Did anyone have pre-game rituals they had to do before a game?

Looking back I was :demonic:

When I played football, I'd pull that Bill Bellamy shyt from Any Given Sunday - but instead of saying "I can catch anything" it'd be "you won't catch anything". I was that a$$hole safety with no hands that was good for 1 late hit penalty every game :banderas:

in basketball I'd look for all the scouts in the crowd, figure out who they were there to see, and use that to play pissed off. I was out to embarrass people on defense since my team had legit scoring (had one guy to go Texas A&M, another to Miami, another to VCU, and one to ECU).

I was just one of those dudes who had to play angry and with the sole purpose of shytting on someone else. I didn't even like winning. Just loved to see other people lose.

Told this story before, but in high school before every football game I had to eat a Big Buford combo large sized with a pink lemonade and an apple pie from Rally's/Checkers. That was my only ritual.

10th grade...had to listen to Nas' Halftime on repeat while getting dressed. Wore a tOSU snapback to my games. Also used to give one of my teammate's pops a pound during warm ups.

Don't think I did anything else...honestly can't remember.

Not my ritual but this cat on my college team used to scream out the lyrics of Birdman Jr from the Carter every game right before we took the field.


Murder capital only key to survive is kill / If the elements don't murder you the riders will for real / And nikkas know I go hard to the fullest / Get involved and I got em playing dodge-ball wit bullets

I dont have rituals... but am..supersticious.. for lack of a better word

Like back when i played basketball i always noticed one thing: If i hit the first 3 jumpers i take in warm up I can pretty much go home or try not to shoot anything other than layups because aint sh!t gonna fall for me on jumpers that day.

Sounds silly but ive provens this to myself many times. It's like the rim says " i took these first 3 to make you feel good about yourself now go home"

Put my shoes on from right to left and if I forget and put the left on first I would untie them and start over.

Always have a pack of grape flavored big league chew before I play or berry flavored bubble tape

Always do 3 sets of 50 jump ropes to get warmed up

I have no pre-game rituals, as in something that is related to a mental superstition. I will warm-up and stretch before a game but that's about it.
