REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I was just wondering if any of you do anything strange for the game. I go to the same friends house every kickoff and we set up a Sean Taylor Memorial in front of the TV set. I lay out the #21 towel from the game after he died. There are the same $20 bill and $1 bill that have been on the towel on the 2 and 1 respectively. A 75 anniversary shirt that I got while I was playing flag football on FedEX Field, WHILE DEXTER MANLEY was watching the game. Two of the car window flags. The Gibbs throwback solid gold "R" redskins hat. The Sports Specialties hat from back in the day that used to match the Starter jackets. It started off as the towel and a candle but now it has evolved into this pre-ordained necessity amonst my friends. (In our defense, we started this the game after Teezy died and so far we've lost three times, the Bills, Seahawks, and Giants)
Anyway, just trying to se if other fans do similar things. Some people sit in the same seats or wear the same clothes. What are your wacky game, pregame, and post game rituals. And let's just assume massive amounts of beers fellas, be creative lol

i have 3 jersey's, a cooley, washington and portis... if we win a game ill wear the same jersey on gameday until we lose, once we lose the jersey is rotated along, not nearly as elaborate as your scheme, but thats what i do.

I do pretty much the same thing with D. Green, Portis, Springs, and Campbell. I've been on Green since the Saints game. Hopefully, I won't have to switch it out for a while.

Anything more than Jerseys would be too much for me lol

Ive been sittin with my cooley jersey although i might have to retire it, its a replica and i wasnt paying attention and threw it in the dryer and now the numbers are all f'd up.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I sleep for about 3 hours the night before the game, then I wake up and smoke a fatty.:Smoker:

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I wear my throwback 75th white Sellers jersey and my REAL 21 towel.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I make a prediction here in the prediction thread (I didn't the first week and have been since that first loss and we've won) I also come here and post in the gameday thread. Seems to be lucky as well. :) I also make sure to wear my ST jersey to class every Monday!

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

i wear the same shirt,drink out of the same cup, avoid predictions,and click here on the gamethread before every game.and i only change channels at halftime.ialso always keep my fingers crossed,and make sure nobody bothers me during the game.

you keep your fingers crossed for the entire game?

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

Same Drawer's. Same Shirt. Same Sh**

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I've worn the same Redskin shorts, muscle shirt, hat, and watch since New Orleans. There's other Skins stuff I want to wear but I'm not changing as long as we continue to win.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I watch the movies "Gladiator" or "Any Given Sunday" the night before since the 2005 season

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I always play our next opponent on madden the night before the game. Other than that I just make sure I'm there for my team. oh, and I drink my F#$%in ass off.

[quote=InsanePianist;485000]you keep your fingers crossed for the entire game?[/quote]
[B]Yes,[/B]
basically left hand only, (keeps right hand free for consumables)and index and middle finger. Right hand only if the skins are in DEEP sh....
You see, this is a science, not some nonsense, Witchcraft, or Shamanism (although a smattering of Santeria has been known to extend effective field goal range) founded in empirical research, and brought to bear through proven time tested means.
1) finger crossed as described earler
2) Hat, JOE classic "R" in Burgundy
3) Jersey, currently Portis 75th in white
If things do not go well, it really gets messy

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I always wear either my T21 jersey or my Cooley jersey, along with my black R redskins hat (the one Joe used to wear). I can never miss a play, if I miss a play I feel like I am downgrading our chances of winning. But yeah that's pretty much it, I keep it simple.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

lol im not one to think anything at i do outside the stadium will help our skins win but the people i watch games with are just like you all.

if your outside smoking a cigarette and something good happens you cant come back in until the "mojo" wears off.

if your outside and something bad happens you cant got back out.

countless hours spent determining what jersey will make the skins win.

ive even seen someone not allowed out of the bathroom because good things started happening on the field. now that would suck stuck in the john when the skins are doing things.

i am not a "ritual" believer but others seem to enjoy it so i follow along to a point, i def wouldnt have stayed in the bathroom.

oh actually i do have a weekly ritual, sudden screaming outbursts at the TV with a profane laced tirade using words i didnt even know i knew.

go skins!

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I used to do the jersey thing and wear the same one until we lost. Portis, Campbell, Washington etc...

