Nova Mojo Fail

[prankster]

Took me a while to figure out, but this one was entirely on me.

I am not allowed to wear Husky gear on game day.

Yesterday, after the game, I realized that I had been wearing my Boneyard Challenge X hat, all day.

Not technically UConn gear. But the Mojo shows you the rules.

My sincere apologies to everyone involved.

 

[HuskyBoi]

Apology denied. That win could've put us firmly in the tournament.

Just kidding, on we go

 

[mauconnfan]

Geez prank you just pointed out something that I failed on as well. I walked the pup before the game without a shower but needed a hat. Threw in one of my Husky hats for the trip made it home on time for tip off never took it off. I swore after not having enough time to put on Husky apparel for the Xavier game I wouldn’t again until we lost. Didn’t for PC either.

Damn I started a thread on blaming Bouk for the loss when it was you and I all along. Sorry fellow BYers

 

[ThabeetDown]

I wore the same shirt I wore to the Nova game last year. Should have known better myself. Mojo spares no one.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

 

[8893]

You farking idiots!

I honored the mojo and wore no UConn gear.

At least that means I can start wearing it on game days again.

I knew we were in trouble. On Valentine’s weekend my gf shipped a huge box from Katz’s deli. Loaded with jars of mustard , Russian dressing a loaf of REAL rye, a chocolate bobka, a bunch of cinnamon rugelach, a jar of half sour pickles , a jar of full sour pickles, and piece de resistance: 2 lbs ( in two 1 lb vacuum sealed packs, of Katz’s pastrami.

so I opened that box for Xavier game and sat in front of TV with this:

That pic was taken during X game. So for providence game I had the remaining lb of pastrami left and bread and did it again .

meanwhile coincidentally like @8893 I wasn’t wearing any uconn gear for X game , so I didn’t wear any for providence game. I was 2 for 2! Katz’s pastrami and no husky gear= 2 wins.

now fast forward to Saturday morning around 10 am. I actually said this to her. “ I don’t feel good about this today, I’m out of pastrami”. To her credit she said, “I’ll go get you some, where should I go , Giuliano’s ?” ( for you upper shoreline people you know it as a fantastic Italian bakery/ deli in niantic) And I said “ no it has to be Katz’s ( my gf doesn’t eat pastrami) Sadly at 1030 am in old Lyme there was no way to get what I needed before game time.

She understands my insanity ( I mean she was the one who silk screened “ fishy is chief” frowny face shirts last year) so she said “ maybe if we both wear UConn shirts we will be ok , it will counteract the pastrami” . From a math/ programming sense I saw the logic, 2 negatives = positive. So we tried it.didn’t work.

now I’m a mojo mess, was it the lack of NYC pastrami, or wearing uconn gear?! I’m in a mojo black hole right now!

to preemptively answer a couple obvious questions:

1) yes I am completely insane
2) my gf is a patient saint

Haiku was a mess and U C O N N thread was left incomplete as well.

whut? no hammentaschen? mojo killer! i'd like to pin the mojo fail on you, but i can't. in the last 2 games that we lost, coincidently there was no 'U-C-O-N-N' thread, sooooo, there's that.
and oh, real seeded ryebread can always be found at Chavez bakery. it's the family recipe.

I had been wearing my old Block C sweatshirt for the prior two wins. But it was warm, and I wore a long sleeve UConn T-shirt instead. Mojo fails all around it seems. I'm wearing that same T-shirt now, perhaps I need to switch.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My 2-0 9 PM game mojo:

• Watch the first half live in bed on laptop. No other tabs allowed open, including phone
• At halftime, close laptop go to sleep, alarm set for 5:30 (30 minutes earlier than normal)
• Wake up at 5:30 the next day, go straight downstairs to finish game skipping commercials (breaks for morning routine stuff, etc) finish game by 6:50ish.

We haven't had a hanging in a while. Hmmm. Juss sayin!

I'm not sure how the "mojo" went from you eating ketchup to you eating Katz's pastrami, but whatevs.

 

[prankster]

a. Despite popular claims to the contrary, confession is actually NOT good for the soul. In fact, around here, it is soul crushing.

b. I don't have to hang.around here to hear how everything is my fault. I'm married. I already know everything is my fault. I just listen to find out HOW it is all my fault.

Ketchup hasn’t touched my lips since the 2016 2nd round loss to Kansas.

Forget mojo, I'm debating on whether to show this post to my wife. I like being left alone during games, but hell since she ain't doing nothing she could be making store runs.

I'm not sure if chasing mojo is a waste of time or a worthy effort. I could be convinced either way.

I have tried this two times so far, with the start with a packaged corned beef hack.

Both times it was a smaller 4-pounder; both times too dry. Also, possibly not fatty enough, so I might need a butcher, and then have to do my own 'I fused' spicing. Not sure yet. He's onto something here.

I'm thinking that I'll scout for coupons before or overstock post-St Patty's blow-out sales to find some larger, fatter meat for test kitchen work to get the method tweaked into an easy 'good enough,' and work from there.

Thank god, the truth is out. It turns out Hurley didn’t have a puncher’s chance with clueless Mojo killers like you. . This should put an end to Palatine’s flame throw at coach.

Taking mojo advice from your girlfriend? Is she even a UConn fan?

 

[Doctor Hoop]

No, it's my fault. Traveling to visit daughter in college missed out on GameDay haiku and couldn't follow the chat.

Inexcusable!
