I have a shirt for home games and a different shirt for away games. I also have a gray practice T that I wear when I first get out of bed, but I always shower and change before game-time.

I haven't shaved since September, and I haven't smoked since April. I credit the winning and my superstitious nature for my beard and beating my nicotine addiction. :)

Congrats on the quitting :thumbup:

If certain people are in the room, we will lose. So I have to lock all the doors and windows before every game, and disconnect the phone lines.

:laugh2: Lock the windows?...

After what I personally subjected Dallas to 1987-1989

I am no longer superstitious. Its a bad road to go down.

I wear a Cowboys jersey (doesn't have to be the same one generally, although it's been my Romo jersey all season and I'm not screwing with that) during the game, but I don't put it on until sitting down to watch. I have a Dallas cap I wear during the game, but I can't put it on until the ball's in the air for the kickoff.

I screwed up once and forgot to put my cap on. Dallas still won, fortunately. I continue to do the ritual for my own amusement. I even did the cap thing at the bar when I had to go to watch the Cowboys/Packers game.

shake uncontrollably (SP) while pacing in front of the TV, cursing them to get the game started already

during the game I curse and swear using words that make George S Patton cringe, mostly at Cowboy players when they make a mistake, esp. Romo, I always curse at him to get the ball off and quit that damn audibling(SP)

It's not really a superstition, but I basically just get butterflies in my stomach right before the game starts, then I feel somewhat sick to my stomach through most of the first quarter unless we jump on them early. I also say "Are you kidding me?!?!" a lot.

:D

:doh:Geez Man... What's the matter with you? They want to hear about an unusual act you do due to superstition, not something Everyone does before a game...

ROFLMAO. I'm the same way, but somehow I got suckered down that road again this year. I wore my Cowboys hat the day before the game and we won, so I had to keep doing that every game this year on the off chance that my hat voodoo might affect the outcome of the game. :laugh2:

It changes from year to year. This year, I have to put on a clean cowboys t-shirt on gameday. I've put on a semi-dirty cowboys t-shirt a couple of times and they didn't play well, but won.

The one time I didn't put on a cowboys t-shirt, they lost.

So now I make sure all my clothes are washed by saturday night.

I wasn't superstitous, until this season. I realized that when I watched Cowboys games with other people, they generally lost, or played horribly. I watched the Commanders game where Moss scored 2td's in the last 4 minutes, at a bar with my brother in law (he's a skins fan). I was also watching the blocked fg debacle from last year against the skins with him.... So this year my Mom came over, yet another skins fan, to watch the game... Remember how bad we played into the third quarter? Yeah she left and two minutes later T.O. went to the endzone, and we started rolling.... No more watching the games with anyone, especially not a fan of the opponent. Oh and I ignore all phone calls, and text messages until the game is over too... I don't even check to see who it was.

Mine, I have to have on BOTH Cowboys shirts one long sleeve and the outer shirt is a "Got Romo?" shirt and a certain pair of pants. If the game is tight going into the last few minutes the wifey has to go into the other room cause she's bad luck (I know I'm mean).What are yours?
I wear the same Dallas Cowboys Football tshirt every game. I also wear the same ol' cap. I did wear a new cap once...when I went to the Patriots @ Cowboys game. Needless to say, I've stuck w/ the old cap.
