Tim Struby here, writer at ESPN The Magazine. Am doing a feature for our fan issue and looking for NFC playoff-bound team fans who have hardcore rituals. Do you have to eat certain foods at a certain time for dinner the night before a game? Then do you have to wash your game day outfit twice the night before and then sleep exactly 6.5 hours, then have the same two friends over who sit in the same spots for the start of the game, then rotate seats during each commercial? Stuff like that?
What do I want to do? To sit with and watch different fans go through their rituals and whatever crazy stuff they do leading up to their team?s game. I?ll bring my pen and pad and photographer and you?ll be in ESPN The Magazine!
Anyone with such rituals, please drop me a note at
tstruby@yahoo.com. Looking to nail down some subjects soon!
