Don’t try to deny it.
We all know you’ve got at least one pair of lucky underwear stashed in the recesses of your sock drawer.
Well, dear students, the time has come to dig them out and don them again, for football season is upon us!
Yes, rejoice, for now is the time of tail-gating, face paint, over-priced team paraphernalia and some of the funniest commercials known to man.
All the fans out there understand the seasonal depression that comes with the off-season. When the last second runs out on the Super Bowl game, a sense of disappointment settles over the nation.
It’s much like the day after Christmas, except the sorrow that is the day after the Super Bowl is only deepened by a great percentage of the country being hung over, and lacking any gifts to show for it.
However, as we inch ever closer to the Next Season Marker, our hearts find the strength to beat again as anticipation grows.
We excitedly engage in know-it-all chatter about coaching changes, draft picks, injuries and whether or not this will be “the year” that the Chiefs reward our never-ending optimism.
It’s hard to predict these things.
However, there is one thing that can be stated without a shadow of a doubt: it’s football season, and sports fanatics everywhere rejoice at the thought.
So enjoy it while it’s here, because the offseason always lurks in the distance.
