I get nervous about traffic for a 6p start making it tougher to get to tip on time- some of our group cannot leave work before 5p...so makes it tight.

Simply look forward to the games, but yes, come tournament time, spend much of the day with anxiety.

If I were at home, I would be pregaming it with the 81 Wild Turkey and diet coke mix. Instead I will have to wait until about 5 e.s.t.

If you can work in a little carousing with loose women into your pregame routine, the time passes even quicker.

This has always worked for me and I highly recommend it.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

RE: Big Game Jitters
I'm actually not nervous about this one. A week before both OK state and Louisville games I couldn't stop thinking about it, counting down the days hours and minutes until tip off. Had butterflies in my stomach until the game was over. Maybe I'm too over confident about this one and looking ahead to Lemoyne-Owen.

I use to get all nervous and excited before the game but it really doesn't affect me anymore..I use to get mad when we would lose, but I've come to the realization that it's just a game and I have no control over it..

I never can concentrate on game day. It's been that way since I was a kid.

I tend to get nervous when our doods stand with their hands straight up in the air defending the opponent instead of squatting that crap outta here like DJ used to do. Other than that blah, I have a deep dark California red wine which is tasty and real mexican food, not the fake crap. That'll get me ready for 4 o'clock.

These 4:00 PST games for me are killers. I have to go home with the radio off, make sure when I turn on the TV it isn't already on ESPN, go to the beginning of the recording and start the game about an hour and a half later than it actually started. At least it keeps me out of the game threads bitchinn and moaning.

RE: Big Game Jitters
Being a hoops fan is like selling your soul to the devil for crack.

Great highs, but lots of nerves and agitation.
