We all have our weird intricacies that we rationally know do not have an impact on a game being played hundreds of miles away by young men who do not even know you exist.

But on some base, instinctual level our brain tells us that it actually has an effect on the outcome. Or perhaps it just makes us feel more comfortable and tricks us into believing that we have some control over something that is actually completely out of our hands.

So what is it? What is your secret go to JUJU for when the going gets tough?

Mine is I must go outside and smoke, now vape, in my truck while listening to Eli Gold during halftime. During the game I have to sit in my recliner but without the foot rest extended.

Weird, but it feels like it works for me. So I do my part to help the team win lol.

I try to wear the same shirt each game until we lose in it. Luckily, we very seldom lose, so I don't have to get a new shirt very often.

Also, any particular thing I am doing during the game when something good happens, I keep doing it. Last night, we got back to our seats and I was about to take a drink when Jalen came in and started making plays. I refused to take a drink the rest of the game. You're welcome.

Last night I changed shirts twice and drank Miller Lite 16 ounce beers after halftime.

I haven't worn one shirt since the 2015 season and I stopped drinking that piss a while back.

When things are going poorly, or we need a big play, I kiss my wife. This has worked since the 2012 SEC championship game.

She had to work on Saturday and didn't make it home until the third quarter. It's weird, but it freaking works.


Also before every season I buy a new Alabama shirt that becomes the game day shirt for the season.

shirts that have not suffered a loss or poor showing, Sat nite, I changed 1st shirt before half time, then after the 3 out, I put on my special road white then when Jalen came in, I put on the 2015 (Jake Coker fighter) championship hat. (was rubbing / holding the 2017 championship hat, but didnt put it on)

German beer and pizza. Entire first half was my fault because the German beer I was drinking was only German in name and was actually Finnish beer.

I don't generally have good luck charms anymore but Saturday, when it looked bad for the good guys in the 2nd half, I put on a script A cap I've had good luck with. I guess it worked.

I go to the gym and get a 60min workout in (they play for 60 so I sweat for 60 lol) and I follow it up with a cup of coffee and oatmeal cream pie.

Legimately skipped the ocp for Citadel thinking I wouldn’t need it and was a little late for a conference downtown. At halftime I walked a mile and a half till I found a gas station that had one, bought it and ate it right in the store. I won’t make this mistake again.
