I was more excited last year, no question. This year I have to decide if I want to take a work day off and how I will bide my time until a 9:00 kick. BUT, I am still excited. As a true fan, how can you not be? Seeing the Black and Gold take the field will always make me excited. I am anxious to watch new talent take leadership roles...Davis, Cocker and more vertern McNutt and Sash and our devoted seniors, Stanzi, Clayborn. Damn it I think the Hawks will win and they will look impressive in doing so! Now pass the kool aid.
