I have been accused of being a jinx for teams that I root for. My middle child went to Iowa Law School and is a big fan of Caitlan Clark. Sometime in the middle of second quarter, I decided that I was jinxing Iowa and changed channels. I texted my middle child and she was happy that I changed channels. I checked in after the game was over and my middle child's theory was confirmed.

I will not watch the game on Sunday.

She had the worst half she's had all year, and the others kept Iowa in the game. TwilightZone Apr 2024 #1
