Dawn of the day...

[Purple For Life]

Well, Saturday is finally here. I'm gonna try to catch a few zzzzs here at work, since I slept like crap last night. The sun is glistening off the top of the UNI-Dome. I'm looking forward to watching the pace pick up across the street.

Only dark spot in my day is the big spot on my forehead, but I can deal.

I take great comfort in the fact that our winning percentage in the Dome is 79.5%, and I KNOW our team is dedicated, focused, and ready. I have...well, it's a feeling. I don't quite know how to feel this early.

...is it 6:35 yet?

Although there are a good games on the tube, today will be a longer day than ususal. I won't get nervous until midway through 5:00 mass. I hope father has a short homily.

Go Panther!

I can take little catnaps if I set the alarm on my phone.

The couch in our lobby has had many a good sleep on it, I can tell you that.

Re: Dawn of the day...

The Panthers have certainly created a buzz in Iowa with their season. I think the Des Moines paper has even had something about them every day this week. Better late, than never, I say. Anyway, I won't be there, but will be watching on Mediacom. Hopefully, this is our year. I've followed the Panthers each time since we came close in 1985. (I was a sophomore that year, and marched in the band that day...heartbreaking only begins to describe that one...) Hopefully, we'll get it done on our 13th try.
This one feels different. It's like the whole state is on board from the beginning. Even in '05 the "feel" wasn't there until after Texas State like it is now. Go Panthers! Bring it home!
