I never know if you’re serious or not. Scroll up-lots of pictures of them leaving, on Tuesday. I do not read BYU threads non stop. asking a legit question. Are you going? Ah, okay. Sorry. No, not going. Have tickets to the Mo Tab Choir Christmas concert tomorrow. I’ve been in Utah all week. Husband flies up tomorrow. Going to have to check scores during dinner. 😬 I really just wanted to be in the Fieldhouse. Won’t quite be the same in a big arena. And if I’m being honest, never thought they’d make it after Miller went down.

I'm really proud of what RJP and LHE have done at BYU and so glad to see them rewarded as 1st-team All Americans. They've gotten better every year they've played, which you don't always see. It's been so fun watching the progression of both over the years. It's a tribute to their diligence that they've come so far. It's also a reflection of the great atmosphere Heather Olmstead, Jonny Neeley, and David Hyte have created. I don't know how long this coaching group will stay together; I'm hoping for at least one more year because I'm very interested to see what they do after losing so many good seniors.
It would be nice if either RJP got POY or Olmstead got COY; both are deserving. Yet I find that I don't really care. I'd rather they somehow figure out a way to win the next match and then somehow figure out how to win the one after that too. I think they'd all agree that would be much better than any individual awards.

Given the success, it seems unlikely that those two won't get offers (maybe they already have) for head coaching gigs.

The local sports writers almost always get a few details wrong in their volleyball articles, but at least they ask decent questions and write mostly informative articles. I am a huge fan of Stetler. She has always come in and played wherever and whenever they've asked, whether off the bench or starting, and most of the time has provided a needed spark and stability. To me she will always be 6th-(Wo)man Stetler, even though she's earned a permanent spot in the rotation this year.

Both of the articles are informative and neither one focuses on the existence of twins.
