There is no truth to the rumor that Tuesday is another Monday. I know that fact because the new Tuesday Volleyball polls (NAIA and DIII) are out. And yes, there are a few changes this week. And, just the thought of change leads me to the song of the day – “Some Things Will Never Change” by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
“That’s just the way it is
Some things will never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them.”
