I know Indiana is number 1 and Bama at 9 should not be able to play with them. Vegas says Indiana wins by 7. I am just thinking Indiana may not be quite as good as the pollsters, the committee or Vegas think. I will not be surprised if Bama wins this one.

Congrats to Adhi Bhagat for 2nd place finish at Shoals Junior Circuit this weekend. Way to go!

Quote from "The Tennis Coach"

“Depends on what you really want in life. If freedom and fortune are your number one and two priorities, and family is fourth or fifth, you can’t expect to have much of a family at the end of the day. I suggest when you get married, you and your wife come into agreement as to their order of priority. Another thing, it might be beneficial to you to try and see yourself as an old man and see if his priorities are different than the young you.”

From "The Tennis Coach" coming out in May.

“That’s right. They’re standards. Commit to keep them and you’ll have a better life. Here’s another one you may have heard. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

“Sure, I learned that in the fifth grade.”

“Yes, and when Thomas Jefferson penned those words and the signers put their identifying marks on it, they agree to this standard. This standard has become a beacon guiding America and influencing the world for the betterment of mankind for over 200 years.”

Quote from "The Tennis Coach"

Even my teachers didn’t seem to mind when they gave me the obligatory board of education. I had that type of personality that a few licks gave them the satisfaction they were doing their part in making the world a better place.

From "The Tennis Coach"

“People who love most feel the most pain,” coach says waving to Jason Isbell and his uncle Frank as they troll underneath.

“That doesn’t sound too good.”

“But they also experience the most joy. A person has two choices. Risk the pain of loving someone or protecting themself from feeling.”
