A New Curse

Since the Red Sox stunned the Yankees and crushed the Cardinals on the way to a thrilling World Series victory, I have been sorely in need of another curse to fill the empty void in my soul where the Curse of the Bambino once stood. I think I have found a suitable substitute.

For the second year in a row, the psychology department IM flag football team marched throught the regular season and playoffs, arriving undefeated and unscathed in the championship game. And for the second year in a row, we fell to the very same team from the law school, shattering our championship hopes once again. This year was a closer game, and it was on the actual football field in the stadium, which was kind of cool, but the end result was the same. Hey, it's no Red Sox-Yankees, but I think we've got a rivalry on our hands.

Now all it needs is a name, preferably something rhyming with "Bambino". What does "Curse of the Cappuccino" do for you? Maybe it originated when one of our players spilled cappuccino on himself the day before the championship.....
