Suggestion for the game if nerves start getting the best of you..

....try turning the sound off... (And no radio feed, either.)

When the game went into "Surreal World" mode during the first half of the 2010 NC vs. Stanford, I turned off the sound and I was somehow able to survive until Maya started making buckets in the 2nd half. Then the sound came back on and I was good to go.

Since then I have employed this strategy several times to good effect in big games. It can help.

Red wine. Lots n' lots of red wine..

Single malt, direct application.

Black and Tan, fried pork chops, homemade fried rice and I'm nervous

ICE - are you gonna do the honors for starting the game thread at the appropriate time? I'm thinking mojo here, and want to make sure all of the BY ducks are in a row.

Also, I initially thought tip-off was 7:00 p.m. but now they are saying gametime is 6:30. Not sure if this simply means that the 'official' coverage starts at 6:30 with tip-off still at 7:00. Anyone know?

good suggestion because Doris Burke has made it unlistenable...horribly biased and unprofessional for a Final Four game!

I confess, since I popped a Xanax at the end of regulation. Something I normally only use for stressful situations like flying.

UConn loss > Airplane Crash

Something is seriously wrong with me!! LOL
