I'll admit it: It's our fault.

Over the last two weeks, the stock market has become increasingly unstable. Rather than focus on quarterly profit reports, dropping oil prices, etc., it has been tossed about by the whims of the Fed and the brokers.

Why? Because BYU beat UCLA -- by a whole stinking lot:

From The BCS Guru:

UCLA made the biggest splash by getting mauled by Brigham Young, 59-0. The last time the Bruins lost that badly - in 1929 - the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began shortly thereafter.

Yes. The economic turmoil surrounding our nation's financial markets is because of BYU football. How was the economy after BYU's greatest teams won? Can someone check that out for me?
