OT: What's your nervous tick

[BlazerCaravan]

I read this thread:

And I laugh and laugh and laugh...

I pace like crazy and yell a bunch. Tap my foot a mile a minute. Been know to scream "make your fucking free throws mother fucker!" Bummed for months after a good playoff run comes up short

I'm even worse watching football, and I can't even hardly stomach watching crunch time playoff baseball, every pitch is a fucking heart attack

Joel Freeland coming into the game causes me all sorts of problems.

 

[ripcityboy]

I immediately start saying the most negative stuff I can think of when the Blazers play the last few minutes: Like, "OH GOD!! THE BLAZERS, DOING
THIS FOR ALMOST FORTY YEARS!!" or "EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE THE BLAZERS! BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN!!" Walk around during the tv breaks, saying
that, driving people around me crazy.

 

[KingSpeed]

I usually keep going back and forth between edge of my seat and slouching back trying to keep cool. In game 4, I stayed on edge of seat and cheered them on even when they were down 10. I'll do that again.

 

[KingSpeed]

When the Blazers shoot free throws, I cross my fingers, two crosses on each hand, and put my hands together like I'm praying, take a deep breath, and exhale when the player does. When it goes in, I pump my left fist three times.

I've been doing this since 1991.

Awesome

 

[Strenuus]

Pace like a motherfucker. Game 1 there was times I couldn't even watch the houston possession late in regulation and OT.

I yell a lot too. Good things, or things at Houston that are not so swell. My downstairs neighbor probably hates me right now.

This. I don't know if it's a defense mechanism so I don't get quite as depressed when they lose or if it's an existential thing that by making myself feel so defeated I actually enjoy the eventual win that much more.

Hey, Welcome to RipCityTwo!

Hey, Welcome to RipCityTwo!

Thanks. I'm from Pennsylvania. Trying to find a Blazers message board with a little less fan-on-fan violence than my last one. Looking forward to checking your place out.

At home I squat in front of the tv. At the arena I sit on my seat while it is in the up position.

 

[Rhal]

When it gets down to crunch time i'm always standing up and if we make a big shot or get a big stop I clap or do a fist pump. If we screw up or they hit a big shot I usually drop into a crouch for a minute and do the running my hands through my hair in a very stressed motion. Everytime there is a stop I go to the bathroom to get a drink of water and come back.
Also my wife will either make fun of me the entire time or just watch in disbelief that I get so upset or happy over a sports game i'm not playing.

Shots of tequila and pacing. If I'm at work (I'm a bartender), during crunch time of a close game, the bar is closed until a break in the action. Fuck them, they can wait. And they should understand that.

 

[MARIS61]

Fortunately, I have none.

Many people are not so lucky.

So YOU'RE the asshole not serving me! Get back to work yo, I'm thirsty!

Wear my lucky przybilla jersey. We won every game I ever went to when i was wearing it. The come back against dallas pretty much proved it was all in my jersey i mean roy had no knees but still incredible. Usually I have to attend the game for it to work but its 3-0 this year in playoffs from home. It was in the dryer when we lost game 3. Sorry all we should have swept.

That stuff happens here, but it tends to occur doing lulls in team excitement, and it gets regulated swiftly by the beautiful and intelligent SlyPokerDog.

Cool. The last place I went to it seemed to be ignored. And possible encouraged.

We're laid back here, not a ton of rules. We only ask that there are no personal insults. If you disagree with something someone posted then respond to that but you don't insult the person.

Also people do like to haze the rookies on the site, they're just teasing you. Don't let them get to you.

Example: SlyPokerDog's last post has the similarities of watching paint dry.

Damn, I was wondering if the spelling was without a 'k.' But I was too lazy to check.
