Eat at Togo's the day of a big game, but do not order the pastrami!

This one goes back to high school baseball. My junior year we made the CIF playoffs. Each game we played in we were the underdogs, but we somehow beat three of the top ranked opponents we faced. The only similarity we could come up with was that we ate at Togo's before the game. One of our best hitters throughout the season was in a slump though, and he was having the pastrami sandwich. We ended up making it all the way to the championship game, which was to be played on a Friday night. A week before the game the schedule got moved around, and they moved our game to Saturday morning at 10 am. Of course Togo's doesn't open that early, and we did end up losing the game. My senior year we made it back to the playoffs, and just like the previous year we went to Togo's before the game. Once again we made it all the way to the championship game, which was again supposed to be played on the Friday evening. As luck would have it the game stayed on schedule, we got to go to Togo's beforehand and we ended up winning it all.
