The day is almost here!  One more sleep and then it is FOOTBALL DAY!  Not just any football day, but the preseason home opener for the San Diego Chargers against the Seattle Seahawks.  I don’t know about you, but it seems like it took forever to get here.  If you need game info click here.

If you are as excited as I am can you imagine what the rookies are thinking?  Here are some clips from chargers.com.

“I’m excited to be a Charger and it’s going to be a great day.  I haven’t had an ‘Aw shucks I’m in the NFL’ kind of moment yet, but if it happens it’s going to be on Thursday.  I’ve spent my whole life watching these guys play and now I’m one of them.  That’s a really special thing.   I get to play with these guys and live out my dream.  I can’t wait to get out there and show the fans that we are coming to play this year.” ~DJ Fluker

“I’m excited, anxious and ready,” he said. “I’m going to try to stay calm but my nerves are going to be high for sure.  But I think that is a good thing.  It’s hit me that I’m a Charger, but it’s going to be a completely different atmosphere and feeling on Thursday.” ~Manti Te’o

“I like to be pretty (even-keeled),” the wide receiver said. “I know that as much as I try to downplay it though in the end I’ll probably be a little extra excited.  When I wake up that morning I’ll be nervous and excited.  I know I am.  But it’s still football at the end of the day.  Football is football and I don’t have to prove nothing to anybody but myself.” ~Keenan Allen

I don’t know Keenan, I would like you to prove something to me too!  Can’t wait for tomorrow!
