one in five sports fans who say they do things in an attempt to bring good luck to their favorite team or avoid jinxing them, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Tuesday.
...
A nurse from Eldridge, Ala., Pate said she refuses to own a red car or purchase anything crimson. So when she recently had to spend time in a hospital after the birth of her twin sons, she was aghast when she noticed someone had brought her a pink toothbrush. Auburn promptly dropped two straight games.
Mario Alvarado, 40, of Houston leaves Houston Texans' football games if they are trailing. He did so Sunday and by the time he turned the game on at home, the Texans had taken a lead -- only to lose as the Tennessee Titans kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired.
"If I hadn't turned it on, I probably wouldn't have jinxed them,'' he said.
It just so happens that I am the 1 in 5. I can not wear Alabama apparel on game day or they will lose. I will not even touch an Alabama hat, shirt or anything with Alabama on game days. Also, Alabama's recent run of bad luck wasnt due to Mike Shula as everyone suspects, it was due to the fact that my wife got rid of the lucky couch in my den. Sorry bama fans.

Very funny. I'm glad the Texan's fan turned on his TV b/c I turned my off! I love the Titans! I watch the first few minutes of a game and then I turn it off or take a nap...almost every time they play. I do not EVER wear my Titans Hoodie that day. If I end up watching the game... They lose! My husband wants to go watch the Titans play the Dolphins one year... and I just can't let that happen. Although if we were gonna pick a year.. I think this would be a good year to break the curse
I have a friend who is not allowed to watch ANY Bama games due to the fact that everytime she does--they LOSE. She checks the score periodically. She puts some kind of curse or hex on them I suppose.
I always wear something orange when Auburn plays. Even if its just a pair of underwear, shirt, socks or hat. Something is going to be orange. Same goes for a NASCAR race.

AUFAN, you have orange underwear?
Hmmm...that's a little too much information.
Please when I see you, have on an orange shirt so that I won't be wondering about the rest.

I had my team colors flying on my car. Last week I had two flying, now I've only got the one. Also, my mother wears her Auburn shirt. My dad goes outside when things get tense. We alldo little things for our teams.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways ackowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
I am very supertious when it comes to kick offs. Every time I have missed one, my team lost. Therefore I do my best to watch. I sit thru the whole game usually on the floor. Couch or chair seem to bring bad luck. I also have an orange AU pillow that has suffered greatly this year but it is with me during the game .suffering by all the punches and hugs it gets.
I always wear something Alabama on game day! Even if I have to work I have a Bama shirt on underneath. And now that I have a new Bama hat from Buckblasta that I love I wear it everywhere...lol
