I have an important question for you all...

by ThorpeBroncosfan on Sep 19, 2008 2:12 PM MDT

Last week I wore a new pair of the orange Broncos work out shorts my wife gave me for my Birthday. So should I wear them again on Sunday or only when we play the chargets? What are some of your game day superstitions?

I've been busy lately but I wanted to say I told you Eddie would work his way in to the line up. I'm over my 60 days of morning for Mr. Lynch so now I have a new aviatar.

Good question Thorpe.

The official view of MHR University on superstition situations like this works this way:

If it worked, keep doing it (regardless of who the opponent is). If it stops working, stop doing this. The exception is if you have a strong, inner voice telling you that the superstition will or won’t work. Follow your gut.

Unless that voice tells you to do something really stupid.

You can’t always trust those voices from beyond.

Following my gut

That it was my new orange and blue shirt, and not the old Broncos hat I lost out carousing after the game, that made it work last week.

But if we lose – blame it on the bartender who took my hat home with him. It was gone the next morning.

Good news is I will start a new streak with a new hat at the game this week!

Uh

That sounded funny – what I just wrote.

I will not be streaking the field with nothing but a Bronco’s hat on this weekend, despite what I wrote above.

If I did, it would break all the cameras, and all of you would hate me for life. :-/

But

I did consider it last week. :-p

Correct Trinidad.

If the voices tell you to harm yourself or someone else, it’s time to get help.

I'd walk nude to police station if it guaranteed a Bronco victory.

Better you than me

I believe blinding by the light reflecting off of one’s white behind is considered assault with a deadly weapon, which would be the result in me emulating your nude walk to the local PD.

But I’d do it if it got us to the playoffs!

If the work out shorts look like this, then I would quit wearing them.

Agreed, giant slingshots do not qualify as good luck or work out shorts

If they looked like that I would never put them on.

Thorpe...I was thinking

Have you thought about the possibility that the shorts had a reverse effect (dont go there) and that they kept SD in the game longer than they should have been?

Perhaps because Denver is wearing orange this weekend it might be better. Then again, if NO goes ahead on the scoreboard, then take the shorts off immediately. A test if you will.

My suggestion

Stick to the the 2008 MHR Bikini Thread for Good Luck.

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

NEVER take them off

not even for the bye week. :)

They are not spandex

I’m not sure where spandex came from. They are the kind you see coach where during training camp but orange. I guess after popular decision I will wear them but be ready to switch to my blue ones as soon as possible.

For the Chargers game...

I wore my new Marshall jersey, so I will keep wearing it.

I also have a new good luck item.

About a month or so before the preseason started, my mother in law somehow found one of those crazy haired troll dolls with orange hair and wearing a little Broncos sweater. Knowing I’m a huge fan she bought it for me. I named him Lil Shanny. For the first two games I have kept him on my lap for the entire games. I have gone as far as never putting him down during the game. Every time we score my wife and I give him high fives and yell “TOUCHDOWN LIL SHANNY!!!!” Needless to say, my non Broncos fan friends give me a very hard time about it, but I dont care. I will eventually get a picture of him and set it as my avatar. Anyway, after the 2-0 start it would take a hostage situation to get me to let him go on gameday.

I always wear my Blue TD Jersey

that was bought the spring before he went down. I also have a pair of Bronco Crocs that my brother bought for me as a gag gift (I’ve worn them everyday since).

Last week I wasn’t near a TV, so I had to wear my Crocs and my Broncos ball cap.

My 12 year old has a Blue Champ jersey (that I see his mother has in the dirty clothes pile – it better be ready for tomorrow!).
