The night before.

Here we sit. Getting ready for the biggest, and last game of the 2013 season. We've sat through cold, heat. humidity, rain, good games, and bad games. There have been many drinks shared, hugs, high fives, angry words, and all sorts of emotions shared. Guys, we are playing for the fucking cup. Do you realize how big this is? This isn't and overnight happening. The work of the players and the front office has been phenomenal. There have been a lot of hard decisions made to get us where we are. The players know this means nearly as much to us as it means to them. I remember the Royals winning it all in 85. I don't remember everything as I was very young, but I remember the night we won quite vividly. I want my children to have the same memories of "our" team. Yeah, it's gonna be cold as fuck all during the game. We can go in and warm up or grab a hot chocolate. The players will be out there playing in it. This should be one hell of a game. Both teams are deserving of their place in the match. It may get sloppy due to the weather or the pitch. It may get chippy, well, just because it's us and RSL. Bring everything you have, our boys will do the same. Enjoy the day. Make some memories. Win or lose, make the day count. This may not happen again for a very long time. Then again, we may get to experience this over and over again for years to come. If you can't make the game, be loud at home. Do the same as those of us lucky enough to be there in person. Make memories and act like you're there. I'm off to have a couple more beers and try to get to sleep. This season has been a treat so far. We've all got one more day to go. I will see some of you tomorrow. Come say hi and have a beer. I'm bringing everything I can muster. Together, we can get this done.
