Karma.

Virginia Athletic Department bans signs from Scott Stadium, team fails to beat any Division 1-A teams, culminating in a blowout loss to Duke.

Students revolt, threaten to wear blue in protest of the ridiculous "Sea of Orange" campaign.

The AD, scared it'll appear that they aren't in control of the situation, repeal the sign ban for next home game, and Virginia destroys Maryland (great post on Al Groh's Coachbook page from Ralph Friedgen- "Earn this.").

Coincidence?

Absolutely not. These things matter. The football gods frowned upon the sign ban and punished our team for it. The sign ban is lifted, and the team is allowed a win. And why was the sign ban lifted? It was just another victim of the curse of this blog. I mention the ban last week; two days later, the ban is reversed. Curse well executed.

[Note: Another casualty of the curse- my St. X Bombers. I sang their praises back in August, and they are now currently 3-4 and in danger of missing the playoffs. Sorry Coach Specht.]
