Their initial reactions when I asked the question gave away their true states of mind. They were nervous. One Garrett Richards Jersey fan even called out her husband with a Nope, hes nervous, and he had to agree. Another fellow chose a third word. Confident, he said. He paused and continued, But you never know.

They all wanted this, so very much. They were all excited and they were all nervous and nobody really knew how they were going to pa s the remaining hour before the game theyve been waiting for their whole lives finally started.The whole city is celebrating.
