Stop jinxing 2014!

As a fatalist (and a soviet), you all are making me VERY uncomfortable with your 2014 bally hoo'ing.  It is well established that whenever anything good is happening, we all need to be even more dilligently looking around for the other shoe to fall.  It's the only civilized way to live.

So please, take your 2014 success like a soviet; ignore it and wait for the world to fall apart.

Thank you.

I half agree. The start to 2013 wasn't bad. In fact, there were a lot of positives early in the year. The end, not so much. And I do think we're talking a little bit too much about how great 2014 is, when we're only 2 weeks in. This could possibly lead to a jinx scenario.That being said, I will remain optimistic unless fate deems otherwise, and refuse to live in a state of fear or paranoia.

As one who doesn't believe in magic, neither the year nor any potential jinxing thereof seems an interesting topic of conversation. But at least the collective fanbase has stopped cutting itself about Borges, which is nice.

immigrant

we immigrated from USSR when I was young; moved shortly thereafter to ann arbor where I went K-12 and also to Michigan undergrad.  Not too unusual nowadays where you can't swing a sickle without hitting a Russian immigrant.

my father is the infamous (on this blog) "Igor!".  His story is probably more interesting since he never went to college in the US but transfered his crazy fandom from soccer to American football.

Maybe praising 2014 is the reason we're having success

 Like it needs to be appeased. People started damning 2013 months before it ended and worse things kept happening to us. Maybe positivity breeds desirable results. We all know doing the other thing just makes us all miserable.

There's no Jinx

Not sure why people didn't realize this in the first place, but it's all about how we distribute our good luck.

We obviously used up all our "good karma" early in 2013.  For example, starting at the beginning of the year, we had an allotment of 100% and used probably 80% on basketball.  Seriously, 25% of it was probably used on Trey's shot against Kansas alone.

We just need to better allocate this mojo more equally.  Spread it out evenly.

I think there was confusion

They gave our normal allotment to MSU. We need to get our normal allotment back and we should get extra to make up for last year. Fuck MSU.

Props to the OP, this is a much needed dose of perspective coupled with humor.  Thank you for that.  As for me, I have no problem with being happy that the end of 2013 is over, but there's a long way to go and I recall all of us being similarly happy about Michigan sports at this point last year.  Let us appreciate that the dickpunch of the football season is over and we have a chance to write a new story, but always with the knowledge that things may still, in fact, suck.

 

(That said, the fact that the football program actually acknowledged a clear problem and too defined steps to deal with it is an awfully nice change of perspectiove from thedoom and gloom of thinking that Hoke was comfortable enough with what happened last year to not make changes despite clear cracks in the foundation).

Nope

Not in the cards, my man. One thing this place knows how to do is to thoroughly beat deceased equines to a pulp.

I didn't go anywhere

I didn't go anywhere, just prefer to lurk and quietly judge, than post. But sometimes a man has to speak out when he sees injustice (or jinxing)

Jinxes

There is no such thing as a jinx and I must say I don't much hold with unwarranted optimism. Neither are reasonable or logical.

A Russian farmer, miserable in life because

he has only one cow while his neighbor has two, has the incredibly good fortune to stumble upon a Genie Lamp.  In spite of his pessimism, he figures--what-the-heck, I might as well rub it.

Well, lo and behold, a genie appears from the bottle, and tells the farmer that he will grant him any wish, but only one.

The farmer asks for one of his neighbor's cows to die.
