The Secret Behind UConn's Dominance Revealed: Dan Hurley Gave Jonathan The Huskey A Bandana To Match His Lucky Underwear

Welp, this is all I needed to see to know UConn can't be beat. You don't give a mascot, who is now retired, a bandana that matches your lucky underwear and not be the best team in the country. It's that simple, you get this sort of juju behind you and you are now in the conversation for best teams we've seen if you win a title. Plus it's just smart to give out as much lucky underwear juju as you can. 

I firmly believe in this stuff. It's not a fluke that your team wins or loses based on where you sit, who you're with, where you're at, etc. I've been this way forever, like a normal person, had to eat the same thing before games, could only listen to the same exact burned CD, had to wear the same tie and sweater to school (shout out catholic school uniforms for making life easy there). Now as an adult and father, that shit doesn't change. I gotta figure out what worked in 2012 because it's been a failure since then. 

If it's working for Hurley, surely every other coach will start stealing this idea. College basketball is based on stealing shit from other coaches. Why doesn't every other coach come out with their lucky underwear? We know Dan Hurley wears red dragons. Now Jonathan the 14th has a red dragon bandana and UConn is the hottest team in the country, even if they are getting fucked by the airline industry. 

Now I will say this makes me a little nervous if I'm a UConn fan (and I am in the semifinals. Fuck Alabama).

Not good! We know the airlines and NCAA won't help Jonathan the Husky out with a nice plane, probably make him sit storage on a cargo flight. But you gotta have Jonathan at the Final Four. If you have a live mascot, especially a dog, you need that dog at games. That's gotta be worth at least 3-4 points at a minimum. But the bandana might counter that. The red dragon underwear bandana is clearly the source of UConn's dominance.
