Does Anyone Else Get Nervous Before A Game?

[PeRK82]

Does anyone else get kinda nervous before the Game starts even with a crappy team we are facing.
Also i can usually tell how the game is going to play out after the first 4 mins of the game and usually im right, the last time i was wrong about the out come of a game after watching the first few mins was the Stealers playoff game. (thats was some fluke b.s).

And it was in the Back of my head after the first few mins. of watching the Titans game that we were going to lose but i didnt say anything to my buddy when watching it because i didnt want to jynx it.

On a side note, Does anyone else have any rituals before or during a game.

I have my RAVENS gnome that i have to rub the gnomes hat before kick off or before they snap the ball on either side for the defense and offense for a Big play. (I got my buddy doing now,lol)

Also when we are playing Badly , i take my Jersey off until we start making some plays or til we score.

Anyone else have their own rituals or i guess im just Crazy. Ill take the latter,lolol [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/th_padded.gif[/img]

Before every Ravens game I pet my cat exactly 3 times,scratch my dogs nose twice and
pinch my wife's [profanity deleted] once and run.

I know the Ravens will win if I follow this exact sequence.

i'm nervous and anxious before every game, especially these primetime games because I have more time to think about it and know it's nationally televised.

Also, I usually only wear one jersey for the entire year. This year is a white Joe Flacco with black shorts.

Fry up a ton of hot wings, wear whatever jersey I think goes with the impact player, crack open a StrongBow cider, face the raven statue on my coffee table towards the tv, and get ready to lose my voice.

The Jags dont make me nervous but mjd does.This should be a slam-dunk.

I hate national games because Flacco never seems to do well in them.

But as long as we get the W, I don't care. But an upset in a national game is the biggest embarrassment, which is why I don't feel good about this game.

Most of the time...The Tennesee game and Pittsburgh has been the worst. A lot of pacing going on when they play the Steelers.

Always have, even against terrible teams. I still wake up at night sweating when i dream about the Bills game and the Texans. Hell i'm even nervous about the Jags even though i'm 99% sure we'll win. Only team i was 100% sure about was the Rams.
