Reverse Jinx

It's been almost a year since I posted the Hopeless Sports Fan article about the pain and suffering inflicted upon me by UVa sports teams, the Detroit Lions, and the Washington Nationals.

Since then, the Lions and Nats made the playoffs, UVa basketball has gone 26-2 (19-0 this season) and is now ranked #2 in the nation, and UVa football is...UVa football.  Take away Mike London and the boys, and I think the article has created a reverse jinx that has transformed my favorite teams into winners.

Based on past history, I am not booking my flight to Indianapolis for the Final Four just yet, but Tony Bennett has orchestrated a true contender in Charlottesville.  And I'll take the credit for the reverse jinx.
