Apologize for the incoming wall of text, but I have to post in this historic thread.
The day is finally here. Super Bowl Sunday. And the Chiefs are in the big game for the first time in five decades. But as the song says, I'm feeling strangely fine.
I really thought I'd be a nervous wreck leading up to this game, but I'm pretty calm. I guess it stems from the fact that I no longer feel like we have to have every break go our way in order to win. I no longer worry about our defense being a liability. Honestly, as I've read articles and watched videos this week, there's more likely to have been a tear in my eye than a butterfly in my stomach. I've waited my whole life to see my team in this game, but win or lose, I'm going to enjoy the ride. We may not be back here next year, but with this coach, this quarterback, and whatever playmakers they assemble, it no longer feels out of reach.
I've been saying I'll probably cry regardless of the outcome of the game, but I'm not sure that's true. I really feel like if we lose, I'll be down, but still believe "we'll get 'em next time." But if we win... If the Chiefs are holding up that trophy at the end of this game, there is no doubt I'll be weeping tears of joy. To see Andy Reid hoisting the Lombardi and Patrick Mahomes saying this one's for the fans, I'm going to be a complete mess. I apologize in advance to anyone attending the party.
So let's go, Chiefs Kingdom. This is our moment. This is our time. And damn it, it feels a little like destiny. GO CHIEFS!
TL;DR: Strangely calm. New era. We win, I'm crying. Go Chiefs!
