No. 2 Alabama's losing to Auburn 21-20 right now in the Iron Bowl, and it's not a coincidence. Aside from the endless CBS promos for a 1-vs-2 championship game with Florida and Alabama... and looking past the laughable analysis at halftime that had the Crimson Tide winning by double digits in a game which they'd trailed for much of the first half... Beyond all that, there's this, the current Sports Illustrated cover:
The jinx of all jinxes. Jinx jinx jinx. Jinxtastic.
(Sorry, jinx is also just a funny word to say.)
And I know it's such a stupid myth and only idiots believe in this stuff, but it's a rivalry game, 'Bama's undefeated-but-not-that-great, and they're on the road. Annnd... The SI jinx. Would YOU bet on the Tide given the cirucmstances?
