What is YOUR particular superstition?

Seems like whenever I make chili or put out the UT Big Orange flag we lose.

Thinking I would try to change it up this year, I put out the flag and made chili for App. St.

Not sure if that helped or almost cost us the game, but at least we got the W.

If I am going to watch, I have to at least see the opening kickoff, better yet, the coin toss, then the Anthem, etc. The more preliminaries I see the better chance we have of winning. Don't see even the kickoff.... that's baaaad.

Superstition does exist, because it's in the minds of the individuals who hold them.

Luck also exists. It just isn't influenced by the color of your shirt, socks or underwear. Those things may give you some confidence in the final outcome. Placebos (sugar pills) have been shown to have some effect in treating various ailments. This is due to the person believing they will work. But they don't really do anything. Your "lucky shirt" makes you feel better, but has less effect than a placebo.

Ask me, and I will say we were "lucky" when Stoerner fumbled the ball in '98, disregarding that Billy Ratliff pushed the guard that caused Sterner to stumble and fumble. In my mind, it was still a lucky play, for all those things to happen as they did.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Me? If the Vols are LOSING, then Iwill watch to the bitter end. But if they go up (preferably good and up ) , I will turn the tv to something like Dangerous catch or some other bulls$@&" and flip back and forth between downs.

Deadliest catch?

I bought my then 4 yr old little girl a miniature stuffed Smokey a couple of years back. Now, every game day, she comes and places it on my shoulder and says "good luck daddy".
I know that's sounds more of a tradition than superstition but now I feel it would be bad luck if she didn't.

That's sweet. Glad you and her share that!

I was wearing my brand new "Go Vols" bra during the Appy game.

Now it's my unlucky bra.

Dang; I liked that bra.

If I'm sitting a certain way on the couch and we start sucking I will change positions somehow thinking it may affect the game. And if I'm sitting a certain way and we get a string of good plays I will sit in the same position until we score or until a bad play happens

Same.
