The "I'm Not Going to Jinx It" Thread, 2019-20 College Basketball Edition

all hail CDu.

Not sure I agree with the board CW that we should have been cheering for FSU, there, but I have to concede to the power of the anti-anti-jinx.

all hail CDu.

ALL HAIL!!

All glory, laud, and honor
To thee, C-D-u, King,
To whom the lips of Noles fans,
Made loud their War chants ring.
Thou art the King of jinxing,
Thou blest' Blue Devil, Son,
While basketball gods proclaim you,
'Most Favored, Jinxing One.'

Well, for that matter, who we cheer for isn’t going to affect outcomes. But for my part I really want that regular season championship, and the 1 seed. Having both FSU and Louisville on the opposite side of the bracket in the ACC tournament would be huge.

Of course, the losses to SFA and NCSU suggest that looking too far ahead may not be a great idea.

I also would want everything you listed.

In addition we can look ahead as long as the team stays focused. On the other hand I enjoy each game and think about the ramifications afterward

CDu is MVJ, Most Valuable Jinxer for 2/24/20 or for Flag Day in Mexico. Which ever he wishes.

GoDuke!

Was stuck at the office past 8 yesterday when I got a text from a fellow alum asking who we wanted to win. I said FSU and he said thanks just as I checked the score - Louisville up 11 in the second half. I’m not saying he made it happen, but I am a little scared.

Maybe we don't "want it" enough?
