That voodoo that you do so well.....

Years ago, my aunt gave me a wrist watch with a Jayhawk on the face and a basketball on the second hand. in the winter, I was searching for something, ran on to the watch and set it aside.
On Jan 30, I went to the jewelry store and got a few new watch batteries.....this watch being one.
I ALWAYS wore that watch on game days--weekdays and I'd even put it on if it was a weekend game day.
That watch was 17-0, before the magic left in Louisville Game 2.
Once I started noticing the voodoo effect, I was too scared to break the spell by telling you all "It's magic watch day!" Jinx, you know.

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

That's cool, Wheatie.
At least it's 17-1, which is nothing to sneeze at. I'd say keep wearing it next year, and hope that the rare loss happens during the regular season, not in post-season.
PS: My personal winning streak of seeing live wins with my son also came to a halt. Counting our games at AFH, I think we were around 8-0 or 9-0...but, alas, even that good luck charm couldn't vex Villanova (or prop our guys up sufficiently) that night.

I've been invited over to watch many games, but I've only gone twice. Davidson in Kemper a while back (loss), and -- of course-- 'nova. 
Well, to hell with neighbors, I'm staying in my man-cave from now on!!
