The "game 6 thread" thread (are you guys really serious? ) got me thinking a bit. What kind of game day superstitions do you guys have?

I used to have the thought that I needed to wear some sort of team article of clothing, but I have been proven wrong too many times to count.

I usually have a pretty good shootaround warmup in my driveway before the game while listening to the pregame show on 1320, and I have the strange thought that how well I shoot will translate into how well the Jazz do. Don't ask me, it's just some sort of psychological glitch I spose.

My baseball superstition is kinda odd. I like to sit on the 3rd base line side if my team is at home. If they are away, I sit on the 1st base line side. It's an odd thing, and doesn't happen often since I don't catch many games, but I honestly think in my mind that it makes a difference... Baseball does things like that to you though, moreso than any other sport IMO.

So do you guys have any? I always like to hear about these, I like to see how others minds work.

I've tried to ease up on the superstitions, sometimes I wont play NBA 2k8 on gameday, wont take a shower before the game, sometimes I try to eat the same stuff as other gamedays that we won. I used to yell at my family if they would go in and out of the room during the game either watch it or dont, dont mess the flow of the game. If I happen to get into a position while watching the game and we do well I tend to try and keep that position the rest of the game. I dont post on forums during the game only after. Try to not go to the bathroom unless its halftime.

I either wear the away Boozer jersey on the away games or the alternate AK47 baby blue's for the home games.

The Boozer jersey never works.

I tend to shoot some hoops, while wearing deron's # 8 jersey before the game, even though I'm not really good at basketball. *laughs* In pick-up games, I always lose to lil kids that are 6-7 years younger than me.

Anyway, if I get beat by a few points, it's a big plus for me 'cuz that way, I know the jazz will most definitely win. ^^; And if I get blown out, it means the jazz will probably lose. u.u

Well, since game 6 is a crucial game for the jazz, I'll play my hardest this time around and not get the ball stolen from me all the time. *determined mode* Go jazz go!!

Bought myself a Jazz hat right before the Korver trade and I've worn it every game day... that and spend alot of one on one time with my bong!!

I have two game day rituals...go to my cable guide and Tivo the Jazz game and the two shows right after it (in case of double or triple OT), and make my woman happy during the day so she'll leave me the hell alone during game time!

Yeah!!! We'll see all you laker fans on monday. And this time, utah will win... I hope.

You live right near disney world?!?! Awesome, I've been there once and also unverisal studios.

im on a winning streak with my deron williams alternate jersey. i only have worn it on home games this series, since i dont just want to wear it every game and wear off all the luck at once. Plus everybody must have some sort of "sit in your same seat last time we won" thing goin, i certainly do...

true dat, although new seat tonight sat int he same seat from the sunday game as i did the wednesday game. couch next tot he TV seems liek a good fit tonight.

It seems like every single time that I make microwave popcorn in between the third and fourth quarters they win. I don't do it every game, but every single time I do it seems like they win.

That, and I sing along with the Les Olsen Company commercials

first i slaughter a set number of geese (# of points AK scores in previous game = # of geese slaughtered). I then, naturally, gather as much blood as possible into empty blue Powerade bottles and set the bottles in a cirlce. If there is an odd # of bottles, I drink the contents of one of them. If not, I simply meditate in the circle for a few hours.

Then, at exactly 1012626 seconds before the game begins, I spread the blood onto the doors of all my non jazz-fan neighbors. If any of them wash it off before the game begins, the Jazz will lose. If not, they always win.
