Many fans are very superstitious during the regular season and especially in the playoffs and that got me wondering. If you have any pre-game ritual for the games that count, do you do the same thing for exhibition games?

I don't hang my Packers flag out on the morning of the pre season games because my wifes hanging flowers are in the way.

Not really a superstition, but it's related to rituals. Since football games tend to get me pumped up and commercial breaks allow for a lot of downtime during which I can do productive things, football season is generally when I start getting into better shape again. Pushups during commercials, a walk at halftime, that sort of thing. Same thing applies for preseason games.

Not for me. Not a very ritualistic person.

If I had a pre-game routine... probably... but alas I do not.

Most of the time, I tape and watch the game later. When I can pause and replay at will.

I have no pregame ritual for any game.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Years ago during the FOX pregame, I would shout "ON TAP" in unison with the FOX narrator guy person thing and felt that was a good 'omen' for the Packers. They stopped doing the On Tap thing and so did I.

The last 'ritual' or superstitious thing I did was during the end of the 2010 season I started doing the Insanity workout. If you've done them, you know you need extra motivation from time to time. Well, month two coincided with the playoffs and when I wanted to give up, I would tell myself "If I 'demand' the Packers give it that extra, I better do the same thing" ... or something on those lines. Basically, told myself I couldn't push others to push it if I was going to slack. I ripped through those final four weeks like a damn mad man.

As a kid I would also have my Packers blanket that my grandma gave me when I was about 11 years old during game day's. There was one game that sold me on it being legit. We've all been here before where you go "Why the hell are they losing? They are better than them!" and then I remember I didn't have my blanket. I grabbed the blanket and like clockwork, the Packers stormed back and won.

I also used to wear a Packers jersey. White if away, Green if home, but not really any superstition to it that I can remember.

During game days now I have too many things going on to worry about rituals or the like.
