One, but not both, of UNC or State will lose tonight. Just a guess.

I laugh out loud every time I read this:

"#12 At tipoff get fucking excited. Drink like there's no tomorrow. There may not be. Get pissed. The first time the ref blows the whistle get angry. The first time you pee, really smack the fucking back of the porcelain with your stream. Get riled up. Have a fucking attitude. Make other people feel uncomfortable knowing you."

3/23/2012 4:03:37 PM

3/23/2012 4:08:53 PM

How can you nap a time like this? Hopefully I'll be home from work within a couple hours and will start self-medicating my anxiety.

I was expecting "being around you" but even "knowing you", now that is taking it to another level.

was up late last night studying for an exam (yes, an undergrad on tww) and had to get up early this morning...could really use a nap, but i'm way too excited to sleep.

3/23/2012 4:41:45 PM

Yep. I'm way too keyed up. And if we win tonight, my heart rate is going to be so high I won't be able to sleep for an hour. If we lose I'm going to be too depressed to sleep.

3/23/2012 4:44:18 PM

CARDIAC PACK! BELIEVE!!!!

3/23/2012 4:46:17 PM

3/23/2012 4:52:13 PM

3/23/2012 4:53:45 PM

WE GOTT THIS

3/23/2012 4:53:49 PM

The Wolf represents the fans that don't believe yet.

3/23/2012 4:57:17 PM

^^ Kansas chokes in big games nearly every year

3/23/2012 4:57:19 PM

lol they have TWO helms foundation championships

1. Kansas resides in the state of Kansas.
2. Roy Williams use to coach there. Looking at all those corn and wheat fields is probably what made is eyes go crooked.
3. They turned their back on the Wolfpack so cue the motha f*ckin bodybag

3/23/2012 4:59:49 PM

omg guys

3/23/2012 5:00:44 PM

fact: 98% of kansans can trace their lineage to wilt chamberlain

3/23/2012 5:01:39 PM

It's where BTK (Dennis Rader) lived and did his thing

3/23/2012 5:03:37 PM

Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, was the first head coach for Kansas.

It is quite ironic that he is the only coach in the history of Kansas basketball with a career losing record.

(learn't it yesterday on another forum. Looks to be straight from wiki)

he wept, for there were no other worlds to conquer

interestingly, that quote, attributed to alexander the great, is disputed. he may have wept because he had not yet conquered even one world.

i really enjoy reading about how nervous everyone else is. it brings me comfort to know i'm not the only one that takes this about twenty orders of magnitude more seriously than i should.

3/23/2012 5:08:48 PM

I've calmed down big time from how I used to be pre/postgame

but with that said

I don't recall ever being this nervous before a game

3/23/2012 5:10:06 PM

I started drinking at 12:30. Currently holding strong by only being on my 5th beer. Only 5 more hours...

3/23/2012 5:11:57 PM

Struggling here. Dont know how I will make it to 10:17 sober enough to enjoy the game.

By that time it will just be general feelings of good or bad for periods of time

3/23/2012 5:13:35 PM

I look forward to reading the drunk posting of everyone else in this thread.

5 hours, 3 minutes until the approximate tip off time. If the earlier game goes over, I will scream via TWW.

I thought I had calmed down as well, but I'm starting to think it was just a reflection of how bad we were for five years. Starting with the first UNC game this year, I've been back to my old ways.

3/23/2012 5:18:15 PM

You people posting about being nervous are making me nervous

3/23/2012 5:18:51 PM

Nerves, a dash of hope, and a big pile o dread. That's what I'm feeling.

And it's goddamned horrible.

3/23/2012 5:20:38 PM

I'm so nervous i can't even talk about this game, i just need it to be 10:17 already. holding off on drinking until a little later, but we'll see how long i hold out.

3/23/2012 5:22:17 PM

Not sure who said it the first time....

NC State Fans - Cautiously Optimistic

3/23/2012 5:23:00 PM

PUMPED AS SHIT FOR THIS

3/23/2012 5:28:38 PM

fuck being nervous

you ever seen a meek wolfpack?

win or lose, you should be pumped as shit and believe in your heart we are going to win by 30.

someone repost bronco's gem of a post, because I don't want to tread into inferior, plagiarism filled waters.

"This marks the 12th meeting between these two teams on the hardwood. Kansas has dominated the series with wins in 10 of the previous 11 matchups. NC State won the first meeting in 1958, but Kansas has captured the last 10. Exactly 26 years ago from the date of this Sweet 16 affair, Kansas knocked off NC State (75-67) en route to the 1986 Final Four."

Time for revenge!

3/23/2012 5:37:39 PM

If I am this nervous to where I can't focus without drinking, and the game hasn't even started yet, the what are the players thinking about now?

3/23/2012 5:37:58 PM

i think drinking to calm nerves is fine, and i don't want to be anyone's momma, but try not to overdo it too early just to make the game arrive faster.

unless someone really wants to slam some wood grain alcohol with me, i was serious about that shit

^ players are thinking of what they'll be doing later tonight -- god help me, if we win, every one of them will have a thread describing what they'll be doing.

3/23/2012 5:40:00 PM

CHILL OUT EVERYONE

WE GOTT THIS

GO PACK!!!
