The "Ted Cruz Curse" and the Longhorns' Petition: Is it Real or Just Bad Luck?
You know how it is - some folks just have that "jinx" about them, right? Well, folks in Texas are convinced Senator Ted Cruz is the latest victim of the "Curse of the Longhorns." This ain't your everyday bad luck either. It's about a whole lot more than stubbing your toe or spilling coffee on your new shirt. It's about a football team's performance going south, fast, and folks blaming it all on one man.
It all started after Cruz, a big-time Texas Longhorns fan, made a splash in the 2016 Presidential election. Since then, the Longhorns have been struggling to win games, and many fans are pointing the finger at Cruz. Talk about a bad mojo! The evidence? Well, it's anecdotal - a whole lot of "I told you so" from fans who've been saying this for years.
But it's more than just casual chatter. A petition has been started by Texas Longhorns fans, calling on Cruz to stop attending games and, frankly, stay away from the stadium altogether. Fans are convinced that if Cruz shows up, the Longhorns are doomed to lose.
The petition, which has garnered thousands of signatures, argues that the Longhorns are simply "better off" without Cruz in the stands. Fans are even jokingly asking if Cruz could maybe sit down with a "game-day voodoo doctor" to get this curse lifted!
Is it just a coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe there's something to the "Ted Cruz Curse". After all, the Longhorns have been known to have a bit of a slump since the senator's rise to fame. One thing's for sure: This is a story that has got the whole of Texas talking! We'll just have to wait and see if the curse is real or just some good ol' Texas superstition.
