So here's the funny thing about drinking, Mojo and the rule "if you think it effects the Mojo, it does".

I have always felt when you drink something you really enjoy and think it's delicious? That's an easy out. You drink it, they win? Awesome. You drink it and they lose? At least I had my favorite double IPA 8.9% hazy Goose Golden Monkey!

When you have cancer? They don't give you chemo in a key lime pie. When you have a chest cold, you take nasty tasting medicine. And it works.

I feel like the Rolling Rocks of yore? No one liked them. How could you? But it was a groundswell and it brought the Yard together. If you weren't here? I assure you. It really did. And I do feel like, when you decide "Well, MY mojo is a Makers Mark old fashioned" it really bends the rules to fit your own personal agenda and.....waters down the actual impact. Just my two cents.

So playing in the tournament is like Chemo? We have to suffer? The first rule remains the first rule. I don’t think any beer I consume affects the mojo. I never drank the Rolling Rocks. When I had some pleated Scotch and we made a comeback? Then it happened a few more times? Well, first rule applied. Couldn’t jinx it. But it’s a comeback beverage when we are down.

For now, my Arrogant and Spoiled T-Shirt under a UConn Hockey jersey is the ticket along with a Shakespeare Henry V inspired Haiku.

I get the power of collective belief being more powerful. But does it require collective action? If the arena in Vegas doesn’t have Miller Lite, are those attending the game hurting the mojo? I feel like we’ve rallied around this team and banished the negativity. The mojo is strong.
 
I have my 6-game, unwashed Grey T/Blue UCONN T shirt from 2014 upstairs. Sealed in a plastic bag, untouched and unwashed from that tournament. I have been holding out. It smells a little funky, maybe like victory. Tomorrow, I am going in.

I wish I was 20 pounds lighter like I was then too. Snug.
 
Drinking Rolling Rock showed commitment. In 2014, my local watering hole didn't carry it but the owner agreed to buy a couple cases in advance of the tournament. Nobody else drank it. I felt an obligation to take care of it. It took me a couple months, but I did it!

You didn’t read what I wrote. In your example, you drank scotch you liked, they won. You’re happy. If they lose? You still drink something you really like.

The rolling rock thing was much different than that. It was a collective good luck tonic we all did for the greater good.

Circumstances led us to a place that did not sell Miller Lite. So I sucked down a couple pre-game and went out to the car a half-time for another. You saw how we played in the 2nd half.

Does Miller Lite taste
great, or is it less filling.
Who cares when it's two bucks?

Nope, it's not haiku
Not GameDay til after 12
Then, three words, once, no verbs

Find your own mojo
See you on the other side
As a man of few words

Back in the day when micro choices comprised Sam Adams and Harpoon, lots of people actually did enjoy Rolling Rock.

If it were supposed to be some kind of punishment, then the wings should only have been consumed dripping in Carolina Reaper sauce.

Haiku outside of haiku thread feels like bad mojo:confused: Bill Murray please advise

I read it. It was self contradictory, conflicting with the first rule. I did what I thought impacted the mojo.

I understand it was different. Because it was organic. It can’t just be recreated. The best mojo creation ideas, like Senor Testiculo, just happen. We saw multiple attempts and suggestions, with nerds and Miller Lite and failed hangings. But they didn’t have the juice.

Based on thread activity and what really affected the mojo, I think it’s a collective desire to prove to Ed Cooley that we deserve the arrogance and will continue to be spoiled. That mojo power gained more strength with his move to Georgetown. If there’s anything organic that we all got behind, it was Ed Cooley after that post game press conference. T-Shirts were made, jokes and memes and now even PC fans fuel the mojo with their disdain for Cooley. Looking for a collective good luck tonic? That’s it.

I am obligated to have a Jersey Mike’s Italian Combo on game day if the good guys are to win. I am solely responsible for food procurement , cooking, and selection since my wife who also was a UCONN basketball fan passed away so Jersey Mike’s is my food place on UCONN game day. Same for Football games, well maybe this year it will work for football.

Not a single one
Counts as haiku poetry
Each final line counts six

I'm getting rid of
Excess verbal energy
Before Thursday GameDay

Individual
Mojo takes multiple forms
Thanks, though, for speaking up

I’m drinking Highland Gaelic Ales. Since our Tournament started on St. Patrick’s day and we played back to back games against teams called Gaels the beer choice seemed like a no brainer. This is a delightful way!

Counter the bad mojo of that dufus @August_West who thought it was a great idea to hang the math nerds. Not only did he ignore signs that the mojo gods were ticked with him about his choice when they prevented his polls from working but he didn’t put two and two together when he couldn’t get his Lowe’s credit card to work purchasing counters at Lowe’s that same day.

So it’s a revenge of the nerds quest I’m on for the sake of the mojo. This has to be the way!

I have spoken!

Irony abounds:
multiple posts on "two cents"
calling for "greater good"

Can't rule from the grave:
"Against perpetuities"
Pretty basic concept

When criticizing
Pursuit of a can't-lose stance
Make sure you aren't as well

It's in the title
Your responsibility
Is individual

It's easy to tell
You take this seriously
Keep writing great haiku

Caringly counted,
the Haiku thread's like free throws
Shot at ninety percent

Ok so I was thinking today in my regular day before game freak out…this is such a bizarre time of being a sports fan.

I know at 7:15 tomorrow that I have a very regimented and scheduled period of stress. And from that stretch, two things can happen:

(1) 48 Hours of gushing joy before doing it again
(2) Several months of pain and anguish

So to me the Mojo we speak of is really what levels us. I made sure my entire wardrobe and pre game routine were in order a full day in advance. I plan nothing else out for more then about 15 minutes in my life. I feel better knowing I did what I feel is my superstitious part in this journey.

I was explaining this to a friend who is fan of a team who lost last weekend, and he said *** You, enjoy it, im just jealous.

This is all real unhinged stuff, but I know you all feel this right now and reading all your energy is a great thing.

True fans can carry the mojo of fallen sledmates . I bring something from my good friend who passed at 40,2 years ago. My father 4 weeks ago. And my pup who looked just like the old logo 2 weeks ago. I feel for your loss. This is why our supporters are just different than other big programs. We don’t expect anything and truly appreciate the whole ethos of bleeding blue and not given the respect of being called blue blooded. We just need bazz to show and say “Go Huskies”. LMFG!!!!!
