Do you wear the same shirt? Sit in the same chair every game? Eat the same food? Let's hear em.
Your UK superstitions
- Thread starter FurdTurgason
- Start date
My Diet Coke has to be in the right side cup holder in my car.
If I turn on a game and we're ahead, I immediately turn it off. Contrary to what many of you think my viewership is the controlling jinx. Not yours.
I really don’t have any superstitions before the game. It’s when the game is going that it happens. I’ve made my wife change shirts before and also made her leave the room if we are playing well then she sits to watch it and then start playing poorly. She would watch from a different room. Just to be clear I didn’t make her leave but asked her to leave the room. And I totally explained it was her fault why we were playing poorly. Lol.
I'll wear one of my UK shirts and if we're playing terrible I'll turn off the TV and start watching passively on the Internet. We'll usually come back but I'll wait until the win is in hand before I turn the TV back on.
If we lose a game it's always the refs or the wrong gameday shirt choice.
No, all of the shirts I would wear were all Kentucky Blue T-shirts for the duration of their Tournament run. However long that might be. 1st Round-winning it all on that first Monday in April.
I used to think that outcomes were dependent on my watching the game. That the players needed the support of television viewers. Obviously very delusional thinking 
.
I now believe that if I close the game before it's over, then there's a fifty fifty chance I won't know the outcome. Something about a cat in a box.

Not a superstition but I don’t watch with other people. And if I do happen to (extremely rare event but sometimes necessary) you better know the damn game and root for the good guys.
I go to the dish cabinet where my wife have multiple color plates. Red, white, yellow, green, blue, blue and white checkers. I make sure Red is at the bottom of the stack, followed by green and yellow. Then I stagger the blue/white/checkered plates. Odd one I know.
My wife has a UT hat and I make sure I cannot see it on game day. My LSU hat I wear typically the day of an LSU game but change to UK before game time (odd again).
I have UT orange undies that I make sure are at the bottom of the stack on UT Game days. lol

Will not wear a new UK shirt during the season. Have the same seat in the house which is in the floor in front of the tv.
Annoyances during the season: Watching games with people. I will kick people out of the room if they talk or ask questions about the game.

Always put on my tennis shoes for games. Good for nervous pacing and ready for Cal to call my number at any time to go in.
I record all the games and only watch the ones we win. I tend to break things during live play when things go south.
Same. I will not wear UK gear during a season UNLESS I start with the first game AND it's a win.
Beer cheese from the bar down the street, Ritz crackers for the cheese and a two liter of Mt. Dew. Every game since 1985.
I slaughter 6 she goats before every game and if we win I drink the blood and if we lose I defecate on random strangers.
Im just not the superstitious type; sorry.

I once had a magic hat. That magic hat took us far in 1995 then I threw it 2 min into the UNC game which I had done 50 times that season. The clip busted and I knew we would lose. I also changed shirts in 2015 after we made the final four. I bought on in Cleveland and decided to wear that against Wisconsin. I’m sorry bbn
I have been known to "coach" the team from the comfort of my living room. Somehow they can really hear me. At times I'm a great motivator.
Coach Rupp believed if he found a hair pin the day of a game it was good luck
When I got to UK in 1969 as head manager
Hair pins were out of style Bill Keightley sent me to Woolworth to buy hair pins
I always walked Adolph over to Memorial Colosium and scattered hair pins on
Sidewalk
I made sure Rupp found them he was happy
As could be

The last few years have been a blur, I try to get my mind and body relaxed before the game. If we are playing well I watch the second half. If I have that bad feeling I usually burn another small blue candle (made of paper) and read about it the next day.
Dam! Only 250, but I'm 6'3' so I'm doing alright. Taking shots from the cheap sheets.
lol just having a lil fun with you Whiskey.
Im 6’3 also but nowhere near 250; probably 285-290 so I guess the joke is on me!
