Okay so here's the new weekly topic, it has appeared in the past but I want you guys to still do it. Srsly, new season. New mindset.
ESPN recently published an article on how fans feel about superstition. It's a bit familiar to all of us, and I know I am freaking insane when it comes to this stuff.
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.
- Has something similiar happened where you feel a loss or a bad outcome was because of an event that happened to you?
- Do you have your lucky things? How did it become lucky?
Or you can talk about Oprah. Your call.

Um yeah, I can't even talk about my superstitions and jinxes.
I am a total mess on game day. Choosing which articles of clothing, even down to which pair of glasses I wear (I have 4 pair) is a total struggle.
"Should I wear this because it worked last time?"
"I dunno, we have a good chance of losing tonight, maybe I won't wear this so if we do lose I won't get any jinx on it."
I was at Target the other day and was going to buy some orange and black socks (yay Halloween season). I already bought a pair of these particular socks, and they had been pretty lucky. I picked up two more pair and put them in my cart. But then I got to thinking: "what happens when I wash all 3 pairs at the same time? how will I know which ones are the original lucky ones?" and "won't I be diluting the luck of the first pair by buying two more pair?" The socks came out of the cart.
I know this is totally irrational behavior, but I can't help it. I also know that what I wear does not in any way affect the outcome of the game. Somehow though, I can't stop!
omg, I totally know what I'm going to write about!
