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"...

hahahahaha that's so ghetto but gully at the same time

props

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

Ledo's pizza...thats it

SeanTaGodsSafety · 10-05-2008, 07:12 PM

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.

SmootSmack · 10-05-2008, 07:14 PM

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!

dcweldon · 10-05-2008, 07:40 PM

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.

hucapn · 10-05-2008, 11:33 PM

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

SC Skins Fan · 10-06-2008, 08:12 AM

Here's one that I like. We have started eating a food that represents the opposing teams home city or region. Started by accident with New Orleans, then kept it going. I actually don't think it has anything to do with the team's performance but it is a good way to eat some different meals each Sunday.

New Orleans: Jumbalaya (W)
Arizona: Fajitas (W)
Dallas: Grilled New York Strips (don't care for Texas BBQ and cows, cowboys, pretty close) (W)
Philadelphia: Cheesesteaks (W)

On deck, St. Louis: Toasted Ravioli (?)

stone · 10-06-2008, 09:02 AM

I hold a football during the game... I didn't have it for the first quarter... but from the second quarter on I did... I hold the ball when the Skins are on offense and put the ball down on defense.... odd, but it worked... I just have to watch now because my son is an Eagles fan... just to get under my skin... and he told me he's going to burn that football... so I hid it

.... My wife says I'm pathetic but she just doesn't understand.

GO SKINS!!!!

slim*jim · 10-06-2008, 09:08 AM

if i happen to miss the start of the game and i tune in and the Skins are winning THEN start losing, i'll change the channel (my reasoning is that they had the EXACT amount of good kharma needed before i turned the game on, thus by turning it off all will be right with the world once again). if i watch from opening kickoff and they start losing (like yesterday when they were down 14-0) i'll turn it off and hope that by not watching it will negate any bad kharma...i also do this with the tarheels....i'll check the score from time to time and if they're making a comeback (like yesterday) i'll just keep it off my set but will check in. wierd i know.....

ArtMonkDrillz · 10-06-2008, 09:39 AM

I was very nervous yesterday because I had to watch the game over at my sister's house and I had been convinced that my 5 month old niece was bad luck. I've only watched a couple of games while in the same house as her this year and we lost everyone (the last two preseason games, the giants game, and most recently I had to watch my terps get completely embarassed by UVA with her).
I was devasted to see that f'ing Comcast Howard County was showing pro bull riding instead of the Redskins game yesterday so I rushed over to my sister's becuase she has Fios and gets all the DC stations in HD. After that BS punt return I demanded that my sister put my niece into her lucky Redskins cheerleader outfit because we were 3-0 when she wore it. Sure enough, she got the dress on her and the rest is history.

firstdown · 10-06-2008, 09:41 AM

Well I watch the games in my garage and grill out for all games rather its ribs wings burgers we jut grill something. The past two weeks we have not grilled anything do to one reason or the other but I said yesterday that te grill is off until we loose a game. That might be tough to do or maybe I'll grill stuff up before the game starts.
