My Excitement for the Upcoming Season is Inversely Proportional to My Writing About the Pre-Season

Which is to say...I'm very excited.

I find it hard to write during the preseason because, honestly, I don't have that much to say. I follow all of the coverage from camp and love the first glimpses of old players we haven't seen all summer and new players hoping to make the team. Generally, though, the most exciting story lines from the preseason are about who is going to fill out the roster in spots 12-15 (or, in our case, 12-13). And while those stories are interesting, they have very little impact on the regular season. Besides, I don't get to see any of the preseason games nor do I see any practices, so I really can't tell you the differences between Gist and Gee and Jerrells and how they might impact our team.

So I wait patiently, following all of the other coverage, and get worked into a lather about the regular season. Which, by my calculations, starts very soon.

One thing I can do, however, is write a preview of the upcoming season, which I plan to post this weekend.

So fear not; once the season starts, activity should be hopping around here once again!
