re: Do you feel your team "deserves" success more than other teams?

Theres a difference between saying "hey, here's something positive for NO or Tuscaloosa. Y'all should be happy" and saying something like "You got hit by a tornado/hurricane. Because of that you deserve to win a NC/Super Bowl."

I think the tornado may have given the team some extra motivation for the season, but to say a team deserves a championship because of a disaster makes it sound like they were the only ones affected by it.
