Reassuring Villanova Coach Jay Wright

Dear Jay Wright,
Relax.......my bracket is in tact but I've repudiated the Louisville pick...if, God forbid, Villanova cannot secure the 2009 NCAA Championship but I win my pool I will hold true to my word: that $45 will go to a Villanova endorsed charitable endeavor or the Wildcat booster program. I'm in it for the long haul.....my 'Nova Nation T-shirt should be arriving on Monday.

What!? This guy's bracket is only going to net us $45 bucks!

What an awesome game. Big East basketball is a battle and boy is it fun to watch.

The Divisional Round Terrible Voodoo Doll: D.P.O.Y Edition

The intangibles of course (See Voodoo when discussing intangibles). We here at the San Diego Sports Fan Collective have tried to replicate our routine over the last four weeks as best as possible, which of course leads us to our fourth installment of Voodoo. This week we have The Terrible Voodoo Doll in the Shadow of the Charger Power Towel: Defensive Player of The Year, James Harrison Edition.

Yes We Have a Towel Too...You Were First...Who Cares

We don't think Harrison can be stopped by human force alone so we have conjured his destruction in the form of a Voodoo Doll. This is no ordinary Voodoo Doll. A trip to the Salvation Army brought us to a doll, direct from Kenya...a nation with Voodoo practicing elements. Fate? We think so. Look at the native beads draped over Harrison's shoulder...we stuck him up good...it may be our only hope.

Fuckin' lip stick? Shit, man....Hey....I'm a SC Trojan...that shit ain't right!

Keep something in mind. The Voodoo Doll tradition began back on December 21st with a Voodoo Snowman when the Chargers were facing the most dire of circumstances. The Chargers could have won their difficult East Coast road game and still been eliminated by virtue of a Bronco home victory versus a fledgling Bills squad.... but they persevered...they survived... and they advanced. Then came Voodoo on Jay Cutler followed by The Manning de Milo.... which has led us ultimately to fate... January 11th at Heinz field. Why do I mention this? Our Voodoo began in Tampa Bay on 12/21 and our Voodoo seems to be preordained to end in Tampa Bay, site of Superbowl XLIII.

Is this fate? We think so.... a fate we will explain after our 20-17 victory this afternoon.

Good Morning & Good Luck

Chief
