They’re an easy team to root for and D’Amour has done a fantastic job.

…I’ve had to remind myself that she’s a freshman. What a great future she had ahead of her - the present is already really good!

Would love to be full strength heading into the NCAAs, obviously.

No question the girls dug themselves a hole, but what resiliency to come back the way that they did. Clutch individual performances and great team play. Special weekend, y'all! Go Hokies!

There are so many good ones:
Family Tradition - Hank Jr
Nothing's News - Clint Black
Neon Moon - Brooks & Dunn
I'll Think of Something - Mark Chesnutt
Wild and Wooly - Chris LeDoux
My Old Friend the Blues - Steve Earle
I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink - Merle Haggard
You Look Good in Neon - Mike & The Moonpies
7&7 - Turnpike Troubadours
Misery and Gin - Merle Haggard
Honky Tonk Heroes - Waylon Jennings

Her new album Crooked Tree is one of my favorites this year so far.

My daughter just finished her last year of volleyball, headed to play college at the NAIA level next year. The behavior of some of these kids and parents is embarrassing.

I also think that the rise to prominence (and ubiquity) of club sports has not been a good trend, and the club experience for many is a poor one because some club directors aren't good at directing clubs and are in it for the wrong reasons.

But you've got to start with what you can control - frequently, kids' and parents' approaches to sports, humility and expectations need some work.
