Friday night lights ... but not football

I had the pleasure of spending Friday evening as Guest Coach for the Sun Devil women’s soccer team. The Guest Coach program honors faculty who are selected by student-athletes and allows them to get behind the scenes on game day. So 5:30pm saw my daughter and I at the soccer stadium, meeting the players & coaches, and having a good time. I will always remember the look of happiness on my daughter’s face as she sat in the locker room among the players, so a thanks goes out to everyone for making the evening so much fun.

Nine PM unfortunately saw the Sun Devils lose 1-0 to the third ranked UT Longhorns. It was a great game and the Devils never gave up. There was nothing to be ashamed of.

Tomorrow the ASU football team take on Colorado after whupping San Jose State last week. On Sunday the soccer team take on UNC-Charlotte. If you are in the Phoenix area, you could do much worse with your time than turn up to the game.
