theres little things, such as not washing my jersey when we win, or sitting in the same spot/position when a big play happens.

but one i find myself doing is every sunday morning when i wake up to my alarm going off, i sit up and start singing the "happy go sunday" song, we always win. the only problem is im so excited for the game i wake up 20 minutes early before and we end up losing/ =(

If I'm going to a Falcons game, I always go to the CNN Center and get a huge Sierra Nevada on draft. I then go down to the hell hole parking lot to tailgate under the parking lot. I love my team, but our tailgating is lacking in many ways. That's my regular ritual for going to a game.

When at home, I usually try to get a good mountain bike ride in 3 hours before KO, and then I'll usually have several Kona Longboard Pale Ale's, and I usually stand up for most of the game, walking around snacking on chips and salsa. Doesn't always work, but the beer is good and I usually get a huge buzz on.

I have a Panthers neon light that hangs in the front window, first thing I do on gameday is turn it on, and it doesnt get shut off until I turn in for the night. I am also one of them people that do not wash my jersey with a win. This year, I have been wearing the same color jersey the team is, that doesnt seem to be working..This year too I bought the kids & wife new Panther gear. Guess its time to find them receipts...

:lol:

The Cali Cat Pack had a meeting and decided that this season we wouldn't be superstitious. I mean it never was anything out of the ordinary but it would involve us not wearing the same player's jersey and or color on the same day, we all had to be present at kickoff, no beer until kickoff, one of us had to drink Henessey only, 2 of us had to go outside for "a bowl" during halftime and stuff like that.

But, given our current situation, we are slowing going back to those rituals. They worked fine for us last year.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
