1. Dirk Jersey (haven't washed it since they won game 7 with the Kings), and Dirk's bobblehead on the TV stand.
2. My wife have to watch the game in a different room with my dogs. 3. Have to drink a Corona each quarter, no more, no less. Seems like they winning every time. hehe. |

Breath at least once per minute. Tried not doing this once and it wasn't a pleasant experience. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You can call it whatever you want if its luck, superstitous whatever, but during stretches or stops, I usually have to close my eyes, take a deep breath, and not necessarily pray for something to happen, I just make it happen.
Kinda weird I know...But it only works one time a game and the first time, so I have to use it very wisely and not too early. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Unfortunately I just bought a new house and I don't have cable or satellite now so I can't watch playoff basketball anymore. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I might go to a sports bar tonight...

I eat Jello with whipped cream whenever we need a rally. It changes every round though. The last round was Chocolate Ice Cream. The round before that it was a Power Bar.

But I cannot do that at home since I don't have cable. I get free cable at my health club and watch cable games from there. Monday nights game I was home at the start of the 4th quarter, I was eating my Jello by the middle of the quarter and we pulled it out at the end. Tonight, I will be watching the ENTIRE game at the club so Jello rally will not be possible. If we need it, I am thinking about leaving early and listening to Followill on 103.3. I'd do anything for the team!!!!

I go to the game. The Mavs have never lost a game I attended. However, something bad always happens when I go to Dallas for a game...Space Shuttle blows up, hail storm, my purse gets ripped off. I wonder what will happen next time.
When I watch games at home I try not to leave the TV. If I get up to go to the kitchen, put the kids to bed, etc. the Mavs always start losing. When I get back they start winning. It's strange, but true. |

I'm really kind of weird. Get it from my grandmother on my father's side. She'd turn off Cowboy games if she thought she was bad mojo! I do the same thing. It's just a feeling I get. But, you can ask my wife, during the SAC series I turned the game, would turn it back, we'd be up, then they'd make a good play within 10 secs of me turning it on! I barely saw that one, but we won! (Forgot which game.)
'Course it's weird, and I really don't believe in it, but why take chances?!

Having spent 5 years in theatre, I'm a fairly superstitious person, but I don't do anything crazy. If the Mavs/Stars lose a game after I've posted a prediction, I won't post one again as long as they keep winning. This is why I sometimes go several games w/out predicting. If I don't start out watching the game & the other team goes on a run when I do tune in, I'll turn it off & won't watch again, no matter how great the game sounds. That's why I didn't get to see Game 7 vs. Sacto. You have to make those kinds of personal sacrifices if you want to win a championship.

Watch on my special love seat. Drink a beer before game starts. Leave work at 3:00 to hear the Big Show.

I figured that nothing i do can affect the way the Mavs play. But i do say a prayer before they play.

Before Game 7 of the Sac series I had to wear my Mavericks shirt that I got at the NBA store in New York, and I refuse to put it on from the period of 30 minutes before-until the start of the game. Only before then. Recently, my dad went to Europe and bought me a Dirk jersey with German tags even though its a regular Mavs away jersey. I wear that during games now.

I do the following...
1) Grab my Michael Finley Jersey. I never wear it, but I always have my Finley jersey draped around my neck. 2) I ice down my tin Corona basket with 2 of the following beers... 1) Corona 2) Amstel Light 3) Pacifico 3) I run three races in Gran Turismo 3. 4) I watch the game in my official Dallas Mavericks basement lounge, on the same TV I had in college. Didn't do it tonight. Decided I was going to watch it on the big screen upstairs. Sorry y'all.

Which means, I will only be able to listen to the games on the radio. But I was just sick with myself last night for not getting any Jello and Whipped Cream. I felt so damned guilty. Well no more!!!! Game 3, we kick Jello ass!!!!!!!

I refuse to wear anything Mavs when I watch at home, and wear the same Mavs golf shirt to every game I go to.
