superstitions

I only wear my cheesehead on 3rd & 4th downs, special teams plays, other important plays. I make my kid do the same

I am glad the Super Bowl is less than 2 weeks away as the Green and Gold underwear are getting pretty rank and mostly brown and gold.

Vince,

Welcome aboard and great teaching the kids the guidelines!

My wife is a Packer fan but dose not like to watch the games. But when the Pack has gotten in trouble in close games, I call her to come down and watch. When she is available and comes to watch, the Packers pull out a win. She did watch the entire Atlanta game. And the only times the Bears scored was when she left the room for a few minutes. So for the SB, she will have to watch the whole game!!

What are your superstitions?

FYI, my neighbors hate me with the Packer flag hanging, yes I live in FIBland....

You just keep that up and we win...

I prefer not to call them superstitions, but rather I call them "sticking to the program."

My wife still calls me nuts.

Here they are in random order:

-Must sit in my game day chair
-Kids must stay in the same spot if playing well, change chairs if playing bad
-When they win, wear the same clothes in the same order of the previous week
-Never, ever, watch the game with more than 4 people that I'm not related to (last time I did that, they lost XXXLII)
-In the preseason, I change shirts and hats numerous times during a win so those clothes can experience a "win" and be worn later in the season for a change of pace if needed
-We re-arranged the furniture in the living room after Christmas prior to the last game of the season, I was prepared to move everthing back if the Pack didn't play well

Those are just a few examples of my "sticking to the program."

Did I mention my wife thinks I'm nuts?

I had 2 weeks off from work over Christmas break, so I let my whiskers grow. For a goof, I shaved it into a fu-man-chu, although there are many barren areas. When I was getting ready to go back to work and about to shave it off, I realized the Pack hadn't lost since I started growing it, so I had to keep my playoff "beard". So now I'm stuck with 2 more weeks of looking like a 14 year old trying to grow facial hair!

One superstition is not to talk about my superstitions for fear of weakening or eliminating the good luck spells.

I've a piss poor attempt at a playoff beard working as well, since before the Giants game. Spotty, but my son won't let me shave until the Pack loses or wins the Super Bowl.

I look like an idiot....

count me in the beard group. started growing it after christmas for ice fishing and there's no going back now until after the SB.

I wore my Packer fleece during the Giants game and they won. I have wore it every game since. I will keep wearing and I haven't washed it either. It has worked so far so I hope it will in 11 days.

I gave up all of my superstitions this year. I decided that a random fan (me) watching the game in a room somewhere in California had no bearing on the games whatsoever. It's been quite freeing.

That said, the last time my sister and I attended a game together (NFC Championship game for the '96 season), the Packers won the Super Bowl. We also attended the Giants game this year. So far so good.

Since the Giants game, I too have worn the same thing to work on Friday before the game.

My g/f got me a pair of Packer bibs for X-mas, so I have worn those with an old packer hat, with a white long sleeve shirt underneath and my CMIII jersey near just in case we need a "lift" for everygame since the Bears. I have watched the games out in town or at friends houses, and every Saturday/Sunday, I have heard someone say "who's the clown?" These bibs are fun and comfortable, but not the best looking...... It's fun to wear bibs in FL and people looking at you strange.... One more game, and they might be put up forever!!!!!!

Wife and I went to the giants game and have not shaved since. It's not pretty but whatever helps the team wi n!!

Several years ago my wife bought a TOG jersey for my dog...yes, my dog. That year we hosted Thanksgiving, and the Packers played the Lions that day. The Packers were ahead and playing well when we decided that it would be fun to put the jersey on the dog to show everybody....so we did.

The Lions immediately scored two TDs and were back in the game. I freaked, jumped on the dog, and removed the jersey. The Packers quickly took back control of the game and ended up winning.

Since then, the dog has been required to be naked during all Packers games. Now if I could just convince my wife to......nevermind.

Don't you look like an idiot without the beard?

Got a Clay Matthews jersey for Christmas, and they haven't lost since.

Also, I avoid playing Madden or any sort of football game on the weekend of a game. Actually, I don't think I've played Madden since October. I might be on to something here.

I was waiting for some wiseacker to say that!

Yeah, pretty much, it just gets worse with my Cliff Clavin attempt at a beard!

Staying away from Lambeau. They lost both times I was there.

My friend's parents put up their Christmas tree between the Patriots and Giants game. Since the Packers haven't lost since, it stays up. They turn the lights on for every game.

I got a new fleece for Christmas and it's been my game-day attire ever since. The A-Rod jersey has been hanging. I had to wash mine, though, as a chicken wing found it's way on to the front of mine! No worries, though, got the win in the NFCCG with the washed fleece.

I tore a quad muscle and had surgery six weeks ago. I've been unable until very recently to put my Packer flag up over the garage. But, since they've been winning the flag does not go up again until after the Super Bowl is over. I've also not worn a jersey during the playoffs but rather have been wearing the same Packer shirt my son gave me for Christmas. My wife wanted to know if I thought we should have a Super Bowl party at our house. NO, we had one for the last Super Bowl the Packers were in against Denver and we lost. Did not have a party the year before against New England. NO PARTY. It's too distracting anyway to have a lot of people around who may not really care who wins the game but are there to party.

Have flown my Packer flag on my bird feeder all year,too wise to replace it with American flag before Packers are declared Super Bowl Champions,after that Old Glory will fly proudly once again.

I have both. Old Glory and the Packer flag each fly off my front porch.

--Same chair

--Go into crouch on big plays

--Packer helmet on fireplace

--Adjust helmet to opposite direction in order to affect "Karma Change" if needed.

--Ask Mrs. Blair Kiel the "Magic words" before every opponent field goal. She then declares "They never miss these." Backgound on that is a reference to the words she uttered in a forgotten game from a few years back---as Crosby lined up for the game winning 25-yarder, she declared "They never miss these."-----He missed. I've never forgiven her.

My latest superstition is watching the games with my new girlfriend. She is a Redskins fan but she has sat and watched every game with me for the last 5 weeks and now does not have the option of NOT watching it with me.

beef is aroused.

Hell, I'm aroused.

We have a Xmas tree decked out with Packer ornaments including a cheese head on top. Can't take it down till after the season.

I drink a .5 liter bottle of Ayinger Oktoberfest beer 1 hour before kickoff. Been doing this since the Giants' game.

I got 6 bottles left, it's a great beer. Thinking about tempting fate and having 2 Ayingers for the Super Bowl
