Every time we get together we go all out...we have themed bbq's (i.e. Oregon roast duck), we go to sacred restaurants (i.e. the Sports Grill) and we cheer for common teams (even if they are not "our team").
We have tried different locations...Dario's house, our house, the Sport's Grill and various other locations within Miami. These locations have been sanctioned by my Miami family by wearing the appropriate team colors, bringing the appropriate team gear (i.e. flags, hats, jersey's etc.) and refusing to cheer for the opposing team (even if it is "their team").
This has been to no avail. Two summer's ago it was the football (soccer) World Cup (Argentine lost in a heated battle against Germany, the USA lost against Ghana), then it was the Rose Bowl (Wisconsin lost to TCU, damn the horny frogs!!!), then it was the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, then it was the Copa America (Argentina lost on penalty kicks to Uruguay), then it was the Rugby World Cup (Argentina lost again, God help us all), and then again it was again Wisconsin losing again in the Rose Bowl. Each time we stood for each other, drank with each other and comforted each other after each loss letting each other know that it would be okay and we would get them next year.
So...we have decided after amazing grilled duck tonight that we must cheer for the opposing team in order for our team to win. We believe that if we would have cheered for the Oregon Ducks tonight we would have won the Rose Bowl.
Moral of tonight's blog...if you want your team to win (i.e. Stanford over Oklahoma State or Oklahoma State over Stanford) just let us know and we will cheer for whatever team you do not want to win.
Why couldn't u have posted this yesterday before the Dallas game?? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am part of your Miami jinx-them-all family. I think that we could offer our jinx sense ability but as Robert said yesterday, we need to start charging for the service at leat to cover the BBQ expenses. We can do it through paypal or mayor credit cards. We do not need to worry about refundable or non refundable issues. We won't need to refund any monies as our jinx-them-all services are highly effective. Unbeatable. Satisfaction guarantee, I may say.
