Question For All?? What Is Your Lucky Piece??

I wear the white Nike coach's shirt from 2005. I wasn't wearing it in both of our losses and for that I am truly sorry. I will be wearing it this weekend with a jacket in tow for when it's a little cool.
I also always listen to the fight song prior to each game. If I'm at the game it's no problem but when I'm not I make sure I listen to it before I leave the house.
Also I always drink a Yellow Hammer before the game when I'm down in Tuscaloosa. It might not help us win but it definitely gets me feeling like we will win that day no matter who we're playing.DT_alc:

DT_alc:This is a funny thread...Well I'd have to say mine is my futon. The two games we lost, I wasn't able to be home for the game. Georgia game I went back home to see my folks. The Florida State game I had to work. Don't worry, I'm gonna be home for this one haha.
I drink my coffee from a Bama mug- then my beer from a Bama coozie - I just got a houndstooth baseball hat ansd new t-shirt before the UT game - so Im sticking with that this week
So from what I gather if we had a party and all of us came we would have some spicy chicken dip, lots of underwear (that might be a good thing), a ring, some shirts and a futon.... LOL ..... At least I know now that I am not the only person with this weird game day set up and if does not go the way I always do it then we are screwed ( or so mind thinks ) ....
I think overall flipping the channels back and forth is my biggest hang up, I must go through 400 AA batteries during CFB season from flipping back and forth, oh my last one is when Tiffin kicks a FG or XP I will watch it cause last year against arky well we know what happened and I was closing my eyes every time so no more of that either!!!!

That dip sounds really tempting, you may have to post the recipe some time on the grillin' board. BTW, those "Heineys" are worth the drive from Cullman to get 'em ain't they?
As for me, it's more of a ritual than a lucky piece. I have to have all the food ready before the game whether I'm grillin' or picking up some wings from Zaxby's. Of course the beverages are chillin' and I'm in front of the TV well before kick off dressed appropriately in one of my Alabama shirts.
i have gone through a few in the past few years...had to retire many a shaker through the two coach mike's....
but right now i have a red bama tshirt that says 'lucky gameday t-shirt' i bought in t-town before the arkansas game and wore it to that game...it is 3-1 so far (it did everything it could in the georgia game ) i did not wear it to FSU because i heard people were wearing white - so i take some responsibility for that.
also we sit in the student section every game, and we have a row and seats we HAVE to sit in (i can't tell you because some rival fan might try to steal my lucky seats!) but i will say it dates back to Shaun days :biggrin:

I don't use it for Alabama football, but when the Red Sox was down 3-0 to the Yankees in '04, I found in my closet an XFL football. I started a little ritual of having it in my possession starting with Game 4 all the way to the World Series. Throughout the next 3 years, when things looked bad for them I would grab the old black and red football, and they would have a walk-off homerun or win in dramatic fashion. Well, when they were down 3-1 this year to the Indians, I grab the ol' XFL and rest is history. All together, I'm 19-0 with that football.
Am I weird?

I used to have a Bama rock. It was oblong, about the size of a golf ball, painted crimson with a white "A" on the back and a little face painted on one end. That thing had powerful mojo. I'd hold it all game and when things looked bleak, I'd get everyone to "touch the rock".
It disappeared a few years ago. I keep hoping it'll turn up one of these days...

I have an Alabama belt buckle that I wear to every game. I've brought home many victories with this thing. Check this out!
First let me say that I'm not superstitious. With that being said---Here we go.
1. I wear the same Alabama Polo to every home game.
2. When I get to the game my wife and I go to the same restroom and I always go in the same door. The one game this year that I did not go through that door we lost (UGA).
3. I always go walking around the concourse of the stadium during halftime.
4. I always go to the restroom during halftime (refer to the process in#2).
5. I always yell "Roll Tide Roll" during the kickoff but I do not shake a shaker or raise my hands. (shakers are bad luck for me--but I am not superstitious)
6. I dip Skoal--If things are going good, I leave that dip in! If things start going bad, I spit it out and leave it out hoping for luck to change. If things do not change I put in a different pinch. Keep in mind I am not superstitious!
7. When at home I never listen to the TV play-by-play. Eli and Snake all the way.
8. When kicking a game winning field goal or extra point my oldest daughter (age 10) must sit in my lap. This started during the Bama vs. Florida game in the Swamp years ago.
9. When at home I will also change seats if things are not going well.
I want to be clear--I am not superstitious!!

Ooohhh...there's a grilling board?? I must explore this site more! I always lurk on the football board but a grilling board seems like a nice place to hang out, too.
And yes, the drive to Warrior (or Decatur...just depends on my mood) is always worth it. :driving:
This one is going to get VERY weird as the years go by, lol...
Thank goodness you are not superstitious!:wink:
Made both of those drives many times. I've only lived in B'ham the past 3 years or so. Grew up in Cullman, CHS class of '87. Go Bearcats!
One thing is for sure you better have that ball in hand for opening kick-off!!:biggrin:
As the patron saint of travelers, St. Christopher should help the road team.I also have a St. Christopher medalion I wear around my neck. He helped the Tide convert a lot of 3rd downs against UT.
But I'm glad he switched sides
