Some fans perform salt rituals.
Others repeatedly wear the same socks, jerseys and boxers shorts. For die-hard fans of the maize and blue, these superstitions are a force that helped carry the football team all the way to the Rose Bowl. Brock wears the same shorts during every game, whether or not he has a ticket to sit in the stadium. His superstition evolved over this year's winning season. I would never get changed until after the game was over.
