Explode the Moment

    I sat with my fingers glued in my mouth. I had bitten all my nails off earlier this morning. My legs trembled with fear. Today, A&M started their SEC season and we really needed a win. The T.V. screen grew quiet. "The moment we have been waiting for," announced the commentators. The stands were bleeding maroon. Young and old stood to support their team. "I wish I could be there," I pondered aloud to myself.  The whistle blew. We won the toss and were going to kick first. I felt sick. Peering at the screen, a line of Texas A&M football players charged towards the middle of the field. "Gig em; Aggies" was all I could hear.  Next thing I knew, the football was soaring.
