Screaming at the TV and pounding on the sofa

I engaged in both to the point that my wife went to watch in another room. I seem to be convinced that if I do these things, it will help. Maybe the fact that we pulled it out in the end justifies my actions....though, I'm sure it doesn't make any difference other than raising my blood pressure.

I swear that games like tonight take 6 months off my life. We had more turnovers than a French bakery and their on-ball pressure was a problem for us but Poetl came up bigger than he has for quite a while.

He certainly didn't hurt his NBA prospects tonight though Delon didn't help his that much. I was surprised how much Delon and Taylor struggled with SFA's on-ball pressure.

Well, I'm sure I'm the only one who screams at the TV on every turnover. I'm glad the rest of you have it under control!

A quick story. Back in '98, when the Utes went to the Championship, I was walking on the treadmill as I watched the first game both for exercise and to stay more calm. Every time I was walking, we'd do well. As soon as I quit, we start to stink it up. One of my sons, about 12 at the time picked up on this and being superstitious would demand I get back on the treadmill as soon as I got off and Utah started to struggle. Unfortunately for me, it worked. So, after the first game, he basically pleaded with me to get on the treadmill every time we fell behind. After two games of this, I gave up and I watched the rest of the tournament walking on a treadmill.

The things we do for our Utes!

Go Utes!!!
