IT'S LIKE MAGIC, ONLY REAL

[wusphlash]

With apologies to Bud Light.

I'm not superstitious but....when our guys are shooting free throws at key moments in the game, I watch the video board rather than the floor.

What do you do to help the Shocks win?


Or, this could be named "It's only weird if it doesn't work".

I close my eyes and wait to hear the roar of the crowd to know the FT was good.

[shock]

Rapidly flex my left butt cheek while holding my head slightly to the right, puffing my cheeks while holding the lobe of my left ear with my right arm. However, if I can lick my elbow and dry if off on my ear, I don't have to do anything at all.

I always find myself wondering if it would be a little easier on the shooter if the crowd made a little noise instead of being dead silent(except for the one opposing fan yelling MISS!). Maybe even the same clap we do when we start each half?

I can't wear hats to games or else we'll lose.

The best way for our players to make free throws is to make sure Mike Kennedy or Dave Dahl don't mention how many free throws they've made in a row.

In HS I made sure my fellow students knew not to be completely silent. I always felt more comfortable with a little noise. Not sure if that's normal or not though

There's an art to shooting free throws. Your routine should start as soon as you get fouled. The only thought should be make him pay for the foul. Your routine is the same every time. Your teammates should leave you alone to complete your routine and put points on the board. Practice it enough and you don't hear if the crowd is silent or roaring like jet a engine. Free throws will win games for you and also make a majority of the fans hold there breath like I do.

This thread isn't just about helping with free throws. What do you do to help them win games? What superstitions do yo have?

[ShockerFan87]

I have to wear the same clothes for every game- all the way down to socks and boxers.

Also, I can't watch a game at home. The only two games I watched at home last year were our losses to CU and Drake. It's all my fault. Sorry.

It's all about you, and the back or the front of the rim, which ever you focus on.

I was always a back of the rim shooter. I guess most people are front of the rim shooters but I always liked the back.

I slaughter the fattened calf before each game.


Too much? Then you are not a true fan and can't come over for BBQ before each game.

Its got to smell better than goat. Back in the day when the US of A was training Iranians to fly f-14's they were trained at Pensacola NAS and at the end of the day several would congregate at one of their BOQ's and cook goat. I don't know if they put the damn thing over the coals with hair still on it or what but it would clear the quad in a hurry.

I made some squirrel gumbo and my roommate took some of the leftover squirrel meat and mixed it with some peas and that really stank the apartment up. I had to leave, it was one of the worst smells
