I’m predicting that the UAB coach makes a scene during the end of game handshake.

Here are some tongue-in-cheek, borderline ridiculous ways people might “break the curse” of a losing sports team:
  1. The Goat Reversal – Instead of banning goats from the stadium (like the Cubs’ curse), host a “Bring Your Goat to the Game” night. Bonus points if the goats wear jerseys.
  2. Jersey Exorcism – Hire a priest, rabbi, monk, and a witch doctor to circle the locker room chanting while burning last season’s uniforms.
  3. The Reverse Fan Wave – Everyone in the stadium has to do the wave backwards. If it syncs perfectly, the curse is broken.
  4. Sacrifice to the Sports Gods – Throw the head coach’s least favorite Gatorade flavor into the nearest volcano.
  5. Mascot Swap – Trade mascots with a team that actually wins. Maybe their luck rubs off.
  6. Ancient Ritual of Beer – Fans chug one beer facing north, one facing south, then collectively burp toward the field to “blow away the bad energy.”
  7. Burn the Foam Fingers – Gather in the parking lot and build a ceremonial bonfire of all the cursed foam fingers.
  8. Curse-Breaking Streaker – Send a streaker across the field wearing only a lucky rabbit’s foot necklace.
  9. Reverse Jinx Parade – Fans march around town yelling “We’re gonna lose again!” until the universe gets tired of the sarcasm and finally lets them win.
  10. Hire Nicolas Cage – If he can steal the Declaration of Independence, he can definitely steal a championship trophy for you.

Here’s a batch of sport-specific curse-breaking rituals that fit the ridiculous “only true fans would try this” category:

⚾ Baseball
  • Reverse Rally Cap – Fans wear their hats brim-first over their faces until the team scores.
  • The Ghost Batting Order – Announce Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Ken Griffey Jr. as pinch hitters before the game starts. Spirits get confused, curse is lifted.
  • Infield Salt Ceremony – Drag the infield not with chalk but with a trail of kosher salt. Evil spirits can’t cross it.
🏈 Football
  • Pigskin Sacrifice – Toss an actual football into a giant cauldron at midfield and chant “First Down Forever.”
  • Extra Point Pilgrimage – Every fan walks the distance of a missed field goal attempt in solemn silence.
  • Quarterback Hair Offering – The QB shaves off a lock of hair and buries it at the 50-yard line for luck.
🏀 Basketball
  • Free Throw Purge – Fans shoot rolled-up socks into trash cans at halftime. Every make adds one team point spiritually.
  • Rim Cleansing – Burn sage around both hoops before tip-off while the mascot spins in circles.
  • Reverse Dunk Ceremony – The tallest player must dunk on the shortest staff member in the arena to flip the bad karma.
🏒 Hockey
  • The Frozen Fish Toss – Instead of throwing octopus like Detroit, everyone throws frozen tilapia onto the ice. The more slippery, the better.
  • Penalty Box Confession – Each player sits in the penalty box and confesses what curse they brought upon the team (bad luck mullet, cursed stick, etc.).
  • Puck Baptism – Dunk the game puck into a cooler of Molson before the faceoff.
⚽ Soccer
  • Goalpost Hugging – Before kickoff, every player must hug both posts and whisper “forgive us.”
  • The Sacred Flop – Fans take turns dramatically diving on the ground in the parking lot until the curse spirit is satisfied.
  • Corner Kick Candlelight Vigil – Hold candles at each corner flag while chanting the team song in reverse.
