Tournament Rituals?

[Oh Canada]

So I started my annual playoff "Duke beard" the day after the UNC game.

My wife hates it and my son says its "scratchy" but hey....it worked way back in the UNLV game (just able to grow some fuzz back then) and must have helped "the shot" against Kentucky.... I kid, I kid. Many, many times it has brought me luck when watching our Blue Devils.

Any other tournament superstitions out there?

Well, these aren't superstitions, but you named the thread "rituals."
1. I keep three brackets - my wife's CBS bracket, my CBS bracket (with winners in green and losers in red), and a round-by-round bracket (so I can only be wrong one game at a time).
2. Girl Scout Cookies are the Official Snack Food of TNDukeFan's Tournament.
3. I drink from a Duke souvenir cup from Cameron (this year's is from the massacre of the Terps, whoo hoo!).
