I can’t manage my own stress watching close games. These are my strategies in the order they are applied (Watching on iPad). More stress=more of the list.
  • Watch game but turn sound off
  • Watch the periphery of the game (no sound) but use random apps on my phone held in front of the screen. Quick glances to scoreboard.
  • Dim screen, with above strategy.
  • Reduce game to picture-in-picture and find distracting app on iPad.
  • Close game and find distracting app on iPad.
  • Close iPad and crochet or cook or something non-UConn related.
  • Open ESPN app to check on score when I’m sure the game is over. (2OT??? Are you kidding me?)
  • Leave the room iPad is in. Pretend to wash dirty dishes.
  • Check ESPN again. Sign in relief.
Anyone else have other strategies to add to my list?

When the Phillies won the World Series, I paused the 9th inning and went and took a hot shower and tried not to think about the game. I never watch the end live because I don't want to see the kids crying; I record it and watch after I check ESPN to see if it's safe.

That last call on Edwards was a phantom.

It was, I agree, but ONO should also have been whistled for her fifth on the Kayla Jones layup that could have potentially tied the game. In general I’m not a fan of makeup calls - the play should be called consistently and correctly whenever and wherever possible - but I did view that one as a makeup of sorts. I believe they came in relatively quick succession, but maybe I’m wrong.

Hearing Dorka, on the floor, crying, made me cry. I expected this game to be close but wow. I want them to go all the way, of course, but don't need any more from this great group of players--this was so inspirational. So much heart in these young women, so much strength.

My heart went out to DORKA , what a soulful, primal cry... Go for
it , Big Girl..... Your family loves you!! Z

I recorded and started watching at like 9:30 but I kept fast forwarding through it because I couldn't bear to watch. Then I just skipped to the end, only to find... the game was still going on (end of first OT). And I couldn't fast forward anymore!

I just had to apologize to my boyfriend; he came downstairs for a snack with 30 seconds left in 2OT and I was like "No, you are bad luck, go upstairs now" and then he said okay just let me get my snack, and NC state scored and I was like "look what you did!" But he was upstairs when they won so I'm pretty sure I was spot on about the luck factor.

Would you make sure he stays away next weekend?~))
