Same here. I mean, I'm glad college football is back. I spend more time watching college football of all kinds than anyone I can think of. I'm usually jacked up by now but getting kicked in the nads year after year has taken its toll.
pssst.....just between me and you

This. I can't remember being this excited about an upcoming season. CPR and his staff have taken me to that point. I think we are going to realize this year just how lucky we are that Auburn took out the garbage for us after last season.
You should be. I guess I feel like the cement shoes have been taken off the team with Chizdicks departure. Good times are on the way.
I love ISU football and am major excited.
I dont expect a good season however for another 3-4 years. I just think we are that much further behind the rest of the Big 12.
Getting excited and having low expectations are completely seperate things when you arent that annoying guy in the stadium that whines and complains about every little thing that goes wrong when it does go wrong.

What did that mean?????????.......
wait....................Oh I get it now,
I chugged a couple beers and you are absolutely correct.
I gradually allow the anticipation to build until at about a half hour before kick-off I'm at the level of "pre-game jitters". After a few minutes of the game I'm usually getting pretty well calmed down and into the jumping up and down and cheering and high-fiving and just plumb enjoying the game.
The anticipation process will start to increase around 8 AM tomorrow. It slowly (hopefully) builds until at about three hours before kickoff I am at a point where I begin the physical relaxation exercises. I jump up and down and shake my hands and arms and take deep slow breaths just to keep the anticipation from increasing too rapidly. I keep my level of caffeine and sugar intake down so as to not get over-hyped. I never drink alcohol before a game as that would interfere with the whole anticipation-building process.
If I've managed the anticipation process and the participation as a fan well, then by the fourth quarter I'll be so wrung out that I will feel as though I've actually played the game. After the game I will have a deep calm physical, emotional and mental feeling in that I did my best and laid it all out in the stands. Maybe then I'll get a cold beer and slowly drink it, enjoying every last drop and feeling very satisfied with our win.
Basically it's been the same procedure for every Cyclone game for the last forty years (except for the no alcohol before the game bit, I added that to the procedure as I got older) and every game is total excitement and anticipation for a good game and hopefully a win. Go Cyclones!
