Dallas Observer: SMU Sports Are Cursed

I'll say it again:

We need to sacrifice a virgin.

I'll say it again:

We need to sacrifice a virgin.

Male or female......human being or animal ?

The Cowboys are not cursed. They are the most valuable sports franchise in the world with 5 championships.

Mavs, not cursed.

Stars, not cursed.

Rangers, full on curse.

SMU, cursed by its own?

I'll say it again:

We need to sacrifice a virgin.

Male or female......human being or animal ?

Should we check with the NCAA on that?

what would North Carolina do?

I honestly think it's a Dallas sports curse. Yes I know the Mavs won in 2011 but the way they did it went against convention, it felt miraculous.

I keep thinking of these local teams with so much talent and regular season success and either gut punches in the first round or more severe kicks to the balls deeper in playoff contention:

2017 - SMU early exit from NCAA tournament (after AAC champ run)
2017 - Dallas Cowboys early exit from NFL playoffs (after top conference seed)
2016- Texas Rangers early exit from playoffs (after top league seed)
2016 - Dallas Stars exit from playoffs (after top conference seed)
2015 - Texas Rangers early exit from playoffs
2015 - Dallas Cowboys exit from playoffs on end of game shady call on Dez
2015 - SMU early exit from playoffs on end of game shady goaltending call
2011 Texas Rangers one out away from World Series (twice) and still lose
2010 Texas Rangers World Series loss

The list goes on, feel free to add like 10 first round playoff eliminations by the Mavs in there and the 2008 Dallas Stars loss to the Red Wings in the WCF.

2016 - FC Dallas finishes top of the league, star player gets hurt, loses in first round of the playoffs

Ugh that was very painful too. It was great winning the Cup and the Supporter's Shield.... but we lost the one that truly matters.

I read that and thought to myself, "what do I bet that Robert Hurst comments on this..."

First One! A true knight.

hint: if you get into a pissin' match will NTSU fans you're confirming the rivalry. Its simply better to ignore them
