I don't (I have a couple for myself when I play poker but thats a different story) but I have to rattle off what my buddy does for the Buffalo Sabres(NHL).
Stuff he does pre-game: This list sums up what he has to do before each contest to 'give the team a chance to win'.
-Listens to 2 full length CDs, one with a bunch of random songs summing up his feelings about the team, another one with other songs and famous calls from theradio guy here in Buffalo
-Has a specific jersey rotation that he wears, if the Sabres win he wears the same jersey for next game, if the Sabres lose the goes to the next one
-Has to play 2-3 games of NHL 2008
-For the playoffs (if we make it) he adds an additional CD for the playoffs to listen to after the first two, giving him 3 total.
-Has different home and away hats he must wear
-Has Sabres sneakers from reebok (no tap tap pull status though
)
Stuff he does during the game: This list sums up what he has to do to continue the success of the Sabres during any given contest (when they are on theroad, he has season tickets so he goes to every game possible):
-If he is at home when the Sabres score he must play the same goal horn used in HSBC arena
-He has home and away towels he must wave if the Sabres score
-If we win he has to play this soundclip from the 03-04 season when some guy performed at HSBC during intermission during one of the games. I dont remember thename of the song or anything
-Also has to play a Goo Goo Dolls song 'stay with you' if we win
Other miscellanious stuff that gets on my nerves:
-Sets his alarm clock according to roster numbers (ex: if he has to get up in the morning he'll set his alarm for 9:30...Derek Roy's jersey number is9, Ryan Miller's is 30)
-Has a sabres keychain he hangs on his closet door which i constantly knocked off while walking past it this semester at school
-Has a sabres 'light/lamp' thing that is always turned on.
-During the playoffs we got pom poms...if a single string would fall he would collect it, put it in his pocket and hang it on the previously mentioned sabreslight/lamp thing
-Has to be in attendance for pre-game skate (about 1/2 hr before faceoff) at every game, no later
This is all I can think of for now. I have told him he has OCD and he fails to believe me.
Does anyone else either have/know someone with these many superstitions?
