Anxious

I have been a Nole since my Junior year in 1993. I have been through it all. The exhilarating highs, the horrific lows. The rankings, the injuries, the prospects, big games, the Championships. Something this time is different. I have never been so anxious. I ask myself, did I block the painful memory of big games past? Did I not care. Did Christmas and the holidays distract me? Why don't I remember feeling like this?

I want the game now! I feel cheated and lost. I know we need the time to heal, the time to prepare, to study film, to formulate our game plan. I don't care! My anxiety only increases the longer I wait. I realize after awhile, that I am angry. Angrier than I have ever been about football. My undefeated Noles have been disrespected. Our honor, integrity, grit, determination, talent, and coaching have all been called into question where there is no room for doubt. I want this game and I want it bad. I need it like air to breathe. I need to see my Noles challenge the Ducks. To get in their face, to throw off their game.

What can I do? Life's distractions seem irrelevant. Christmas, family, employment are all taking a back seat to the game. Many say, its just a game. Nonsense! Its not just a game, its our legacy. A legacy that has been ignored, minimized, and trampled on.

I have decided there is only one thing to do. I will immerse myself in Duck game tape. To know every position, their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies. All things Duck. It is the only hope I have of reaching Jan 1st with some semblance of sanity. I want to see what we have. To show our mettle. To win or give it all trying. Until January 1st, I am lost. Am I the only one who feels this way?
