Try not to think about UCLA basketball for a while. I am about to put up a football open thread because I want to see how Texas Tech performs. Before I do that here is a simple. If you were to play a tune in your car or ipod to desperately take your mind off hoops, what would you play. I am going with Wilco. At least for now. Not helping yet. I am still here reading your thoughts. Anyway, let's here it. What's the choice for music before I put up a football open thread.

GO BRUINS.

Alter Bridge - One Day Remains

Incredible music, amazing lyrics. Live and studio versions.
A sample:
“As your will is bent and broken and every vision has been cast into the wind,
As your courage crashes down before your eyes, don’t lay down and die.
Cause I see in you more than you’ll ever know
And I ask you why you question the strength inside
And you need to know how it feels to be alive.”

It works well right now.

It also works well

That you can just head off to the slopes to take mind off hoops!

True, I think...

My wife has me helping remodel a place. I hope to put on my skis sometime before March.

Trouble is

Any profound thought is bound to invoke a similar thought once expressed by Coach. But at least these are happy hoops thoughts (understatement).

Choice of music?

There’s lots of stuff on YouTube. For something nice and melodic, I put on “Was ist Sylvia?” by Bjoerling (best tenor ever in my opinion.) For something exciting, I like “A chi mi dichi mai” (not sure of the spelling) from Don Giovanni. If I want to get fired up in a slightly different way, I put on the bed scene from Manon with Anna Netrebko. Do yourselves a favor – search YouTube for that, and tell me again if you think that opera singers are all the size and shape of defensive tackles.
