[NU Sports] The NU Wildcat Super Bowl "Curse"

[MHRJGScott at aol.com]

Just to clarify, what exactly is the NU curse?  Don't we mean the NU  
superbowl factor? The original ex-cub factor as invented by my friend Ron  Berler, an 
alum and lead singer with the del-crustations (Telander's band) said  that 
the world series team with the most ex-cubs was doomed. This is different  from 
the billy goat curse, curse of the bambino, and the black sox scandal which  
is technically not a curse.  As Ron like to say when he asked me to help  with 
a mechanical problem "This is because I was born into the Jewish culture,  and 
for all our many fine qualities, Jewish men are not known for the ability to  
fix things (with the exception of Arnold Rothstein, who fixed the 1919 World  
Series)."

As  evidenced this year with Northwestern and the Sox, and last year with
those  other Sox, most curses can be broken.  The only real unbreakable  curse
exists on the North Side because it is self inflicted, self renewing,  and
IMHO deserved.  <g>
