So we all know how much our team relies on things like helmets facing the correct direction, etc. for their success...

Well, after the Packers win, I am afraid I have to admit I might have done a terrible thing.

For the first time this season, I buzzed most of the hair off my head (my typical "easy maintenance" buzzcut) and cleaned up the ol' neckbeard/facial hair. I had stopped myself from doing this in previous weeks, afraid to upset the balance of what the Panthers were accomplishing, but I figured "What the heck? We are at the halfway point and are finding ways to hang on in close games. We're sitting pretty in the NFC right now, etc. etc. etc." Plus, I was looking pretty damned shaggy and not very presentable.

But now the realization has been creeping up on me ever since that I might have done a terrible thing. Add on top of this that I might not be at home to tune in for the first part of the game on Sunday vs. Tennessee. A family obligation will have me getting home just before the game, or an hour or so into it.

Now, grant you, it will at least be on the radio. But I haven't missed watching a live game in a loooong time.

Someone has to pick up my slack this week and start a new superstition for themselves, so that I may rest easy that I have not channeled the wrong energies, nor that my Panthers will be on the receiving end of said energies.

So I guess I am saying "sorry!" in advance, just in case...

It is kinda cute you think that your ju-ju has had something to do with their current win streak.

I assure you, you have nothing to worry about.

I however be wearing my exact same outfit I have for every game, eating the exact same food and same beer I have done all year. In addition I will make sure I follow the proper seat rotation in my living room based on score and hat/rally cap adjustments as needed to alter the events as I propel this team to 9-0...as I have done all along with my efforts.

Yesterday my wife cooked a post roast- 1st time this season. Oh well. An 8-1 start isn't bad.

She didn't cook it on a Sunday...doesn't count...WE'RE ALL CLEAR!!!!

Thanks for the bad juju......now I've got to eat a whole chicken to set things right.  KFC original receipe, here I come.   Days like today I really miss having a Bojangles nearby.

It's ok, I shaved my beard before the Seattle game.  You see what happened there.

I haven't been friend zoned this week yet...I may have to share the blame as well.

Don't worry fellas, my Steph Curry's will be on come gametime. Game day uniform still yet to be washed.

We'll be fine!

My ratty-ass Stewart jersey is hanging proudly on the coatrack, and has yet to let us down. I refuse to allow my wife wash the luck out of it! She even tried to trick me by saying that febreeze is actually very lucky, but I did'nt fall for it.

Well...I'll have to keep wearing my blue Cam jersey...and I guess I'll have to order to Chicken Supreme combos just two make sure these bad vibes to reach the team.

No worries I'm still growing my game winning beard. No neck beard because we defeated the Neck Beard.

This team doesn't care about bad ju-ju......they make their own ju-ju....and is the good kind.

Aren't you just eating sh!t at this point?

[Chaos]

Speaking of SCP, where's his weekly smack thread?  Because of his helmet phenomenon, the universe apparently pays more attention to him. 

Without his thread, we are doomed! 

[O-Ther]

As long as Ron keeps getting the bacon jam at Dogwood every week, Cam keeps being the last one in the meeting room, and SCP's helmet points toward BOA, us mere mortals are golden.

Thine sins are unforgivable my son. Go thine way and accept thine damnation and the revocation of thine fan card. 

Despair and fear the Dark Lord Kuechly, for he cometh for thine soul for jeopardizing the success of the Black Cats!

Never mind this juju thing, y'all.

7 games I did not watch because I was working (I work pretty much every weekend). We won all 7.

Last Sunday I was at work and said, "Fug it, gonna watch an illegal stream. There's no use in having a team who always wins if I don't watch." So, I watched and we won.

There's no such thing as juju, but there is a such thing as pounding and our team's ability to keep doing that.
