Game day superstition?

[Hockey Guy]

Got my 2.5 lbs. of wings all ready to go into the air fryer. Marinated them in a honey/garlic sauce then pat dried them & coated with baking powder infused with my spice concoction & put in the fridge to even dry a little more so they'll come out nice & crispy. They're gonna be epic just like the game.

Also cut up my meat & cheese for the tray as well as some strawberries for the festivities.

Lots of brews in the beer fridge too.

You had me at wings.

I'm saving my world famous dry garlic ribs(I have 6 lbs. in the freezer) & bacon wrapped scallops for my Superb Owl party.

I always celebrate with food, lol, the only way I know how.

 

[BlueBlood]

None! I refuse to believe it has anything to do with us at home. Only fans that can affect the game are at the Stadium.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my "crowd favorite" homemade teriyaki meatballs.

They get across the board 5* reviews on Yelp.

I’d love to be able to cook like that. Between my daughters track and my sons football training, I’m lucky if I can dump a bunch oh shit in an Insta-Pot and turn it on.

Yeah, I go all out.

I find that my various items of schwag have intermittent mojo powers. For the longest time I relied on the juju of a long sleeved seahawks t-shirt I got free with a subscription to Sports Illustrated. Its magic has faded over the years so I'm reluctant to trust it. Basically I go to the drawer of schwag and wait for one (or more) of them to "speak" to me.

Went with the ancient sports illustrated t shirt. The force is strong with this one!

Go Seahawks!

I've followed the Hawks since 1977. Been through most of the ups and downs of this team.

I've tried many rituals to help the team win or at least not lose too badly. Sitting in my lucky spot on the couch. Wearing my old Hawks shirt. Even patting our white cat twice before games. Then there's a thing I do with a lucky spoon that I won't go into.

Regardless, the results have been... well, as you know, mixed.

Then today it hit me. The SB is on my birthday!

This is either a very good omen or it's the end of the franchise as we know it.

Either way I can honestly say whatever happens two Sundays from now - it's my fault.

So you're welcome... or I'm terribly sorry.

The only superstition I have is that ALL SEASON LONG, I never watched a game LIVE (I have NFL+ and watch the game replays).

And that strategy has worked out for me for the most part.

Wouldn't dare change things up now.

Waste Management Tournament. I will watch until I feel it is time to leave and get to the crib I want to watch the game in. I am all in. DAnce while you can. I almost lost my dancing skills last year. You are gonna be fine.

I'm not SUPER stitious. I'm just a little stitious.

 

[12ish]

I've only been a fan since the 07 season. so all the bad mojo from the sb against the Steelers has no effect on me. cause who knows what that would've done to me if I were a fan then. I'm still superstitious from 49, even though I know it makes no sense. it actually makes more sense for the hawks to vanquish that demon. both playoff games, I was so nervous, wondering if we were like that Panthers team that lost to Arizona on their way to the super bowl. idky. but they should easily win this game. should be like the broncos/panthers in 50. isn't gonna stop me from stressing out already.

 

[Timberhawk]

Funny question because I really believe that no matter what I do, unless I am at the game then I know I have to scream my Fanny off at the right times, but other than that I know I have no control over any of it. But do I really???? I love the Hawks so much I just can’t take that chance. So I guess I am. So weird I suppose. But true.

I was in the Rams locker room the other year and I hexed it with my other Hawk friend who was on the biz trip with me. We did Hawk dances and all kinds of stuff. It didn’t work but we tried. Or maybe it did work it was just delayed a year or so??? Hmm.

I’ve had many superstitions related to the Seahawks over my 50 year career.

Funny thing, every one I’ve ever had became nullified by something.

Hang a 12 flag every GameDay
Wear a certain jersey, t-shirt, or hat
Eat a certain thing
Drink something specific

Eventually they all fail at some point, so they get retired.

No current superstition

To answer the OP's title question, not only am I not superstitious at all, I like to mock those who are, and a lifetime of doing so hasn't resulted in even a single case of that mocking coming back to bite me that I can recall, further evidence that there is no such thing as actual superstition, just biased fear-based beliefs in people.

My bro gave me a new jersey midseason. We haven't lost since and I haven't washed it.

Haven't shaved or got a haircut since the beginning of playoffs.

I'm not superstitious, but I'm also not crazy.

It's not crazy if it works.
