Your Playoff rituals/traditions 

Post#1 » by tmacformvp07 » Fri Apr 4, 2008 5:16 pm

i've never had a playoff ritual or tradition but this year i'm going to take off my mcgrady jersey that's been hanging from my wall for 3 years and will be wearing it 24/7, yes i'll even be sleeping with it on.

and if the rockets get out of the first round i'm going to buy everything rockets.

i'll also probably wear lot of red to support the team color.

anyways what is YOUR playoff tradition or ritual, is there something that you're going to be doing to support your team.

I've always been a big fan of sacrificing a baby goat after the 18th game of the playoffs. Studies have shown it increases the odds for your team of favor to win by 2.7%.
Morey 2020.

I do something that's probably considered really crazy. Not just crazy, but crazy INSANE(shameless Weird Science plug).

What I do is this:

Step 1: I sit down in whatever location is most comfortable and/or available to me at the moment.

Step 2: I turn on the television(assuming I am not at the game, which I usually am not so that is irrelevant in this discussion).

Step 3: I proceed to the channel that displays the sporting event I am intent on watching(in this case Rockets vs Insert Team Here). If multiple channels exist, I choose the one I feel most comfortable viewing and I switch back and forth between that and the other option in order to get a more overall sense of how terrible the various broadcasters are(note: the term "terrible" does not apply to Mr. Worrell or Mr. Van Gundy).

Step 4: I watch the game. During this time, I may consume various beverages(not all alcoholic, but mostly) and/or various food products. I may also scream and curse at odd moments out of frustration with either the performance of my team or the officials, or I may also rejoice and use scattered curse words in support of my team's performance, as I, the viewer am basically a cheerleader cheering on my team(despite the fact they cannot hear me).

Step 5: The game is completed, and I turn the television off(too much rots your brain kids). At this time, I am either severely depressed or insanely happy, depending on the outcome of said game(although since I am a Rockets fan, it's usually the former).

So, as you can see, nothing fancy. Just your basic, old school "turn on game, watch game, turn off game" strategy. It has seemed to work for me quite well in the past, and I hope it will continue to work for me in the future.

Thank you all for listening(technically reading), and God Bless.

Not a playoff ritual but normally when I play around with a basketball during the game we win 80-90% of the time.

Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.
