Back again.

From last year: Every year we get upset threads and then jinx the underdog. This year, let's try something different.
Any time we see an upset brewing, say Bobby Hurley's Buffalo squad taking on some Wildcats, we talk about field hockey, or beer, or gardening.
Of course, as with the observer effect suggests that simply one's awareness is enough to jinx the whole dang enterprise.

I'm going to skip the beer convo and I'm not a hockey fan. I'm a runner, but with a bum foot. As it happens, late middle-aged/early fossils should not jump off the top of retaining walls. For the short term, I'm not a runner, I'm a Rider.
