Being a Husker fan ain't easy!!
This is a poem my wife wrote and sent to me after watching me, watch a game start to finish. She got it right and has been putting up with it for 11 years. God bless her!!
Anticipating the Game
Having sweaty palms, chills, and racing heart
You're waiting for the game to start.
Butterflies, dry mouth, a stomach churn;
You stare so hard your eyeballs burn.
On to the field you see them come.
Oh, there's your team- Go # One!
You're filled with pride, watching them move.
There is NO way they're going to lose!
You sneak a sideways glance, toward the opposing side
Big and ugly is their starting line.
Looking, scanning there's a sea of red.
All of Your feelings in Each of their heads.
The pigskin is shown; It's about to start.
Come on coach have `em play hard and smart!
Adrenaline pumping- You're about to explode.
All senses extreme, on overload.
Oh now there's No relaxing; it has begun.
You're on the edge of your seat, as they start to run.
GO BIG RED!
I was raised a Husker fan and no matter how hard I try not to care, it is no use. I get sick to my stomache, nervous, touchy. My wife deserves a medal. My kids think it is funny!! Only 23 more days till kick off!!!!!!!
