Shoulda Knocked Wood…

You would think I might have learned by now. You would think I know better. I have and I do. It never fails that if I publicly brag about the record or feats or ranking of one of the sports teams I root for, they screw up and make a fool of me. They do this on purpose, just to make me look bad. At one time I was naive enough to believe this was random coincidence, but I now know they do it just to hurt me.

So, I should never have bragged about my Tennessee Volunteers high poll position in the NCAA rankings. Last night, they did it to me again. They lost to a Kentucky team that has been in complete disarray all year. Oh, well, at least we were in the top 5 for a couple of days…

    It hurts to lose. Look on the bright side, there is always next year.
