is always the longest. Friends and relatives coming over. I have picked up the house and vacuumed the floor. Right now, honestly, I am writing this message to pass some time because I am too geared up to just sit here and wait. It is hard to describe how much this game means to me. All the memories as a player, the successes and the failures, come rushing back into my head every year. I will never forget the 90 minute party we had in our stretched van, returning to Atlanta after ending the baseball team's drought against the Pups in Athens. We were yelling out the windows at every stop light. Shouting down Leg Humper fans and stirring up those with TECH stickers on their cars. Priceless. The survival of the Jasper Sanks game, the improbable crushing in 1984 that came out of nowhere, the amazing comeback of 2008, Gary Lee and the fog bowl, Lil' Joe's engineered march to finsh the 1998 edition, the goose is loose followed by Smith's intereception return, and the kick and the pick all hold such a cherished place in my brain. Will today be another? I can't wait to find out.