But this year I was out of town with clients for our first game and did not wear any gear. Week two I put on my Skins hoodie with a Skins tee under it and Skins hat, and when I got reay for the game I forgot to start with a jersey. So since then I have been wearing the same things. Also I play Hail to the Redskins on my phone everytime we score just like they do at FedEx.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I'm limited to what I can do here in Japan. Games come on at 2 a.m, and the housing here are pretty much like apartments. I wear my Pro Bowl ST jersey from last year, and I keep my Nerf redskins ball to throw at the wall when I get mad because I can't yell at the T.V or the everyone will get pissed.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

This is a good thread! Some funny stuff here.

I almost always wear my Sean Taylor jersey and one of my Redskins hats, but I just happened to not have on ANY Redskins attire whatsoever during the New Orleans game (which I was watching alone in my living room), and we won. So since then I haven't worn a single thread of Redskins attire, and we've won every game.

So what will I be wearing tomorrow? My Gator hat, a plain white v-neck T-shirt, and jeans. That's what I've worn every game starting week 2. And that's what I will continue to wear until we lose. HAIL damn it, hail!

do you get a live feed or is it delayed on armed forces radio and tv?

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I make sure I hang my Redskins flag outside on my garage, and wear one of my many autographed hats. Like others, I failed on the first week against the Giants and we all know what happened, sorry guys, it is my fault we lost. Last Sunday, after we won, my 14 year old son took our flag and hung it on our nextdoor neighbor's garage, who is a Dallas fan (she was actually at the game in Dallas). Well, she has kept it all week long... I told Nathan he needed to make sure he got it back from her because I would hate for a loss to the Eagles be on HIS shoulders. We haven't seen her all week, but Nathan has the code to her garage opener... he went and got it himself. I just hung it up... so we should be all good today.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

Ive got kind of a good one, but its recent...

I just got back from SE Asia, where I was for the first 3 games of the season. As soon as I left I realized that I had forgotten to pack my Portis jersey, that I normally wear to all the games. I am REALLY superstitious so I worried for the first month of my trip that I had jinxed us. And after watching the first game against the Giants, I was sure that I had...

So I scoured the better part of SE Asia looking for a Skins jersey (Id have settled for a 1995 Heath Shuler jersey if thats what it took) but there was nothing at all. Finally, getting desperate, I found a shop in Cambodia that advertised custom name and number soccer jerseys. I went in, picked the one that most closely resembled the Skins (incidentally, the Spanish National Team, I think) and ordered myself a Laron Landry soccer jersey...the thing looks ridiculous, but at least it is (sort of) a Skins jersey!

I think we all know what happened for the next three games, and after that Cowboys win I am convinced that it has got to be a magic jersey. So if we keep winning, remember not to make fun of the guy at FedEx with the absurd looking Laron Landry soccer jersey!

Here's me in Cambodia all psyched about my new "jersey"...

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

well as for me..i have a ritual i started 3 weeks ago...i call my 4 year old daughter before 11 am...and get her to say GO REDSKINS! and thus far 3-0 since i have been having her do that. I couldnt call her opening night she was in bed before kickoff....

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I wear a "Redskins Dad" t-shirt that I bought at FedEx Field every Sunday.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I wear my #47 Chris Cooley "game-watching" jersey. And thanks for reminding me about this!

im with you on that

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I have not shaved on Sunday morning since we started our win streak. Also I wash and continue to wear the same Jersey and shorts. Fatigue shorts and a white 21 jersey. Don't think I will be changing the routine yet. Although it will be getting to cold for shorts soon.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

This year I'm not doing much really, usually wearing my hat and that's it... i've brought out the hoghead a few times, but this week i just went casual with the hat

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

holy shit I didn't drink till after the game

Looks like my Redskins attire will be staying the closet for yet another game. :)

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I wear a Redskins wrist sweat band and Redskins baseball jersey.(its a little different, but stands out) Neither get washed till we lose.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

Ledo's pizza...thats it

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

I wear my Riggins jersey and the wife wears her Redskins lingerie and we f%$# our asses off. And if I bust when shes on top we win. So the theme song around my house on sundays is "ridin dirty". No Im kiddin but you gotta admit that was a good one. I wear the same outfit that I wore to my first Redskins game. Last year the dallas game in December.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

So I missed the game today, and when I have to miss a game I usually have Gmanc text me score updates. That's risky, because we don't have the best track record when that happens. But I took a gamble today...and the curse has been broken!

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

After the loss to NYG, I stopped wearing anything Redskins during a game. After the end of the 1st Qtr today, I threw on my Campbell Jersey to spark the team...I believe it did the trick.

Campbell jersey on from now on.

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
 

Cool, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. Well I am kind of on sundays but hey, I cant help it
