So the Bombers are the "home" team this week, get the home locker room and choice of uniform, and are opting to wear their road whites. Hamiotn will wear their home black on black (or maybe yellow pants, but I'd bet on the former). 

Bombers were 8-1 in their royal blues this year (only loss in them was to Hamilton, BTW) and 5-6 in their whites (including the playoffs - again, lost to Hamilton wearing the whites)

Tiger Cats were 6-3 in their road whites and 10-0 in their home blacks, playoffs included.

The team wearing the dark jersey has won the last 8 Grey Cups in a row. All were the "home" team and opted for the home jersey. The Bombers last 2 Grey Cup wins were in their royal blues, but their last Grey Cup in Alberta as the Western representative they wore white, and beat, you guessed it, the Tiger Cats (in 1984).

SO, which superstition matters most? The cardinal rule (if Bull Durham taught me nothing else) is that you never mess with a streak, and they are on a playoff winning streak in white right now. But is it more important to mess with the opponent's streak if it is powerful too (Ticats are perfect this year in black), or is it all about you and who cares about the other team's mojo?

Or do we just like the blue unit better?

Finally, on a personal note, do any MBB posters have their own superstitions surrounding the Bombers, sports in general, or in life?

Thoughts and opinions, please.

And to answer that last question myself, I don't much go in for superstitions, but there is one biggie for me - whenever I board an airplane I have to touch the fuselage to the right of the entry door (and if there is one there, specifically any logo) with my right hand. Cannot board a plane without doing it, and have convinced myself that doing it is the good luck I need to not die in a plane crash. Once did not do it and literally had to go back and re-enter the plane, and the few times I've had to de-plane and come back, I have to touch the door frame again on the right side. Can't explain it, makes no logical sense, but damned if I'm ever not going to do it.

If you into a barber shop that has two barbers, you always choose the one with the worst haircut.

Have good luck tee shirt, worn when HAM has won and lost, yet still maintain it has luck and must be worn.

Think how bad the losses would have been if you weren't wearing it...

Completely sick with anticipation. Tick tock. 

Our at a comedy club for a friend's 40th but we're all in jerseys. Hoping to head for last call at Hudson's a bit later...

Another packed house.  No hall of famers planking on the bar yet though!

The Calgary and Sask fans thought that too.

Just rolled in! Good times so far. This was a great idea by the WBBFC... 

When we win tomorrow I can't wait to see how ******** Hudsons is. 

Anyway, our recent superstition has been to down a glass of scotch 3 hours before game time, then tailgate with the opposing teams fans (except the rider fans, whom we lovingly make fun of). So far we are batting 1,000

I gotta take a bottle of Crown black over to KBF's. He offers to chip in $20 and I refuse. Did that for the WSF and WF, so it's gotta be done today.

Same shirt, jersey, hoodie (all Bombers logo'd), same seat at his place.

I made the game day thread for the WSF and WF, so figured I needed to start the GC one.

Haha, I didn't wear a jersey (one of my superstitions is to only wear one on game day).  The wives were feeling it after a long day so they didn't want to hang around anymore. 

If I see you around the game, I'll come say hello.  Headed there for around 2pm to have some pregame drinks. 

We did it! Thanks to everyone who went the extra mile today! You can shave, bathe, launder, or whatever. For The W! 

I couldn't get too excited.I  didn't go to any parties.I quietly watched the game at home,by myself.Told my GF,who is filipino and didn't quite understand what the fuss was all about that this was our Pacquiao fight lol.  I couldn't even enjoy a drink during the game.After the TD by Bailey,I grabbed a few beers and my Bomber hat and was on my way to my friends to finally celebrate..say the replay...took the hat off and the beer went back into the fridge....for a few minutes .Once we had 33 all hell broke loose
