finish

here we are again, 45 minutes from the start of another national championship game. hopefully the result is better this time. i'm nervous, not going to lie; my stomach is flip-flopping like shannon miller on crack (and yes, i'm only saying her b/c of the oklahoma connection - my hatred is still intact). this could be the completion of something unfathomable, a year in which my adopted (and not just b/c they are from massachusetts) new england patriots won the super bowl, my beloved boston red sox won the world series, and my adored alma mater won the national championship. what more could a girl ask for - just a year removed from a subpar pat's season, a crushing game 7 alcs sox defeat, and two heartbreaking sooners losses at the big 12 championship and the sugar bowl. but that's getting way ahead of myself - i don't know what i'm feeling right now; it's too much to comprehend. of course, i'm hoping for the best while preparing for the worst. i've read and reread statistical breakdowns, pre-game analysis, insider's opinions; i'm as prepared as any fan can be. i plan on watching from my trusty world series perch; i'm forgoing all pregame festivities, all adult beverages, all trash talking - i'm taking the high road as i did in the nfl and mlb playoffs. that's all i've got - so FINISH. BOOMER SOONER!
