Just about every fan has a pre-game ritual in which they go through. There are also in game rituals, rally rituals, and my personal favorite, free throw rituals. I have every TV in the house turned to the game which right now is three. I pace from room to room and I don't think I ever sit down. I yell at the TV, I disagree with every call that goes against the Tarheels, and I dispute everything the announcers say.
My free throw ritual I cannot claim as my own because I borrowed it from the classic movie Caddy Shack. When the main character Danny was putting the guys in the background were saying "Nnnooonan! Nnnnnooonan!" to try to make him miss the putt. It rarely works for me either. Some player shooting 25% of his free throws on the year will come in against the 'Heels and go 5 for 6. After all of these years you would figure the law of averages would catch up but it hasn't.
