[Fighter of the Nightman]

Regular orange

These guys must have convinced themselves the throwbacks are bad juju. I don’t care if we look like crap if we win, though!!

Look at that stadium. Awesome! Arizona and Clemson had 2k fans.

I’m getting scared. Somebody remind me this is just a game and we’ve had a good year regardless.

Relax. This is just a game. We've had a fantastic year. And we're going to win. So chill out and await The Wolf TSJ, who should be coming directly.

Hope you installed an extra server and storage today Dan. This place is going to be busy tonight!

LET’S DO THIS! Biggest stage in almost two decades. I think we’re ready.

But we’re NOT ready to go home! I-L-L!

Not even the greatness that is Candace Parker is enough to make me suffer through a pre-game show featuring Satan

Costco spiced rum and Coke Zero. Excellent price performer.

If we win, this is what we all should be drinking!

Feeling good about the game! But as an 85 grad, going have to drink a lot of soda to make it through this ridiculous late game.

 

[jimbo72]

Win.

Time to ride

Playing in LA at 4:00 local time was certainly a choice

19 year wait for this game, LET'S GET IT DONE!

 

[Chad Fleck]

It's been great week consuming all the media related to this game, but I'm all worn out with pre-game stuff.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Relax. It was successful season no matter what happens tonight.

My folks are ready.

Let’s just win this one.

 

[FoundersClub]

Yeah, I'm nervous. Crap.

A result of ‘relevance’

Embrace the nerves!

I have a rewards check from them burning a hole in my pocket. I'm in.

I keep hearing that we don’t have a PG and will struggle with traps/ pressure.

Sleeper piece to the puzzle tonight…Nicco?

I think the first five minutes are going to be pretty clear how this games going to go. We crap the bed when pressure comes, we’re in trouble. We don’t crumble to their defense right off the bat and we could be cooking.
