After watching the Super Bowl last night, I started thinking about just how difficult it is to go undefeated.
The Patriots learned the hard way, winning their first 18 games before losing in the final minute to the Giants 17-14. Only one team the 1972 Dolphins have gone unbeaten in pro sports. (Thank heavens, we can continue to hear from Mercury Morris.)
In college basketball, it's been more than 30 years since Bobby Knight's Indiana team completed a perfect season.
So with that being the case, I wonder whether the Jordan boys (23-0) and the Kendrick girls (23-0) can finish the perfect season. The Lady Cherokees have been close before, but lost in the 2006 semifinals to Avondale. Jordan almost lost last week to Spencer, but the Red Jackets held on for a two-point win.
Maybe they can call the Carver football team and ask for some pointers. What do you think? Will the Red Jackets go unbeaten and win a second title? Can Kendrick run the table and capture that elusive title?
I guess we'll know in a month.
