I've loved volleyball since Sinjin Smith & Karch Kiraly on the beach in the 80's. I cheered on my Aggies with dozens of fans in G Rollie and got to enjoy Stacy Sykora's first couple of years. My roommate and I got crushed by some of the team in pickup games at the rec center.

I've followed Logan, Ifenna, and Ava from their freshman years. The difference Coach Morrison has made is unbelievable. We cannot thank him enough for developing each player to be better than anyone thought and building this team into something we've only dreamed of.

Making the football playoff didn't bring me out of the shadows, but this amazing volleyball team did. Beat the hell outta Kentucky! Gig 'em!

We got season tickets Jamie's first year. Part of my plan to try various Aggie sports since moving back to BCS a few years back. Wife surprised me when she started referring to the players by name a few weeks into that first season.

We joined Maroon Club too, because I had done the equivalent with soccer and softball. Jamie and staff do Maroon Club right. His passion for growing the sport is incredible and he takes the time to teach the ins/outs of both the game and the program during the Maroon Club meetings.

Watching Jamie build this program and the girls grow and develop over the last few years has been amazing.

Wife tried to get a volleyball signed by the team during the postgame autograph sessions last season, but didn't get everyone. At the end of the season, she asked if we could increase our contribution to the level where she would get a team signed ball. I was sitting in the living room this week and looked up to see the ball. What a year to get the team signed ball. Going to have to keep that going.

Also, I have to admit, even though I have had season tickets for football for many years, I've been more excited about volleyball this season. That is crazy to me as football is also having one heck of a season.

I don't know much about volleyball. But I know when I see athletes having fun competing!

There's absolutely NOTHING not to love about these ladies and the whole team.

It's so amazing to think they scaled this mountain, and did it so quickly and convinvingly- like a wildfire in summer.

No matter what happens Sunday, there is a helluva banner going to be hanging for posterity!

I can't tell because I might have maroon shades on, but our team just looks and feels different from every other team. Every girls seems super nice while maintaining competitiveness. Probably there are some chemistry issues within the team (what team doesn't) but you don't see it at all. They also celebrate differently.

This team is just easy to root for. My friends who cheer for other good programs are just ultra competitive. All they care about is winning and having the best players. They love the superstars and super critical of the others. I sincerely love and enjoy every one of our players on the court. I love to see when a non-starter subs in.

I love the fact that all the ladies call their coach by his first name during interviews. It's a small thing, but I would have been too intimidated to call any of my former coaches by their first name. Maybe it's just the maturity of the players or the mutual respect between players and coaches.
