UCONN's bad juju

[SVCBeercats]

Sarah Strong tweaks knee but returns. May be something to watch.

 

[Kaizen]

Fortunately Sarah returned to the floor later and hit a big 3.

Too soon to panic or think it's some kind of jinx on the team.

What's the date on this one?

 

[CaliHuskyFan]

Stop it!!!!

Agree 100%. Terrible clickbait headline.

Really? After the last 3 years?

 

[hoopsnloops32]

It does look like she’s not playing in the Nike Summit games though because she’s not dressed for the scrimmage. Hopefully something minor though.

Yes. Why continue to think the worst? There's absolutely nothing anyone can do and there's no indication there's anything to worry about at this point.

Take this season for example. There were numerous threads where fans worried about how the team would fare because they didn't have their full roster. Some had little faith they would get past the Sweet 16. They ended up in the Final Four beating and almost made the final. So in the end, was the stress necessary?

Agreed. Juju didn't play last year after tweaking something at the GEICO Nationals. Things worked out fine for USC.

Not talking about the stress, talking about the jinx.

This juju post is ruining all my mojo.

Exactly. This happened over a week ago and she was examined by a trainer on sight. I would imagine if it was serious enough to need surgery they’d know by now and she wouldn’t have traveled to the Global Summit.

OFF Topic ... but kinda pertinent. Way back in 1973, Tony Dorsett was a graduating Senior at Aliquippa High School, outside of Pittsburg. For those who might not remember, Tony Dorsett was an All American running back at the University of Pittsburg when Johnny Majors was Head Coach.
For something to do in his Senior Year, Spring semester, Tony Dorsett ran track. He was by far the fastest 100 yard runner in the area. I know, I ran against him a few times...as I say, we were tied when the starter said "Take Your Marks". The weather was always cold during the early meets in the spring outside of Pittsburg. In one meet Tony "tweaked" a hamstring muscle a little. Nothing "serious". Johnny Majors got the word somehow. Soon after, Tony got a "checking-in" call from Coach Majors. At the end of the call, Coach Majors said words to the effect of... "Tony... Your Track Season is Over." Tony stopped running track, and prepared for his first season at Pitt. For those who might remember, Tony Dorsett was a stand out College Running back and had a pretty good Pro Career with the Dallas Cowboys.

STAY SAFE SARAH STRONG...

It's only a jinx if you want it to be one. Did the team look at it that way?

I don't believe in jinxes (really). But some (quite a few) people on these boards think it's "bad luck". And if you don't believe in "bad luck" or "jinxes", then it's gotta be something else. But people here don't really want to talk about that.

And I wasn't talking about the team, it's about this fandom.

On the positive side. Nice shot!

It's the mentality towards a blip of a video clip and projecting something that may or may not happen. Continuing to focus on the negative will lead one to only see the negative no matter what the reality is in front of them.

That's why I use the team as an example. If they continued to think the same way some of these fans did, they could have thrown in the towel before the season even started.
