On a scale of Fern Gully to Venus Flytrap, I am cactus-level nervous.

No need to worry. Had a dream last night where I didn't get to see the game, but checked ESPN on my phone and it said "Cats in the driverseat" Collin had 108 yds rushing with 2 scores and 230 yds passing and another score. We got this.

I just had knee surgery and I'm on Lortabs. It gives me some incredibly vivid and sometimes effed up dreams.

I'm pretty nervous, but it has a whole lot more to do with the implications of losing than the likelihood of losing.

I'm gassing it up at work.  If I was a character in the Harry Potter books I'd be the Leaky Cauldron.

But that's because I had fajitas for dinner.  This has nothing to do with the game.  eff them, we got this.

Yeah, and so realistic. In my dream I was sitting on the field in a folding chair and it was just normal like that was my seat. No one bothered me and I just watched the game from like the hash marks on the 10 yard line. Can't remember if we won.

On a scale of the cheap hand-held pencil sharpener I got at Aladdin's Castle when I was 7 to the full-blown plug-in electric pencil sharpener retailing at Office Depot for $42, I am currently at a nervousness level of the battery-operated one on my desk right now that sucks but gets the job done i guess.

Cool as a cucumber.
This. I feel the same way for this game as I was last week. I was more nervous for the ISU game.

Only nervous because I'm taking leave and flying out to the game, first game in a couple years and I don't want to eff it up.  It would be a long, lame trip back.  Definitely agree with the being nervous about the consequences of losing rather than actually losing the game.
