I'm so nervous that I don't think I can even eat dinner. And I need to go over to Mom's for a family dinner, and I'm supposed to be bringing the salad, but I'm typing here. I'm trying to learn everything that I can learn about this game. I'm trying to be as prepared as possible.

I'm so nervous I can hardly breathe.

I know how hard Coach is preparing his team. He's focused. They're focused.

Duke will cut down the nets tonight.

I noticed something funny in the pattern of Duke's national championship games under K. We're now 4-4, but it goes:

1986: Loss
1990: Loss
1991: Win
1992: Win
1994: Loss
1999: Loss
2001: Win
2010: Win

Interesting, eh? Hopefully, we'll break that pattern soon to the good side. ;) They also said that Duke, all-time, had the worst winning percentage in national title games for teams with a minimum of 3 appearances. We were 3-6 in total appearances. Of course, we're the only team that had gone to more than three on the list, the others were all 1-2 for 33%. Now that we're 4-6, winning 40%, we're out of that position too! :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

OK..I'll bite...exactly how long is that list? I'm guessing I can count it on one hand.
