It is crazy, and I know it is crazy. But sometimes it does sneak into my thought process.
Earlier this year my Tennessee Vols fell behind the Georgia Bulldogs 24-3 near the end of the second quarter. They looked terrible and were lucky not to be behind by more because Georgia missed a short FG. I turned off the game. When I checked back in the third quarter the Vols were up 31-24, but as soon as I started watching georgia hit a long td pass to tie the game. For a moment I actually considered turning off the game because it seemed like I was jinxing them. But then I decided that was ridiculous.
The strangest things in the world happen in some game. Often it defies all logic to see a team that has been abused suddenly catch fire and turn the game around, or to see a team that has no chance to win pull a huge upset. So it is easy to think that there has to be some strange magic or juj-ju at work. But there isn't. Sports are just crazy. and that is one of the reasons we love them so much.
