How long can a 10 year old wait? It seems like years ago that she stood on the seats in the Dome, screaming at the top of her lungs as number 4, Johnny Gray twisted and turned, bobbed and weaved and even did a 360 as he scampered into the end zone. She had never heard it so loud in the Dome in the 10 years she had been going to games. The marching band, the keys, everyone dressed in their purple and gold. Summer's been fun, well most of it anyhow, but it's Panther football that keeps her awake a night. It's like waiting for Christmas. You think you know what's in that big present under the tree, but you're not sure until you rip off the wrapping. Mom and dad keep saying, "don't wish your life away, football season will be here before you know it." But then, she hears mom and dad arguing about what time they want to start tailgating this season and her dad says, "I don't care, let's just get this season started."
Yup, it's under 100 days now and her favorite time of year will be here. She's heard that folks are already painting the field and that the Panther will be in the center. That's so awesome. She finds herself humming the fight song because she hasn't learned all the words yet, but she will. She doesn't even know who the Panthers play in their first home game and she doesn't even care. It's Panther football and that's all that matters. She knows that she and her parents and friends will listen to Gary and his "oh baby's" for the first game 'cause it's on the road. But, then they come home to the Dome. "Ladies and Gentlemen, a fer-----." Darn it what's that word????!!!!!
Maybe she'll think of it tonight-----since she won't be able to sleep.
