Last week, I asked the following question:
As a Miami Dolphins fan, what traditions do you have for game day? Do you have a ritual or practice that you do before or during every game to bring the team good luck? Are there things that you just do at this point due to habit?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
Jptapt has a routine to listen from across the state.
I have an orange and aqua bracelet I put on, and then I tune to Joe and Jimmy on the radio. I’m up by Tampa so we do not get to see many games. They are the best way to experience the game in my opinion anyway; they are great.
Dolfanjoe is another out-of-town fan who has a routine along with a shopping list.
Not living in the State, first thing is to see if there is anyway of watching the game at home. If it is going to be a Sports Bar day, then there is prep work. 80 mile round trip trek to the bar from the woods ! This means must combine those Home depot and Wally World trips in with it ! Just need to be smart. Choose what game gear to wear. Note pad so i actually bring home what i need ! I work every other Sunday afternoon, so on those days it is bring a radio and get update’s of all the games. Home games are food, computer and a relaxing Sunday !
JPeay is another with a routine and a locked door.
similarly to many others, I put on all my dolphins gear ( Jersey, hat, socks, necklace with dolphin pendant, and shorts). Make some good food, snacks, and a stiff drink. Connect my laptop to the TV and split stream the Dolphins game and whatever other good game is on (muted). Then lock myself in my room (because I get very loud lol) and I don’t leave my spot unless it’s a bathroom break. 38 year old 2nd generation Dolphins fan, and haven’t missed a game since the 1994 season when we lost in the divisional round playoffs to Stan Humphries and the San Diego Chargers (I was 6 and cried like a baby lol) GO FINS!!

Food spread and Go Dolphins!
21Dave begins his day early and then tries not to nod off.
I wake around 6am , get dressed head to the course. Get my gambling fix on for the day, enjoy a solid 18 and then start making my way back to house. Grab some food and a shower and stuff my face and flop on the couch and see how long the Dolphins can keep me wake for. I record all Phins games in case I nod off I can go back and watch what I missed if we won. If we lost I usually delete it right away and cuss the Dolphins till...
