Gameday Rituals

In order to do my part and help the 'Skins win, I have a few rituals that I go through before the game. I'm sure you guys have a couple of your own... Anyway, these are mine.

1.) Never play as the 'Skins versus whatever team they're facing in real life on Madden, as every time I've done it, it jinxes us and we lose.

2.) Put on a Redskin's Jersey, put Rolling Rock in the 'Skins mug, and make potato skins. I swear we win 75% of the time I do this.

3.) Wear my lucky Skins hat that has never been washed in 5 years.

4.) Hold onto my football signed by Joe Gibbs

5.) Finally, and most importantly, sing "Hail to the Redskins" at the top of my lungs to annoy my girlfriend.

night before i run a 60 minute simmed madden game, restarting it if the redskins get too far behind ;)

Every Sunday morning, I get all of my Redskins stuff out of my room and set it up all over my basement. After its all set up, I pump Easy like Sunday Morning as I go around and touch each peice of Skins' gear. (I dont allow myself to listen to the song at any other time.) Then as the song climaxes, I put on my eyeblack and go sit down and get ready for the game. AFter the game if we win, I will dance and sing to Tina Turners " Simply the Best "

Every Sunday I get sick to my stomach over the thought of another defeat!

This Monday I'm getting plastered to numb any pain I may experience.
This is my favorite Skins matchup, Cowboys & Indians :)

Got one of my own....lock the wife outta the house or persuade her to go out for a sunday brunch with her friends....nothing good ever happens for the skins when she's around watching.

This time around will be tricky...how do I get rid of her on monday night? ;-)

No problem hurrykaine, here's a couple of ideas: (1) file a restraining order,(2) tell her to meet you at a secluded (and distant) restaurant for a romantic meal, (3) have a friend write a 'secret admirer' letter and have her meet the 'secret admirer' at a motel in another state.

You can always make up afterwards.

tell to go back to work.

do you WIN tho?


Yeah, usually kill the other team. If I am losing, I go to the Madden Cards... :httr:

Why don't you do it every game? You're killing us!!! ;)

I make chili before every game when I'm at home. If I go to the game, I get fairly drunk. As I've said to any who asks, "I don't know how good the game is going to be - I Know the tailgate will be good."
