The Orange Starburst Theory

[dlegend44]

Before every game this season I have been eating 3 Orange Starbursts. The team is 19-0 since I started this ritual. Maybe it is just coincidence, but as the wins stack-up it is seeming like there must be some type of connection.

Last year I wore my faded 2003 National Champs shirt to a 19-0 start. During GMac's amazing Big East Tournament run I drank nothing but Heiniken keg cans during games.

Does anyone else have any rituals that seem to be helping out the team this year?

Yes, but nothing that I would post on the Internet.

You blue haired 87 year olds are something.

I cost us the '87 national championship. Before our first tournament game, I was at J.C. Penny. They had a basket and balls that had school names on it. I took the Syracuse ball and dunked it. I did it before every gtame the rest of the way. Before the national title game, I was just too tired to go to the mall. The rest is history. I have blamed myself ever since.

I had suspected it was you all the time. Glad you finally cleansed the soul and fessed up.

My pre-game ritual involves the "stickiest of the ickie." Works every time

Go Cuse!!

Whats your address dlegend i'll send you starbursts for life.

I always rock an orange 'Cuse shirt on game day (whether I wear it under my work apperal or am able to flash it on days I have off). I wear different ones but if the game gets tight... I switch to my Baye Keita #12 shirt. We are undefeated in football and basketball when I rock it. Now before you guys get all angry with me about the football season... I didn't realize we were undefeated whilst wearing or carrying this shirt until after the Pre-Season NIT tourny. For that... I apologize.

I have myself a new orange sweater .. which has worked so far. By the end of the season, I want it to be as mangy as the old one was in 2003.

I too have been eating 3 orange Star Bursts@1971 before each of the 19 regular season games so far this year.

The bad news is that I am all out of orange ones now. Do you think I should eat 1.5 yellow ones and 1.5 red ones instead? I figure they will merge into the equivalent of 3 orange ones once they get digested in my stomach. But yellow is close to a Pitt color and red is associated with death, as in death of a win streak. So maybe I shouldn't.

This is a lot of responsibility. If I ask myself what would Pearl do, the answer is easy. He would eat ALL the Star Bursts. Maybe I shouldn't do what Pearl would do.

I have so many superstitions that I am doing now between Syracuse and the Giants I dont even know my own name anymore. Its borderline ridiculous.

I'd say you march your ass to the store and buy a new bag mister.

If I forget to DVR a game... it has no effect whatsoever on anything except my ability to watch the game again.

See this is some BS right here. That team busted their a$$ all season just so you can punk out and cost them the NC on this?? G-damm I'm pizzed right now!!!

I think Starbursts typically come in orange, red, pink, and yellow (unless you get some exotic specialty packs).
So for each orange one you eat, three others are going uneaten, on average.
If three orange Starbursts are eaten per game, then nine others are left over.
Tonight is the 20th game, so the stockpile will reach 180 non-orange Starbursts.

I hope you have all of those handy, because if a loss appears imminent, it might be because the orange mojo has worn out and you'll need to quickly eat all of the remaining ones to appease the Starburst Hoops God.

Orange Starburst Theory is now 20-0. I will not have any association with the color green until after we dispense of that team that denigrates my Irish heritage. NOTHING to do with green...I won't even handle money. Nothing but credit card transactions and yellow traffic lights until Saturday evening! BTW, I invested in a new bag of Starbursts because I don't see this streak ending any time soon!

Wear a tight shirt with big tits... That is what one of my girls is doing for the Giants. Syracuse you will have to suffer through with me.

Ummmm... I don't think marsh has tits....and did you really just brag on the chesticles of your daughter?

If so there is a man-law violation in there somewhere.

I always wear an orange SU shirt on game days. This season I've been doing a hefty shot of Sailor Jerry's before every tip off.

Ok then.

The post is still worthless without pics.
