I used to stroke my beard when The Jays were about to close a game or were down in the 9th. I stopped doing it because it got weird.

Not really, because I believe jinxes are pretty much not an actual thing. I've never understood the intensity that some fans take this stuff to.

If you walked in front of the TV during a Phils game at a crucial time of the game- whether it be his daughter, wife, grandkid - you were in for it - you 'jinxed' - 'The Bums'. |

Would he bring out the belt? Or would you be "in for" just a plain old full palm spanking? |

Despite what I just said, I was watching the Yankees/Red Sox game where Mike Mussina came within a strike of a perfect game and I literally didn't dare move a muscle for fear of jinxing it.

I have to change the lighting &/or my seating &/or the blinds &/or what I'm eating/drinking if my team is losing.
Vancouver 2010 gold medal overtime, I had to stand up.
28-3 I had to mute the f'n tv after Gostkowski's missed PAT, so that my memory of the game wouldn't be as potent. I probably turned the volume back on after the first 2pt conversion.
One of the side effects of that is if my team is doing well & I'm really not feeling how the lighting is or what I'm drinking, I have to endure that. SB XLIX v Seattle was like that. The lamp beside my chair which I kinda hate cuz too near, I would turn it on & the Patriots would play better. I'd try it off & they'd fcuk up. So I had to watch Pete Carroll implode with too much light.

Oh, I'm not superstitious, I just wear my lucky pants to games, and I'm good.

Blackhawks were my favorite in the 60s-early 90s. Had to wear my shirt or they'd lose. Worked in 1988-89 in the first 2 playoff rounds vs Detroit and St. Louis, but not against Calgary in the Conference Final.
For MSU basketball, if I pick them to go far in the NCAA tournament or win it, they will crash out early.
