Every time I have had to work a concert at work, Ags have won, because I don't get to see the whole thing. Tonight, 3rd Eye Blind is playing and I have to work.

Hopefully this holds.

When the team is playing poorly, I turn off the television, and only keep track by internet. Last night, I even turned off the laptop and took a shower. When I came back, we were up 6.

I do that as well. When Walsh banked in the 3 I didn't turn it back on until it was 58-53

Ditto for me. Any time we are down 6, I turn the channel. Even it's only to Fox News channel. Next For News commercial break, I will go back and check (and repeat if necessary.)

I have watched this season silently. No "yessss" "no no you idiot". "What are you thinking Williams! Or even "come on ref that's a foul!!"

Just calm and quiet. I'm getting pretty superstitious about it.

Naw. I only drink during Aggie games and the occasional offseason Saturday.

Otherwise it's Topo Chico even at HH with clients.

My other superstitious rituals:

1. Never watch game completely live - but record and take care of kids, etc. while coming back to it...
2. Wear same Aggie shirt combo I wore at last win (washing them is fine between games
3. Have my beer ready - but only get to take sips after a good play by the Aggies - also after up by double digits, up at the half, winning 4 minute segments. No drinking allowed when opponent on a run until we break it.

Superstitious rituals seem to help calm me when i am nervous about a game.

I have not been as anxious about a game as I am about this first round matchup with Penn State.

So - i will add another - and recall that on game days I keep the volume on the TV at 12 or 24 (multiple of 12) all day long.

BTHO Penn State tonight!!!
