    I realized around week 11 that I hadn't had a haircut all season, and I really need one, yet I decided not to jinx the Phins by cutting off all of that good mojo, so here I sit with a full mop head, refusing to cut it till the season is completely over.

    Then I started wondering what superstions my fellow Dolphin fans are sticking to, in order to keep the team winning. Lucky hats, same foods etc...

    Whatever everybody has done, or hasn't done, keep doing it, we're almost there!

    Colorado Dolfan ...dirty drownin' man?

    I have to wear my 'Phins jersey...

    The two games I didn't wear my jersey this year, we're 0-2...

    I didn't get my jersey on until just before half-time of this last game and then look what happened... :lol:

    I cheer loudly during positive plays...sometimes I dont find myself cheering enough...I notice those are the weeks we lose.

    So I always hope to cheer alot each week!


    --sorry no superstitions for me--

    Not buying or receiving a Phins jersey. It's bad luck to do so (see Surtain, Madison, Chambers, Ricky I, Brian Griese, and Marino departures). Thank God for eBay or I wouldn't be able to unload all the ex-Dolphin jerseys. If anyone is not a fan of a particular player, please send me their jersey and they'll be gone the next year guaranteed (UoM fan offered to send me a discounted Ginn or Henne jersey, so watch out). Wearing it is fine though.

    I drink beer. When I didn't the first 2 weeks, we lost. But we still lost a few anyway when I drank.

    Screw it, either way I get drunk for celebration or sorrow.

    I need to have my jersey (Aqua Ginn or White Ricky) and my hat on before the game. If we're losing at halftime I take the hat off...if we're winning I keep it on.

    Great thread.

    I order a cheeseburger and onion rings around the 5:00 mark in the second quarter. I do it cause I'm hungry, but we haven't lost since I started the tradition.

    Excellent idea for a thread Jupiter.

    For me, mine is pretty simple. I've found that wearing an old K-State shirt is actually a lucky charm. In the 9 games I've worn it, we are 9-0. In the 6 games I haven't, we are 1-5.

    It's getting worn on Sunday, that's for sure.

    This is true...so true. Weird, but true.
    Not to "Dream" about the game. When i get too hyped up, like I read waaay to much stuff about upcoming game, I dream about it, and we lose. We dont always win when i dont dream..but when I have a dream (not just this season, in a looong time) We are like 0-12 we I dream of the game. Its sorta sad in a way..;/

    Since I stopped wearing dolphin gear we are 8-1. I wear the same t-shirt during the game. After the game I wash the shirt and put it away until next game.

    They haven't lost when i'm working during the game. I have to pay attention to the game through horrible and undescriptive updates on a bad cell phone, but each time im working they win.

    I was thinking about asking to not be scheduled to work on sunday this weekend, but to be honest, i think i should work...but i wanna watch it...

    oh the decision!

    Like I said in another post. I wear a pair of '73 Dolphin socks and what ever color jersey their wearing. I wear the socks only on game day and I don't wash them after a win. (and no they don't stink):tongue2:
    I light aqua & orange candles when I can actually watch the game.

    I take a dump usually every week at the half......that usually does the trick.....I don't usually eat until after the game is over as I am too nervous, but 11 am starts are great in Colorado. I am kind of worried now that we have been bumped to a 2:15 start (4:15 EST as it messes with my routine and my dump time).

    I have a Dan card that i buster out for the first game against the bills. Ive had it in hand every game since then except for the Pats game...i forgot it that day. So when the card is in my hand we are 8-0. You can 100% expect me to have that thing in hand come Sunday at 4:15.

    I get up early Sunday with my little girl and she puts on my grey fins hoodie until after breakfast. Then if the game is on TV I can't sit down to watch I've got to pace up and down the living room!

    My my, we have some superstitious Dolphin fans. Keep it up and I promise I won't cut the hair.

    To everybody that won't wash their lucky jerseys, socks etc... Stinky, but it's working :up:

    if you go to sleep the night before the game this week, we will kill you. In fact, we may kill you anyway, just to be sure that you can't screw us over anymore.

    Who wears a hoodie in September?

    Human?



    My superstition is directly related to past experience. When I go to a road game, they win (3-0). When I go to a home game, they lose. Only once have the Dolphins won while I was at Dolphin stadium (6 games, 1-5). So I'm never going to another game in Dolphin stadium again. :cry:Oh, and if you 'loyal' dolfans really want Miami to win this week, then you'll buy me a ticket and send me to New York to see the game.

    I don't really believe in superstitions, but I do the same thing every game: bet on us to cover and drink alot of Corona. It's worked 66% of the time this year:woot:

    Yeah, I did a couple years there in the mid to late 90's. Even lived at CVI once upon a time. I can't wait to attend a game at the new stadium, if I can get enough time off to get up there.
