Not sure what this has to do with anything but good for you.

You’re the one who brought up the topic by saying go coach a little league team. Just replying that I’ve been there, done that and probably will again.

I’m beginning to think you’re trolling at this point.

On 1/9/12, I was driving down US 75 in Dallas to head to a buddy’s to watch LSU beat Bama for the title. On the way, there was a HUGE billboard purchased for recruiting by the University of Alabama. I was filled with a sense of dread and knew it was an omen. First of all, it was out of place. Why there? In Dallas? I drive 75 all of the time and had not seen it til that very day. Second, we got hammered. Did that billboard effect the kids playing the game? No.

You have to be some kind of faithless prick to think that the universe isn’t speaking to us and to make fun of those who choose to connect with that energy. There are things we can’t explain despite all of the scientific advances we’ve made. How do you know that person is the one? Why are you attracted to one group of people but not another? How is it that one Company sees the benefit of hiring you but another doesn’t when you’ve submitted the same skills on the same resume?

I don’t know why that billboard appeared on that very day to me. But it was a literal sign that we were going to lose. And we did. Bigly.

I haven’t shaved my face since the first game of the year. I told myself I wouldn’t shave until we lost. My gf hates it, my family thinks it looks like pubic hair and people that I haven’t seen in awhile don’t recognize me. All I can say is I’m not touching this thing until Tuesday. When we win it all on Monday it will all be worth it.

Being a former player, I knew I was going to be in the game and would have some direct impact on the game. As a fan I have lost that sense of control so to regain it I wear a certain shirt.

If you are going to poke fun at superstitions why don’t you just go all the way and question why we even care at all about the outcome of a sporting event. Afterall, in comparison to world peace and life and death issues everything is meaningless. Geez.

Now, I’ll go shave and make sure I use the green (money) after shave as opposed to the blue (the blues) after shave.

Why do people think their own private little superstitions have any impact on this game (or any game).

Because frick you...that's why.

Do you even many universes theory, bro?

It’s kind of like people thinking their break down of an opposing team is going to help the game. They are not coaching the game though, so what does it really do? Or fans talking trash on message boards, like that actually helps the team.

It’s just fun. I’ll be wearing my LSU scarf and gold shoes that I wore every game this year...just in case... and it’s fun. Enjoy the ride. It’s rare!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!

Why are you so butthurt one day before the game, OP?

Great now you just jinxed us a-hole

I was wondering when the real a-hole would show up. Do you have on your purple panties? Or your gold bra?
