Every hectic Monday brings three things: the end of the weekend, back to work, and the new Volleyball polls. We’ll look at NCAA women’s DI, DII, and CIS men tonight. And, speaking of hectic, or manic, Mondays, I am reminded of the song “Manic Monday” by the Bangles and written by Prince under the pseudonym of Christopher.
“It’s just another manic Monday I wish it were Sunday ‘Cause that’s my fun day My I don’t have to run day It’s just another manic Monday”
