When you travel, do you have any superstitions or rituals that you need to go through? when you travel to a hotel, have you noticed how typically the 13th floor is omitted? Either personally or as a society, whether we want to admit it or not, we all believe in superstitions in some way.

So Discover Card (Facebook/Twitter) recently asked college football fans whether they have superstitions or rituals that they use in the hopes of bringing their team a victory.
