I know this has been a topic before. How superstitious are Cyclone fans? I feel like I have to recreate everything that was done for the previous Cyclone victory! I just moved our ping pong table back out where it was in the basement and moved the kids basketball hoop back to where it was last week for the Cyclone victory over Oklahoma. Also made sure the shirt I was wearing last week is clean and ready to wear tonight!!

Anybody got other things that must be done?

You shouldn't have washed the shirt and just wore it again! You washed the lucky out of it!

Before that upset of okie state during the Fred and big country days, my girlfriend and I at the time got friendly. So now before going to games I give her a call and hook up to keep the luck up. Wife isn't happy but she wants us to win also.

That's a true Cyclone fan. Thanks for taking one for the team!

BC, you've got a great wife or she has no idea that you post on CF.

My current streak is not getting into the Game Day Thread shortly after midnight, but waiting until morning. We haven't lost since I started this.

Tequila shots every time out. O the sacrifices I have to make for the clones.

There has to be pots and pans in the sink and I have to wash them when we're behind.

Dinner at El Azteca before the game. No cleanup necessary, and the food rocks!

Thanks for the best LOL (for reals) of the day!!

She is used to statements like this from me. I think she knows I'm joking, hasn't divorced me yet.

If there's more than a five-point run against the team, I assume that it is because i'm watching. So i switch to HGTV for 2 minutes then switch back - it's my little contribution to every win. :smile:

Last year we went to Applebee's (son got the Hoiburger) before the home Kansas game and the Big XII Championship game against KU. Tonight he is going to check out the Prohm Steak Burger to maintain the tradition. I am not a fan of Applebee's, but we all have to make sacrifices in the name of superstition.

I have 2 yellow shirts on today. Doubling up! Both have victories on their record (some were in Florida).
