What Superstitions/rituals/etc. Are You Indulging to Help OSU Win a Natty?

It's nearly go-time. None of us want to be That Guy - the one who wore the unlucky socks, forgot to wear the charmed hat, or otherwise screwed up this postseason. 

What are you doing to help or avoid hurting the Buckeyes in the days before the championship? What are you doing on Monday to bring the good karma and avoid the bad juju?

My actions have shifted over time because of getting older and going through more games. The lucky ritual in the 2014-15 playoffs failed in the 2020 natty. My lucky hat that clearly won us the 2016 Michigan game fell apart in 2019 against Clemson. 

This year, I have two things: 1) I refuse to read or listen to any retrospective things about this season. Doug and Bill can cram it with their podcast about how everyone feels about this roller coaster ride - we are still on the top hill. I can't even read Sawyer's letter until we are across the line. I only want to talk and read about ball. 2) I can't tell you what, but I made a critical in-home decision moments before Treveyon housed his screen pass, and it held up through the second half. 

What do you have going on?
