Then asking if anybody has gone as far as lucky underwear and lucky socks unchanged since a month ago when Bengals beat Chiefs to clinch AFC North. In A League Of Their Own that one girl baseball player goes without changing her socks on a hot streak, and Tom Hanks the manager says something pretty funny about how bad they smell. If Bengals beat Chiefs again, and somebody goes from Jan 2nd Chiefs Win to Feb 13th Super Bowl in same Lucky underwear and socks unchanged, could that be the smell of victory, or the sweet smell of success ?....or just Ripe for a Victory ?
I am fully onboard with the idea of wearing the same clothing as a prior game, but it has to be laundered. For the overly superstitious, think of the cleaning process as recharging the good luck, as opposed to draining it. I'm also not a fan of the hockey playoff beard. Of course, my team is usually eliminated in the first round, if they make the playoffs at all, so there's never really time for a true beard.
