Crown every quarter seems to be pretty popular.  Definitely adding that to my list.

I'm also thinking I'll layoff the bets this year as well.

You guys with the altars, need to get us some pics.  Put 'em in your avatar. (Or Advatar if you're transgendered, always wanting a little 'd' where it don't belong).

That could get rough when Northwestern comes to town.

Being a loyal Buckeye, I have worn S&G to work on Fridays before game days for 30 years, on Sat morning I put up the Block O flag, and I never answer the phone while the game is on.

I just keep it simple. 

1. Orange golf shirt on Friday, or whatever day before the game. 

2. I have a little Smokey mascot and 2 Orange and White pom-poms that never leave my side during the game, whether on TV or listening on internet. 

3. Only Diet Pepsi is consumed during the game. 

4. After game, always listen to the postgame show on the internet.

5. And I absolutely NEVER bet on anything anymore.  Learned too many lessons in college.

  1. Wear Teddy Ginn Jersey with my gray long sleeve undershirt.  I've changed the undershirt 3 times (thinking what's the worst that can happen) and they lost to Florida, LSU, and Illinois.  I shall not make the same mistake again whether the shirt is dirty or not.
  2. Go the bowl game.  OSU has never lost a bowl game I was in attendance for.  I must suck it up this year and pay the price that's necessary to ensure a win.
  3. Never get too excited for scoring first: see Florida, LSU, and Illinois games. 
  4. Ensure a victory or criticize another team.  I never done this but I just feel pre-game trash talk always results in bad karma and OSU losing would be exactly what I deserve.
  5. I don't watch the game with people who could care less if OSU loses.  Not much to add here - it just makes me mad with their "ahhh well, there's always next year/week" attitude.  More of a pet peeve than a superstition.

There will be more added for this particular year.  When a routine is proven to work - I will mimic that routine.  Go Bucks

Never, ever trash talk before or during the game. We could be up by 50 at the half, but I'll never say anything bad about the opposition until 00:00 of the 4th quarter. I always wear the same OSU tshirt  underneath my jersey, sweater, hoodie, jacket, or whatever I'm wearing based on the unpredictable weather in Columbus during the fall.  I've been a groomsman and bestman at 2 weddings the past 2 years and they were both on gameday. I will never understand why people get married on saturdays during the fall. Anyways, I wore the OSU tshirt underneath my tux both times. Against Florida for the championship game, I decided to not wear the tshirt and wear a scarlet La Coste polo.  I didn't pay any attention to it until after the game, La Coste's logo is an alligator.

Don't worry, you can get pretty cheap tickets to the Outback Bowl, and hitch a ride with Vols, so the price won't be that bad....

As disappointing as it would be to end up at the Outback Bowl considering the hype going into the season, I love attending bowl games - you get to drink beer in the stadium and it's just one big party.  I think I remember you saying you went to the '06 Title Game so you know what I'm talking about.  So if I end up at the outback bowl come January - I won't pout too much.

BTW, I expect LSU or Auburn in the outback bowl, not Tennessee  Maybe 0-9 will become 1-9 and then we can complain about how we would have beaten the National Champions b/c we beat a lesser team in a lesser bowl game.... (not a UF reference so don't think I'm criticizing you or your fan base)
