I bought a Sean Weatherspoon jersey with some Christmas money, but I didn't get it until after the Bucs game so I haven't had a chance to wear it for a game yet.

What do you guys think, safe to wear? Otherwise I'll be wearing my normal falcons t-shirt.

I will definitely be watching the game at home (live in Omaha) because every time I watch at a bar we don't do so well.

I am so jacked for this game that I have literally been losing sleep over it the last couple of nights. Sunday can't come soon enough.

Go with what works. I got a cool Falcons shirt as a Christmas present last year, and we have lost everytime I wear it. I thought I would exorcise the demons by wearing it during the last Bucs game and we still lost. That shirt is still sitting in the dirty clothes bin so it doesn't touch any of my lucky apparel.

Lol I tried to do that but mine just doesn't grow out all that well it comes out really patchy so I just trimmed it and left a goatee lol

Haha.. my beard grows fine.. the stache is a bit lacking though. Makes me look like Abe Lincoln.

but... it's been a great season so far... so I'm sticking with it.

Can't decide on the Jerseys.. I got a Signed Turner jersey.. MR2 and MB3... Not sure what to wear. I might go with MB3 since people are like WTF?! When I sport it.. haha

For Christmas this year I gave tickets to my son, his fiancé, and my wife. I didn’t have the tickets at the time so I gave them a letter in the stocking which told about the tickets and thanked them for being loyal Falcons fans. I also mentioned in the letter that we would have an orientation briefing on Friday night 1/11/13. My future daughter in law thanked me for the gift and said she’d never been to a NFL football game before. She has no idea what awaits. She is not aware of the transformation into the 12th man. I have from Friday to Sunday to turn them all into delirious screaming, yelling, and crazed Falcon maniacs. Why- I was there on the rail for many years and before we left our seats from seeing the thrashing by the Packers, I told my wife we would never see our beloved team be #1 seed again in our lifetime but if we did, I’d do everything I could legally do to help this team get a “W”. Fast forward to Nov 2012…I bought the first front row field level seats I could get. If I won the lottery had a plan to buy every ticket on stubhub and hold a hog yelling contest with some Deliverance type good ole boys- the winners would be at the game behind the opposing team bench, but I didn’t win dammit! Instead it’s just going to be us… but with good training we can tilt this in our favor. I’m going to start with, “...if you’re not coughing up blood on Monday morning you weren’t loud enough!” We’ll get into proper face painting and improvised noise maker devices. This is not just a game it’s an opportunity to change an era. They may be frazzled and a little bit deaf after the fourth quarter on Sunday, but if we get a “W” it will be worth and the start of a brand new family tradition!smile.pngsmile.png

The only music I'm listening to all week in my car is the Falcons CD. (Yes, in fact, there is a Falcons CD.)

For gameday, I'm going to gather all my Falcons possessions into my living room (and I essentially own the gift shop at this point). Need as much good energy in there as possible.

I have a stuffed Freddie the Falcon, but everytime I bring him out to "watch" the game from a perch on the couch, we lose. So he's not coming anywhere near the game. In fact, perhaps I should just toss him and his losing ways to the fireplace at kick-off? As a symbolic gesture?

I'll do whatever it takes. We are GOING to win this game. biggrin.png

I have that CD! The music on it is pretty terrible though...

It's funny to me how so many have these rituals for good luck. I admit too, sometimes I feel like I should or should not do, say, or even think certain things. It's really silly though.

But it's even sillier when you think about the fact their fans will be doing their own little rituals for good luck LOL. So if there was something to it, it probably cancels out lol

the Bud Light commercials got me and my 11yr. old son doing the rituals. My wife hates it.

I am not going to talk smack and say the Falcons are going to destroy the Seahawks. All the times in the past when I bragged on the Falcons they didn't show up for the game and made me look like a fool. I am keeping my mouth shut they seem to do better when I don't brag on them lol
