Have you ever felt personally responsible for an Alabama win or loss?

Some folks taking this a little too seriously. Clearly, we don't affect the outcome, but it's easy to get caught up in our quirks.

Last years BAMA-lsu game was so special, that I dressed up a little extra for it. Wore khaki pants instead of jeans. Brown shoes instead of tennis shoes. I regret that decision to this very day!

I'm not very superstitious, but I always wear some Bama gear, whether in the stadium or at home, during the game...
I bet some coaches strongly dislike their teams wearing Pro Combat style uniforms or anything radically different. I believe it's a recipe for playing out of sync.

But yes, when I was younger I sometimes felt like an Alabama loss was payback from the divine for bad deeds on my part.

Went to go to the restroom (it was a long line) during the SEC Championship game (2009 vs Florida)... While I was gone, Tebow threw a pass to David Nelson for a TD... I got back to the table, my brother said, you ain't going nowhere except halftime and that's it. Weird. But, I don't seriously believe in these things. The team wins or loses not just because of me necessarily.

my friends and i have a tradition of burning a shirt from the opponent we are playing. last year i was at the bama-lsu reg. season game anf didnt get to burn anything and i got the blame when i got home from t-town, but it ended being just fine when the clock rang 0:00 in the NC game, all of them forgave and we rolled on. roll tide roll

Well, actually, yes.

Earlier in the day of the Texas A&M game I was talking to a neighbor about my run of bad luck--the garbage people hauled my garbage can away on a Monday before I broke my wrist on Thursday the week before the game. I said my bad luck reliably runs in sets of 3 and that I had a bad feeling abut the A&M game that afternoon.

I'll always believe I jinxed them...

I had a friend from 2002 to 2007. You already know where I am going with this one! During that time, we were 0 and 6 vs *U. I lost touch with that friend not long after the Iron Bowl in 2007. We have been 3-1 vs *U (soon to be 4-1) since then. I still talk to him on occasion, but still have not seen him in person since late 2007. I may just have to keep it that way!:tongue:

I have a Shaun Alexander jersey that I have won ever since the '09 IB. We have lost two games when I didn't wear it '10 USCe and LSUx last year. Both times I didn't have my jersey on, and both times the reason was because I was at a wedding.
