This is a late post. Two of the neatest sports on campus at Florida State are Women's Softball and Volleyball. My sons would say that I like them because they are free - but that is only part of the draw. Although we love to go to Seminole football and basketball games - those games have been changed by the "gate receipts and glory." There is so much coverage and hype that the athletes in search of pro contracts - spend so much time on the sport. In women's sports - even though the players are really good and are recruited from all over the nation - they are still here to primarily to get an education. Many of the women were All-State athletes in high school and they take the sport very seriously even though the chances of ever playing it professionally are very remote. They appreciate the fans that come to the games - and I almost forgot - they are beautiful to watch.
On Friday - "we" beat VT three straight games to sweep the series. Rules have changed a bit in the last few years. To win a game - you must score 30 points. You can score points without serving. The game is very fast paced.
Friday was a busy night on campus - I went to the volleyball game. As I was parking the scooter - I noticed a fall baseball scrimmage in Dick Howser Stadium. Also a crowd was gathering for the "Midnight Madness opening of basketball practice.
The attached volleyball picture is a little blurred - but I only took one picture.
