Are you excited for season 3, or are you boycotting in the hopes that Chord will suddenly change his mind?

The season premiere of Glee is less than a month away, and FOX has given us our first look at the sure-to-be hot new year at McKinley High. While we’re glad to see Rachel (Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith) and the rest of our favorite gleeks up to their old tricks, we still feel there’s one very important glee club member missing from this promo: Chord Overstreet as Sam!

Maybe we get attached too easily, but we’re going through major Chord separation anxiety — already! Even though we’ve known for weeks now that Sam is officially gone for good, we don’t think the reality will really sink in until Glee returns Sept. 20 on FOX.
