I’d be cool except that my mulch order from the high-school booster club wasn’t delivered yesterday. After much consternation, I was able to get in touch with them and it’s been delivered just now. I’m hoping to get some spread before the rain hits and it gets cold.
 
DEFCON 5 for me. I see everyone on social media and sports talk (and other boards) saying that UConn should win this. That makes me very very nervous. I refuse to talk to anyone about the game. I am too superstitious now.

I remember when UConn played ND in the finals in 2015. I actually went to the gym and did a work out during the game while watching the game on silent. I was cool as a cucumber. I often wonder where that composure went … :eek:

It poured down here so I will put off spreading mine until next weekend. I wish that wasn't the case because physical activity is just what the doctor ordered to blow off the excess energy.
 
I don’t like all the social media posters hyping UConn. I don’t like trash talk either. It messes with the MOJO Gods. I may have to either watch the game with the sound off, or not watch it at all. I’m still debating.
 
I actually am comfortably nervous. That’s only because all year even before we played SC, I never thought they could beat us. We blew them out and I was right. I was always afraid of Notre Dame and UCLA. Well I felt and feel like SC just doesn’t have enough offense and didn’t expect them to be here, well here they are. So I’m nervous because maybe I’m wrong about them. I don’t think so, but I do know it won’t be easy. They will make it ugly and foul trouble can help them a lot. If we play a B+ game at least, we should beat them. Just mostly watch Pao Pao and Johnson shooting threes. Stop them and I don’t think they can score with us. But I am nervous because anything’s possible.
 
Taking lots of deep breathes. The only thing worrying me is Fullwiley. She is an exceptional athlete and energizer bunny. We got to keep her from getting it going. KK is my choice to play her.
 
I'm mostly "comfortably nervous". Then I
think of Paige's comment: "It takes a village", and it
make me "cool as a cucumber". The Husky family
will carry Paige to the "promised land"= N.C. Go
UCONN!
 
CALM DOWN! Uconn has THE TEAM, the MOTEVATION and the DRIVE to finish this year ON TOP. This was their DESTINY from the start of the season. I will watch the game with relish as it is played with the confidence of a believer. I BELIEVE!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!

Tense. DEFCON 5 will come closer to tip off. You have to pace yourself.

DEFCON 5 is the least severe...or are you saying that you will set DEFCON 5, then be at DEFCON 1 by game time?

US military uses a system called DEFCON (Defense Condition) to indicate the level of readiness for armed conflict, with levels ranging from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe).

On a nuclear submarine, we used SET CONDITION. CONDITION 4SQ was when we were in port, 1SQ was the world is coming to an end...

I agree completely. I’ll be watching but I’m currently doing my best to appease the MOJO Gods.

My whole life I thought DEFCON 5 was one tiny step away from Armageddon. I have to rethink everything.
 
My seats at Amalie Arena are right in front of a row of loud and avid SC supporters so today should be interesting….next to us are Avid UConn fans …thank goodness
 
I believe that we will win this game. This is Paige s destiny. This team is peaking at the right time and has 3 #1 HS recruits. If they can’t win this one then how could we expect the huskies to win any future National championships.
 
The way the women have been performing, I have zero nervousness over the performance of the team.
 
I'm concerned, trying to be realistic, trusting in Paige's admonition that the team has yet more to give, can play at yet a higher level.

But SC is a great team...much more experienced and battle-hardened than UCLA
but if they falter at any point, then bad memories of the last game might well kick in.

I suppose, that's what I'm hoping for

Went to Aldi the other day and bought a bunch of Easter candy. I’m currently chain smoking it.

Good lick with that Puppy Love. No, not a typo. Send some this way, I need a fix as well. Gummy anyone?

I had a very anxiety-laden dream last night at 1am, involving airlines, refunds, queues, and getting lost. Hoping it wasn’t a warning!
