MBB OGT: NCAA Tournament Championship -- (1) FLORIDA v (1) Houston -- April 7, 2025 -- 8:50 PM [CBS]

ORANGE!

 

That’s been the game plan by everyone who played us in the tourney so far.
Golden has been able to break it with halftime adjustments.

Drive the ball and get their in foul trouble early.

 

ORANGE!

 

It would be nice to take control of the game early so we don't have to make halftime adjustments to come from behind.

 

Looks like a foul to me!

 

Gainesville is absolutely LIT right now! Holy crap. These are lines for bars at 5PM

 

The only way this story ends is with a dub! We got this!

 

Oh just say it, your heart can’t take another close one I think I’d rather come from behind for the win, then have what happened to Duke two nights ago.

 

their guys have 10 ft wingspan

 

At 73, I'm not ready for a heart attack. I want an easy win going away.

 

People camping out at bars last night. Crazy stuff. Place is ready to explode!

 

They are a little different because they are great with help. Really have to swing the ball to open shooters. That’s why they give up lots of 3s.

 

Okay, a full disclosure.

I am not a night-owl person, per se. In the summer, it is plausible I am in bed and falling asleep before it even gets dark out. Winter works because if you go to bed before 8pm ( ) it really does not feel any different than if I went to bed at a "regular" time. And as a result, I can - and usually - wake up REALLY early. Do the math. If you aspire for at least 7 hours of sleep per night and you go to bed at 8, you are now ready to get up at 3am. It is what it is and it works for me.

Anyways, when I have something real on my mind, I don't need my requisite sleep and so I can handle waking up even earlier. The reason for this explanation is because...I have been up for a LONG time and the game isn't going to be on for another 2 hours and 20ish minutes...

And so, if I begin drinking early, which is close to real, and I have this amount of time before the game, I can't be "going for it" so early and remain coherent throughout the game. And so my dilemma. Do I remain remain "upright" for at least another 2 hours or should I just chance it, knowing my internal clock may do its thing WAY before I want it to?

And so, I have decided to entertain myself. No, not THAT kind of entertainment. That would only take about 10 minutes of searching on Google and maybe 2 more to, um, complete my task. So, what is what I am going to do?

Simply, I am going to use this forum and thread to get my energies out, as my hard wiring is prone to do. And with the assistance of the moderators, as well as any folks who are prone to "ding" those who are grating to their own nerves and report us to the proper authorities, I will be expressing my thoughts/feelings through appropriate parallels. I do hope some (most?) of you are entertained. It is what I try to do. You may vote as you like. Don't feel pressure to follow the herd. This is NOT a time and night to be something you are not.

 

Two hours b4 Tip off
