Do you have any superstitions related to Kansas basketball?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on March 29, 2012
“Gotta trim the ’stache and the rest is clean-shaven, all through the tournament.”
“Not since I was a kid.”
“I come from a really superstitious background, but I know it’s all made up. I’m rooting for KU but it’s however they play. If they don’t win, my video won’t be watched as much. ”
“I’m rocking the rally ’stache until we lose.”
“No, I’m not really interested in sports. ”

Just hoping they don't win so we can watch how many excuses the worst fans in college sports, possibly any sports, can come up with besides the actual play of the team because we all know they are Gods incapable of errors. Then we can be done with the fans for another year!

GO HAWKS WOOT WIN SO I CAN RUB IT IN LOKI'S FACE! MUAHAHA

Abslutely proved my point about KU fans. There is a difference between having pride in your team and determing that because someone isn't a KU fan they have their "feet stuck in the mud of life and blame others."

I always heard if you don't bring your balls you might as well stay home.

I hears Danny may be learnin' the Tulsa Two Step and be kickin' up clouds of red dust. Good for him. Tulsa could become a contender.

Yes autie, there are others. But I was the first to be picked last on the playground . . .

My ritual before a KU tourney game is to play, "Midnight Blue" by Lou Gramm.

My list of pre-game and game rituals is in the double digits and too lengthy to list here.

Not related to Kansas basketball.

My pregame ritual is to scowl (quietly) then "enjoy" the game. Mrs Roe was "Queen of Courts" in '69 at her alma mater and is the sports enthusiast in our abode. Yesterday we got the 2 year old grandaughter her first Final Four t-shirt. For a guy that always got picked last I think I did all right.
RCJH !!

Jeez, I know what you mean Rara. I've been wearin' this porno mustache since '71 and threaten to shave it off weekly (weakly?). Only thing is, the whole fam damnly swear they'll dis-own me if I do. I must be one ugly dog without a little facial hair to distract from it. Hell, I could always wear a hoodie . . . I guess . . .

So that's what's up with the nail biter victories. You guys & your facial hair equals too many close shaves! Just before tipoff of every game at The Dance, I remind the Gods of Roundball that Jo Jo was in bounds by at least a foot & that they can never do enough to right the injustice. Glory Road should've led to Naismith Drive.

Yes, if the team wins, there will be a ground swell, of unruly crowds, drunkenness, litter and bores.

At midnight before each game day, I find the biggest roundabout in Lawrence and right in the center of the pentagram (they all have them), I offer a human soul to my lord and master.
I know I shouldn't have told everyone, now all the roundabouts are going to be busy and there may actually be a line.

I try to avoid making proclamations about what should or should not happen after we win the championship game before we even win the semi-final game. Especially when the NBA D-League Wildcats are in the mix.

My wife wears just her KU T-Shirt.
