I've never felt escapist nervous when I'm at Arrowhead. I've closed my eyes and listened to crowd noise during some big kicks, but generally if I'm there in the fight personally, I'm too engaged to get antsy.
When the Chiefs are on the road on TV, however, I often have to walk out of the room...usually to the basement and throw some towels in the washer, so I don't jinx them. My dad did the same thing when I was a kid. His thing was to go walk to the end of the block and back, or go put something away in the backyard shed.
I'm that way with Mizzou too, especially basketball. They play better when I don't watch, and I've documented that to myself dozens of times.
