Whether it's a certain drink, hat, food, tailgating spot, a whole routine, certain spot on the couch you have to sit, other superstitions, etc. Let's hear em.


For me, if we're the home team, I wear a crimson Bama shirt. If we're the away team, I wear a white Bama shirt.

Also, if we lose, I won't wear the shirt again for a game. Usually because I've destroyed it at the end of the unvictorious 4th quarter. Actually, I've ripped off a shirt and burned it mid-game, replacing it with a shirt that I feel is luckier.

Usually get a burger from Backyard Burger, or make a pot of chilli. Thankfully, not much else.

1st, because I was running late to a party to watch the Clemson game in 2008, grabbed a burger from there, and then the game happened. It's been pretty good since.

I don't have any. I'm completely fine doing something different before and during each game.

I always try to find a new shaker after the first game. I bring the same shaker to every game until our first loss. I then throw it on the ground since it's now cursed. I have to wait until the next game to get a new shaker since all the ones left after the loss are cursed too. After the National Championship game I retire the shaker, and frame it.

I'm not superstitious so I don't do anything for the purpose of bringing luck.

I generally hang my Bama flag at around sunrise on game day and then we go to an early breakfast. During the day before the Bama game, I mix in household chores with watching other games.

Each season, I try to have the same snack all season long during the game. Last year, it was sunflower seeds. Year before, it rootbeer floats. Boiled peanuts one year. This year, I plan to have orange floats. No, I don't like teams that wear orange but I do like orange floats with Blue Bell Homemade vanilla ice cream.

I don't wear Bama gear during the day unless I'm watching the game outside the house.

I usually don't really do anything special. Home games usually consist of an adderall in the morning mixed with a nice amount of whiskey.

Last year I did wear my Trent Richardson jersey during every game, but forgot to wash it before the A&M game. I made sure to wear it every game after that. Sorry for causing the loss guys.

Meh. It was the 2010 IB, so I'm not even embarrassed. Feel like I held it together pretty well for the circumstances.

Before the big games, or any sec game I always have sex before the game to relax. And if the girlfriend is raggin or not around, I whack off.

It's only weird if it doesn't work.

For away games that I don't attend, there is a spot at the Houndstooth where I stand all game.

Don't get in my spot, I'm undefeated in that spot.

Home games:
Tradition video and a little Soundgarden.

I take a shot of makers when I wake up. Dead serious. Every gameday.

Also will usually only the same shirt for gameday all season long. Yes I wash it between games.

This is for 2:30 or late games.

7:30am - Wake up, beer, shower, get ready.
9am - Houndstooth for Bloody Marys
11am - Gallettes for Yellow Hammers
12 - Back to the tailgate for more drinking and wimmenz until game

That was my routine while I was at UA. Next year I'll post my new rituals.

Back in the pre-Saban years, we'd wait until after each loss, pick something that we did that day that might have been bad luck and say "Well, we won't frickin' do that again!!"

By the end of Shula's time, we just sat on the couch and stared at the TV.

Wake up ready to hit somebody, calm down and drive to Ttown, set up tents, grill and walk to stadium. Return for victory beer. It's great to be...
