OT Superstitions 

Post#1 » by Gasoline16 » Thu May 15, 2008 5:27 pm

Hey you guys, I'm a long time reader, but never decided to create an account until recently.
Anyway, I wasn wondering if you guys have any superstitions when you guys watch the games, and if you guys know any that the players have to help me in a paper I have to write, like Stackhouse wearing 5 pairs of socks. Any superstitions would be welcome as well as an explanation.
Thanks and GO LAKERS!!!

Not so much anymore since i'm older...

But when I played H.S. ball and college intramurals I'd eat a ultimate cheeseburger while amping up on tunes. Especially on big games. I got into doing that because one game I did it and I felt like I was going way faster than everyone else.

Not so much now, I try it now and I feel bloated.

I'm not superstitious. I think it's bad luck to be superstitious.
