(OK, swiped and modified the LZ song, couldn't resist)
I'm putting this up early--gonna be changing my Game Day routines in all kinds of ways this week I think...Don't like to concede that I'm superstitious, per se, but then again, as they say about such things, "What could it hurt?"
Truth is, I'll grab anything, at this point. Everything else is getting shaken up, "dazed and confused" this year in college football (yep, did it again--sorry), so I'm goin' with it.
This may be one of those Saturdays I don't see that much of the game. Likely to miss the first part of it working as it is, but thinking I won't rush to the closest viewing-place regardless. May not even monitor the score that religiously 'til later in the game--though while I say that now, truth is I can't see myself sticking to that, not for long. Point is tho' I do plan to brake my own mold as much as possible. Not sure if that's more silly "voodoo" or just plain dread. I would have been sweating this one out under the best of circumstances. By now I don't know what to make of our team or its chances --but "optimism" ain't a part of it. If anything, that "one spark of hope" makes it all the more difficult to read, AND "what I think will happen" that much more painful if it comes to pass.
Aww, who'm I kidding? Y'all will hear from me at SOME point in the proceedings, no matter WHAT happens or what delays me for real. But I am trying to change things up, for whatever that may or may not be worth. Despite all the things I think and say, I WANNA SEE US WIN THIS GAME SO BAD!!!!!
Everything else, everything any of us do and/or say, let's face it: It's to harden our hearts, begin to protect ourselves from the pain we know we'll feel and we fear is coming. AND, however irrational, maybe to give our team some additional "edge" somehow.
"Not much game-analysis here, DRU"? You noticed that, huh? Well, even I realize I've said enough, made my point, at this point. And hell, if he leads a Gator team into Tuscaloosa that gets it done in proud fashion, shows that everything he's been saying about where we are and where we're headed is coming to pass after all, proves it now, on the field, in a most hostile environment, well, then I'll be the first to give Will Muschamp a WHOLE lotta love...
(you didn't think I could resist THAT one, did ya?)
