I admit I'm being selfish, but I just think about how I react to different games we play. I don't get excited or nervous about games Like UAB. If they're on TV, then I watch them, but it's more like watching the orange and blue game... let's see how our guys look this year. I anticipate the big games for weeks. I'm nervous about them. I hang on every play in the game. I laugh, I cry... Tell me that I could have another great game like that in place of another glorified scrimmage and I'll take it every time. Call me a stress junkie, I'm cool with that. :-)
