THE JINX(es)
Ignore the posting date as I corrupted it for positioning purposes. This was posted on Oct. 3rd, 2006 and updated on Oct. 7th, 2006, 9/11/10 and 12/03/11.
Let me tell everyone about the jinxes:
The biggest Jinx: If I sit in the stands at a visiting game, it is bad luck. I have even been yelled at for getting too close to the stands when we are away. This jinx started in 1988. You will not find me in the stands on the road except at a scrimmage. Home games I have a regular seat which I have occupied since the '80's. Broke this jinx during Thanksgivng ame against Deptford in 2011! Proved it was broken in championship game agaiunst PV at Rowan.
The longest standing jinx: Beginning in 1974 or 75, everytime I entered the stadium at Rowan, the other team scored. I could watch the game through the fence at the endzone on the high school end, but I could not bring my vehicle and park or even just drive by to check the score. UNTIL 2005!!! That year with a great BORO player playing for Rowan, I was listening to the game on Rowan Radio and Rowan was losing to Robert Morris. I headed to the game and started yelling at Sakeen and yelling the old fashioned (for Rowan) GO BORO! Rowan came back to win. I attended a few other games and Rowan won all that I attended. I attributed it to the fact that a BORO player was playing and therefore the Rowan Jinx was ovverriden by the presence of THE BORO. This past weekend, having beeen told by the mother of a certain Rowan Radio personality that I should come and break the jinx at that particular game, I came home from the game at Deptford only to discover that THE PROFS were behind 17-10. I ran over there and started yelling. I yelled at the cheerleaders and they started making noise and then the crowd made some noise and I ran down to the end zone and yelled at THE PROFS to bring it down here. They did. I set foot on the visiting stands to jinx them and then they did it again and won. This jinx is over!
The questionable jinx: For a period of time, if I went to a game "neutral" and sat in your stands, you lost. This jinx ended with a couple of trips to Sterling where I sat in their stands. Then I sat for a little while in Delsea's stands against GC in 2006 and Delsea had no problems while I sat there. This jinx is still under investigation - as of Oct. 7, 2006 it was been determined that this jinx only happens if I want the team to lose. I did not jinx Paulsboro by sitting with them. I did jinx Delsea (home stands) in the first half of the Clearview game, but did not jinx THE VIEW by sitting with them in the second half. Or maybe there is no jinx here and I just know what is going to happen ahead of time.

Update: 11/12/12
BORO has done well and steadily improved since 1st game.
When you look at this team, there are 3 potential Division 1-A players!
Game 1: loss to PG - I attribute this loss to special teams as there were many bad snaps on punts an no extra points wre converted. The bad snaps led to 2 TDs for PG and 1 for the BORO. If you remove those scores, then the final is 20-18 and the extra points are the difference.
Game 2: 14-7 over Woodstown - struggled with pass completions or add 3 or 4 TDs
Game 3: 45-23 over Gloucester - Corey Clement ran all over the place and set South Jersey record for rushing yards in one game.
Game 4: 39-10 win over Schalick - tough hitting game - tougher than score
Game 5: 59-6 easy win over Salem and an all-time South Jersey rushing record for Corey!
Game 6: 35-0 win over Highland - this is where we started to be really good! passing game greatly improved
Game 7: 60-14 crushing of Pennsville - no doubt which team is better - balanced attack by BORO!
Game 8: 51-6 over Gloucester Catholic; 51-0 until last play of game!
Game 9: round 1 -home vs. Pennsville
Game 10: round 2 - probably at Woodbury
Game 11: Thanksgiving vs. Deptford
Game 12: final at Rowan at 10:00 am - probably vs. PG
