What Are Some Raven Fans Game Day Superstitions?

20 posts in this topic

I have to admit, as a Steeler fan I'm somewhat superstitious come game day. Now deep inside I know my superstitions are absolutely ridiculous and have absolutely no impact but I cant help it.

On game day, I always wear my Heath Miller jersey and Steelers hat and have to sit in the same chair. If the Steelers are losing going into the 4th quarter I have to turn my hat backwards, take off my Miller jersey and move to another chair. And what sucks is that the Steelers do comeback a lot in the 4th quarter so it kind of supports my superstition which leads to more faith in my actions!

Now I know its insane but Im not saying that I cant leave my house because I have to sit in my chair, I'm not that completely OCD. I think that my wife just looks at me and wonders how she married such an idiot sometimes when the Steelers are playing.

Either way, do you guys have any superstitions on Ravens game day? Or do you know any that your Ravens players have to do?

I wear my '06 playoff "It's time to hunt" shirt under my Flacco jersey. I make my own gameday nachos exactly 1 half hour before the game starts, as to try to occupy myself. I watch the CBS pre game show every week, no questions asked. And scream and yell all game, so I have no voice for school the next day.

Choose from one of the half a dozen+ jerseys, Ed Reed jersey shirt underneath the jersey, Ravens hat (about 5 years old) and a football. Someone starts off with the ball. If we're doing well, they keep the ball. If something bad happens, they are unseated of the ball and on to the next person. If one person has the ball and the D is performing, but O isn't, they get it for D only and vice versa. Nah, not superstitious at all :)

I might sound like a crackhead but i [i]never[/i] shower the day of a game until its over, and i drink a sprite and beer before kickoff and during half time. I also have to be wearing my Jamal Lewis shirt under my Ed Reed jersey, and i have to be sitting in my lucky arm chair i bought the day before the Ravens went to the Superbowl.

When I am in the states I have 2 recliners that nobody can sit in on gameday, I have Ray and Reed's Jersey draped on them, and a college hit stick that I got from college in rays chair hoping for those bone jarring hits, and a can of stick um in Ed's for the sticky handed picks.

A shot of Jack, a shot of wild turkey, chased with a guiness for all who are there on gameday. And the 4:11 leading up to kickoff we blare rock you like a hurricane.

Oh and I am always in a vintage autographed Ray Lewis jersey from 2000 when he won the mvp on

I display the mini RIddell of the two teams (Steelers and whoever) playing. I don;t have all of them yet, but a little more than half. My plan has always been to get who ever is on their Schedule each year until I had them all, but it never makes it to the priority list.

I start the day with my finest snifter of Henri IV Dudognon Heritage. I then enjoy a breakfast of belinis topped with Beluga caviar and creme fraiche. I then board my Gulfstream GS550 and circle above whichever stadium the Ravens are playing in and watch the game from 51,000ft.
