Briefly--I expected BYU to lose. I wanted BYU to win, but I did not expect it. Most of America expected BYU to lose.

BYU did not disappoint.

Same old story.

Next time BYU makes it to the Big Dance, I am going to wager some serious money for the opponent to win. I think that will break the hex. I could maybe bury some dead cats in the yard for good measure. But I am happily married, so I can't perform the ultimate slump-busting ritual.

Aside from you being married, the slump-busting requires that you be a member of the team. If there is someone on the bench at BYU who is expendable - as he'd be booted for an Honor Code violation - that would be more effective.

Just an FYI. ;

Wrong. ESPN SportsNation had 50.7% of America voting for BYU to win.

Well, I figured 3 million brackets would be a large enough sample size for most people. Even Cougarboard can't stuff a ballot box that big.
