I'm not very nervous at all. I am confident that the boys will perform well, and if they play to their abilities (or close enough), we will win. Today, for me, is about watching my two favorite teams perform in as special a setting as possible, and about celebrating life. Duke and the Braves for me represent a lot more than just sports, so for this day to have unfolded this way is immensely special for me. There is a great deal of emotion coursing through me right now.devildeac wrote:I'm not that nervous now but I can feel the almost uncontrollable anxiety mounting.![]()

I keep thinking the same thing about Coach K and his staff regarding this game. He will keep this team focused on the task at hand, not the results they and we are all hoping for.Devil in the Blue Dress wrote:I'm experiencing some of the anxiety and nerves before this start, but I also feel an inner calm I've felt throughout this season. Last night I slept well, overcoming the exhaustion which followed Saturday night's game.
The media is throwing out all sorts of distractions: Butler's story, NJ nets preparing to throw lost of money at Coach K, Kyle's "departure," endless analysis and gibberish passed off as knowledgeable discussion. I'm confident that Coach K and staff have planned for this day and how to keep such mind muddling stuff in the background. The guys on the team aren't really enjoying being in Indy just yet because they're very focused on their mission.

Butler just can't seem to get the appropriate respect. And they know it. They're on a mission.
That said, Duke IS the more talented team, and I believe in them.
Go Duke! I BELIEVE! But yes, I am nervous.

I think Nolan may have provided the perfect response for a the "need a unique sign for Crazie friend Caroline" thread. The sign should simply read:windsor wrote:Tweet of the Day:

I'd love to see us come out the same way we did against the holes on senior night. Roy's gameplan was to stop the three, and we started off by promptly coming out and dropping two of them back to back.windsor wrote: If I were K (and heaven knows he’s forgotten more about basketball than I ever hope to know) I would have the guys come out of the blocks with their asses on fire. .
