A really encouraging business phone call at nine a.m. And now I'm ready to go. All said I think I'm glad I tuned out a lot of the two week hype. as Julie said,the same themes over and over. I even dug out my Niner accessories. A fifteen year old windbreaker and ten year old hat, and a still in damaged mug. And soon I'll do a littler reflective psyching out in front of the Niner display area near the TV. Some early seventies autographs, a Y.A. Tittle uniform swatch and autographs and uniform swatches from the stars of the eighties and nineties. And a bunch of Niner action figures. And I'll be pulling the trigger finger on EBay tonight, building a new addition for the current version of the championship.

But I have to admit, nerves are getting jittery. No matter how good it looks on paper, once the ball is kicked we face the unknown.
