I'm just waiting for the excuse. Anyone else see Syracuse lost too? That should put us ahead of them for sure.

Watch and do not post in the gameday thread. Started it when we were on our losing streak. Couldn't watch @WVU (ESPNU) and liked a post - unliked it, but too late.

I've got a sweatshirt that I always wear for ISU basketball games, and I only wash it after a loss to cleanse it of all the bad mojo. The beginning of the season was pretty rough...

Speaking of superstitions and ISU tournament basketball... back in 96 when we beat Kansas to win the Big 8 tournament championship, I held a mouthful of Mountain Dew in my mouth for the entire second half of the game and finally swallowed it when we won. Crazy, I know. I would have been 11 years old at the time. It just seemed like whenever I would drink some Mountain Dew they would do something good... and I was running out of pop, so I just held the last gulp in my mouth. It's not crazy if it worked right?

Wore my ISU bball shirt that I wore when we beat Michigan, thawed out a ring of Pella Bologna from my last trip to Iowa, and had some mountain dew. As luck would have it, have 1 ring of PB left in the freezer, so it should be thawed out my tomorrow night and will have the shirt washed in the morning. Or maybe I shouldn't wash it at all...

The only Iowa State-ish thing we did was drink Coke out of our I-State mugs. I'm wearing jeans and a purple hoody, husband was wearing a plain white t-shirt and black athletic shorts.

Now I'm a touch skittish to wear anything ISU.

I'm going to have my 2yr old wear the same shirt she had on the past 2 days. Seemed to work. She was at the Kansas and Baylor games we won at home in the 2011-2012 season, she is a bit of good luck. ;)
