There are some of us who believe in things that can't be seen. Mojo, or BY activity effecting the outcome of games for instance. (Of which I'm a believer).

But there is another phenomenon that I've often thought about, and kind of live my sports-fandom by, even though I never realized it, nor do i know what it's called:

It's this:

No matter how good a team is in a single year, and note- I am a true believer in "any given sunday"- there are just certain uniforms that I can never see realistically hoisting a trophy. This is true in other sports but especially true in cbb.

Example: That Frank Kaminsky Wiscy team. They were really really good, but I never had that Red Jersey up there cutting down nets.
There have been years where, for example, Kansas State, or Stanford, or Illinois, are a top 1,2,3 seed, yet I never took their chances of winning the tourney seriously, simply based on program or unis. There are only a handful of teams that I can see taking home the trophy.

Even super dominant athletics 'Bama doesn't make sense to me cutting down nets.

The last time this was proven wrong was the Baylor championship team, and it felt like an anomaly and a weird dream.
 
Most recently, as good as they've been, and as great as they are this year, I just don't see Houston legitimately winning. Though their Vegas odds are good, their basketball gods odds are slim
 
I’ll give this theory a good natured “wtf?” From all the replies I’d say you’re definitely on a deserted island on this one.

I have liked many of your conversation starters though.

I'm not gonna blame it on the gummies. Not because I'm assuming accountability but because my gummies talk to me and if they talk to me it means that they can hear too.
 
Texas Tech was another team I couldn’t imagine cutting down the nets. That was so weird I’m not even sure if it actually happened still. Nobody talks about it at all lol
