In our most recent #NEIpoll we asked what is your personal game day tradition or superstition. It’s no secret that football coaches and players are creatures of habit, and your responses proved that. Everything from a clothing item you have to wear, to where you sit in the locker room, to what you eat before a game was mentioned. Some were “normal”, others, well, weren’t so normal – but that’s what makes them unique! Check out what you, our readers, picked as your top “game day traditions and superstitions”. And in case you missed them earlier in the week, here’s the NEI Team’s picks.
Gotta use my special shampoo and conditioner on Thursday nights. #NEIpoll
