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

Basement webcam on game days.

I think Prescott just threw a pick here.

BTW, you bros have an open invitation to the basement any game you like. I already cleared it with my mom and I have extra flags.

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
I think all the wives GFs and distant females know better than to be around during a game. Holiday dinners are iffy anymore. Never used to be like that.

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.
everyone in the family has to wear a cowboys uniform of their favorite players (or I chose their favorite player). assigned seating.

My wife is major back luck for the Cowboys. Football season is the only time I hand her my credit card and ask her to go shopping. Dallas beating Detroit like a rag doll only for Det to come back and win..... That was her. lol

After 25 years you'd think it would work.
Hardy chap you are, mate! Hardy!

I have my autographed helmets and footballs in my cave year round, surrounding my 75 inch watching screen. Troy, Randy, Emmitt, Big Cat, Teague, Walls, Downs etc.....I gave my Deion football away because I'm not a fan. I wish I had a Landry golf club cover to add to it.

I never really have done a shrine, per se. I do always get a 6er of Shiner Bock and make some green chili queso for every opening game (most games really). This year, however, my Mom passed recently and I have her ashes in a Dallas Cowboys vase. She loved the Cowboys so every game from now on she'll be with me cheering on the boys!

Always pictured you like that, lonely and miserable....maybe Wentz will put a smile on your face this year. Ma!!!! Where's the meatloaf and grape soda!!!!!
LOL. Only "bros" are invited. And in a cellar?! Sounds kinky. Wonder if Wentzie will pop out of a cake too. :muttley:

"The makeup of NFL fans continues to diversify, thanks in large to women who now make up 47% of the league’s total fanbase.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the NFL announced this new percentage of female fans, which according to the league equates to 88 million to its fans.

More women watched Super Bowl LIV than the Grammys, Oscars and Emmys combined."
