We can trace the word to hundreds of years ago when it was used as French slang to describe a lucky charm for a gambler.

Maybe that’s not always important information.  Sometimes we can just be entertained by the fact that someone somewhere started a tradition for a basketball game that lives on and brings lots of entertainment along the way and the Basketball Goal Store staff is all for entertainment and basketball! We didn’t say, however, that all of these traditions are necessarily “nice.” For example, at the University of Houston during the starting line-up for the opposing team, Cougar fans immerse themselves in reading copies of The Cougar Daily. As an… Read more »
