Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 5145767, member: 4623"] When I first began following UConn basketball (by radio in 1953-4), my parents used to ration my time because I would hyperventilate. At age 86, I still can[I]'[/I]t watch live. I record games, check the live score every 20 minutes or so If we're ahead, I watch the recorded version up to that point. Then I check again, and so on. I never watch when we're behind. I saw very little of the Maui games. There was seldom a moment what I thought it was safe. Even when we're ahead, I check the foul counts in the espn.com box score. If we're in serious foul trouble, I don't watch. I only watch when I know we'll be leading at some point ahead and we're not in foul trouble. I watch to enjoy myself, not to suffer an anxiety attack. Anyone who does otherwise is a casual fan in my book. [/QUOTE]
