Superstitions

[JHarris]

OK...I hear it from my friends and family all the time that I'm crazy with my traditions/superstitions. To this day I wear the exact same t-shirt I've worn since the first game under my jersey. Twice I've switched jerseys due to retirement or upgrade and for the whole next season I have to keep the old one with me. Two of my close friends have been banned from my house on game day because it was their fault the Ravens were losing (it had to be...they came back and won after I threw them out) and the list goes on.... Help me out Ravens fans....tell me I'm not alone

Good topic,

last year I found one that worked:

The Friday before the game, I would wear my CMac jersey

Then on the Sunday of the game, I'd wear my Terrell Suggs jersey and watch the entire game.

Everytime I followed that formula, we won. (except for the Colts game, dammit)

I went to bed during the Bronco game

I was on vacation for the Panthers game

and I went forgot to wear my CMac for the Thursday night game..

Then on the Monday after we would win I'd wear a purple Ravens T-Shirt, and the cycle repeated

yeah that Colts game...my 14 year old daughter still gives me a hard time because I went to the game and didnt layout my orginal Reed jersey.

To add to my list : I have puprple christmas lights...they only come out for playoffs

I have never missed a game...at 2 family reunions I ran 100 feet of cable outside so I could watch the games as I was on the grill

I have this little hand thing I do whenever Stover lines up...I kinda twitch my fingers back and forth down by my side until the kick and then raise them as the ball go through the uprights

When watching at home I MUST have my laptop by my chair so I can track stats as the game goes along

I'm sure my wife would be able to add to this...I dont think I even realize what I'm doing half the time

When we win, I have to keep wearing the same "outfit" each game until we lose. That only applies to home games, though. It doesn't seem to matter what I wear for away games.

FellsPoint could tell you that we always win when I bring minestrone to tailgate. I should have made some for the Colts game. I blame myself for that loss.

Well me and my grandfather came up with "The Whammy". We use this on the opposing teams offense. Its when you cross both of your thumbs at the screen. We have different types of whammies for different plays.

We're crazy, we know. But it works 80% of the time.. the other times its not working, its because we wore it out. then we wait a few plays, and fire the Whammy back up..

Too numerous to list lol!

Lets see everytime I went to get my haircut last year, the Ravens lost--Panthers, Denver and Cinci.

Same hair scrunchie every game

Lucky Raven Charm Bracelet

I have 3 under jersey shirts--a sleeveless, short sleeve and turtleneck and have rotated them as the seasons go for the last 6 years

I can never ever be anywhere near my computer during the actual game because I am afraid I may spike it.

I had to watch the end of the Browns game last year from the bathroom......we started driving while i was in there, so, as any superstitious fan (with superstitious fans) would do, i stayed in......luckily, i could see the tv from there......

haha I've had my share of lucky shirts and jerseys, the first of which was from year 1 of the ravens. i had this shirt id wear when i could remember, it was actually an orange shirt...browns colors...but we'd win when I wore it so I deemed it lucky (i was 6 when the ravens came to Baltimore so bear with me here lol) every time i wore it that season we won but i kept forgetting so we didnt do too amazing.

then before we hit the superbowl i got a afc champ J Lew shirt (and we won the superbowl that year) so i kept wearing it for the next couple years, even though it seemed to do no good by then. then again, nothing i did after that superbowl year really brought us any luck

anyways i bought a steve mcnair jersey for last year cause I was excited at the chance for a proven quarterback to come and guess what? we went 13-3

might just bring it back for this year, for i too am to blame for that colts lost, i didnt wear it

hopefully itll help us take it all the way to our second SB cause im really feelin' it this year! Go Ravens!

Waiting on my NEW AUTHENTIC FULLY STITCHED McGAHEE jersey I ordered the White one.. I had to retire my Authentic Ed Reed after he signed it at training camp.. That Ed Reeed Jersey never missed a game It will be missed hanging up signed now in Silver Sharpie. But It looks awfully nice though signed I must SAY on his number 20.

Anyways what the heck is up with this game!?-Sorry to go off topic

i guess it got rained out, its been thunder and lightning around here. our offense still shows signs of life at least. anyway, i may not have authentic jerseys and such but i think any shirt can be lucky, ya just gotta give it a shot

[Raven07]

my superstition?........Praying for a win (every single game we play)......i only wear my Raven Ed Reed Jersey if and ONLY if we win, i dont wear it b4 a game, or during, or if they lost

[Raven07]

oh AND i also play Madden (kinda like a little preview to the upcoming match-up) you know i set the home and away teams approiately each week, i set the time, and everything else, just to make it as close to the real thing as possible hehe

(i always play as teh Ravens of course hehe)
