The "I'm not going to jinx it" thread

Yes, I suggest you root for the team that won't send Duke to Shreveport.

Here in Winston, I don't keep a close Tally on such things, but I am guessing we better avoid Shreveport with a plate of crab legs and a donation of free shoes. Yes, I held my nose.

Would not be surprised to see a gator dance next week. Or a busy bee the week after. The trail of tears starts in the panhandle.

Checking ESPN. I see that Transylvania - a team with no record, no mascot, and no reflection - is losing or has lost, to Lipscomb.

Wife asked about the most popular major. Daughter answered phlebotomy.

Clearly, I've been a bad influence on my kids.

People like that flannel-and-backpack image, but if you're not an actual TBD, I think it looks kind of TBD.

"Eastern is my favorite direction. The others are kind of a Wash," he said. "Who's yours?"

Well, looks like ESPN finally fixed the box score, so my previous comment doesn't apply any longer. It was previously posted as "TBD" vs. "TBD."

Does anyone else have trouble herding wild cats? Especially in Manhattan?

You speak of the Hawaiian Hoedown? How can TJ McConnell always be a sophomore in college?

I may need a can of Miller Lite.

[OldPhiKap]

Frank Martin has some for you, even from Columbia.

There is no better place to visit during the holidays than Manhattan. The lights in Aggieville's Triangle Park, the shopping at the Town Center, ice skating in City Park. Truly, my friends, there is no place like Manhattan when you have turkey in your tummy and Santa in your sternum.

After posting about Ten Fidy, you should be royally (blue) embarrassed about this entry.

I had a growler of Ten Fidy last weekend. Woke up on Wednesday.

That stuff is coffee-flavored NyQuil. In a meal.

I would like to take a sec and point out that the Terps currently lead #13 Iowa State by a point or three. Not that I'm trying to jinx things for the B1G whatever. . . nope, wouldn't dream of doing that. Not me.

Honest!

I sense an "overspray" coming. Or perhaps a $500K evening of Comcrap cable burning, bottle throwing and vehicular immolation.

I think this thread is broken, and I think I know who did it. Could someone fix this before, say, Noon Eastern?

The Butler did it?

[Troublemaker]

We both suspect the butler did it, William. I hope we're right because false accusations make me Nassau-eous. Especially if we're wrong in this case.

Has this thread worked, even once?

I guess we'll find out in...oh...8:44.
