Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

...when you realize that since the beginning of this school year you have not worn a single non FIRST related shirt to school

...when you spend all day reading this thread because you cant get your mind off FIRST

...when you've had a countdown on your desktop and igoogle to kickoff since Atlanta

...when you keep searching CD every 5 minutes for "2011 game hint #2"

...when you wonder why so close to kickoff there has not been a post in nearly 3 days

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

During the New Years Countdown televised from Times Square you realize that you could play a full match from 2:30 minutes till, and at 0:20 minutes till you would be in the finale stage.
