Do you build Cowboy football shrines on game days at home?

This is a thing I have done since the 1960s..

On game day I build a Shrine next to the TV with Cowboy stuff to chase away the gremlins. How about you guys? Hats tee shirts..game programs keychain..you name it. I have a strict ritual that I celebrate 24 hrs then remove until next game on Sunday or whatever day.

I know I am a homer but so what. For years it worked. What I failed to realize was my good luck voodoo was Tom Landry and Roger Staubach.

Yikes.

I have many collectables and autographed footballs and Jerseys but keep them in my man cave. When it comes to watching the game, no rituals just one rule, Leave me alone. lol

year round.
walk in closet in my house i turned into a mini cave with all my stuff....and i have my janitor cave at work thats a shrine as well.
i think of myself as a keeper of the flame.

i will start a new tradition on game day using some of my mini-helmets....setting them out on opposite ends of my tv.
did that for the draft.....i credit my mel renfro and everson walls mini helmets for micah parsons and the rest of our defensive haul.

Maybe we need a voodoo of Jethro. I’ve tried about everything else. Thanks for the idea.

Understood. Seems like lots of potenial for running around. I used to love the original football board game that vibrated the teams after you lined them up. Hiding that fuzzy ball on a player was always an adventure. Then it would fall out. Zeke Reminded me of that last year when he was fumbling so much.
