So those of you who follow me on Twitter know that I'm the reason we lost the game yesterday. Despite Syracuse losing every time I've been there, I decided to go to Sign of the Whale to watch the game, and the curse continued. My bad. From now on I will either be watching from home or from a different bar. SotW is lame anyway.

So I was feeling bad about letting down the Orange Empire when voteprime and MBorkowski chimed in and let me know that they too had broken from the usual gameday rituals. And I'm sure it wasn't just us. For a team as good as the Orange to let Pitt go on a 19-0 run to start the game, there must have been a lot of bad mojo floating about.

So what did you do that led to yesterday's loss? Socks on the wrong feet? Hat on backwards? Sacrificed the wrong goat? Come clean in the comments, pray for Boeheim's forgiveness, and that should give us a clean slate to beat 'Nova.
