Corn Flakes: It’s Game Week!

The week that we have been waiting for is finally here. It’s game week.

The volleyball team is getting things kicked off tonight vs. Kentucky in the AVCA First Serve Showcase.

After watching them on Saturday and watching the documentary yesterday, I am so ready for them to take the court tonight. I’m curious who John Cook is going to have in his starting line-up for the first game. There are a couple different ways that he could go and I feel confident it’ll be a solid choice.

Then the volleyball team plays again on Friday and Saturday.

And of course the football game on Saturday. I’m excited to see how the team looks and have also started drinking that damn Kool-aid, so I’m ready to go for a winning season.

Here are your flakes.
