WE GET NERVOUS BECAUSE WE CARE.
THIS IS MY 10TH DAMN YEAR OF WRITING THESE THINGS. 10 YEARS OF GETTING HYPED FOR THE SEASON AND BEING EXCITED AND BEING READY TO RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL THE DAY BEFORE A GAME.
THIS IS THE FIRST SEASON THAT I AM LEGITIMATELY NERVOUS.
AND THAT COULD BE FOR A LOT OF REASONS...AMONG THESE ARE THAT LAST YEAR WAS FRUSTRATING AND FINISHED IN A FRUSTRATING FASHION WITH A COVID-RELATED BOWL THING. WE DIDNT GET THE BOOKENDS OF A LEGITIMATE BEGINNING AND END TO A YEAR.
THE OTHER REASON?
