IT'S GAME DAY!!!

When I was a kid I wouldn't be able to sleep the night before and when I did finally nod off, due to necessity rather than wanting, I would only sleep in snatches. I would wake up very early and my stomach would be tied in knots. I would try to be patient, but the seconds ticked away like hours. I would mentally urge my dad to get a move on and let's get the party started. Finally, I would hear my mother piddling around in the kitchen, making coffee and beginning to prepare a traditional breakfast and snacks for the rest of the day. That was when i knew it was time. With my UM pajamas on, I would come flying out my door and run down the stairs to see what Santa had brought me!!

Kick off day, for me, is just like Christmas was when i was a kid. I can't wait to see what Hoke and Company is going to bring me and the millions of UM football fans througout the world!

Let's go Blue!! Kick some Bama ass.

Great post.

I can't say I'm much different. Woke up at 7am CST, stomach in knots.

Normally we'd be looking at a noon start, so I'd have Gameday on leading up to kickoff.

Today is going to feel like 72 hours.

Agreed! Great story indeed.

Happy game day fellas! Cant believe the day is finally here!!!!!!

LET'S GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excited, but tense, so I'm watching at home alone with my brew and food.

I'm going to the gym for about an hour to burn off some nervous energy.

funny story...A neighbor came by last night to watch the MSU/BSU game. He talked through the whole thing. Not about football, but about his work, his girl, his family, his truck, etc etc etc. He came over this morning as I was hoisting the flags and said he would see me tonight. I told him no he would not. He seemed pained that I wasn't inviting him over. I told him, I love you man...you are a great guy, but you don't know when to shut the fuck up. And because i like you, you are not allowed over here tonight. He has texted me 3 times already promising to be quiet, but as much as I love the guy, I know he can't help himself. I hope I don't lose a a neighbor friend, but oh well if I do.

around people if things don't go well...I already rode 20 miles today, might do another 15 at 6 pm or so just to keep busy...

That's just classic.
