Wisconsin Has Only One Thing To Blame For Their Loss: They Didn't Have Tony Romo

Wisconsin looked like they had all the magic on their side last night after a magical tourney run. They had white guys bombing threes, stolen girlfriends from Michigan, the power of chicken shaped into stick form and deliciously fried. They even got Duke stud Jahlil Okafor’s worst game of the season where he could barely stay on the floor.

One small problem: They ran into the Tony Romo juggernaut. A man known for bringing composure, skill, and wins when they matter the most to the table. Sure he’s from Wisconsin, didn’t go to Duke, and there’s no real reason for him to like them besides they let him and his Cowboys buddies (and one now-overpaid archrival whose knees will probably turn to dust by September) go to the gym and shoot around. Just a bunch of winners doing winner things, you know? Maybe Wisconsin could have saved this relationship with Tony Romo the home state kid, tussled his hair a little, told him Dez Bryant completed the catch…but they should have done something to win him over to their side. You don’t rip up a four leaf clover, you don’t tell people your wish after you blew out birthday candles and you don’t let a proven champion like Tony Romo root for someone else right in front of you. Luck 101.

Bottom line is that my heart sank when Wisconsin lost but sometimes you just can’t fight fate. Some things are unavoidable. Things like Tony Romo: Mayor of Titletown.

Now how would one go about downloading all the copies of a photo on the Internet with the intent of burning them all? There’s a way right? Pictures can’t live on forever these days, no way.

PS At first I thought Romo going black shirt and non-descript hat was Romo’s way of towing the line with the two teams as if people would forget he claims to be a Duke fan. But now I think he was just covering his ass to avoid getting Vined, GIF’d, and meme’d if Duke lost and he looked sad or even remotely disappointed. Savvy savvy stuff, Tony.
