My granddaughter's dream is to play for a D1 school and Oregon is her #1 choice. I'm feeling excited for you and your daughter! It doesn't get better than this!

"watch the kickoff to my daughters final D1 softball season." That specific, proud exhaustion is a universal language. Safe travels.

How exciting! My granddaughter is 9 and starts another season of softball soon. Her 6 yr old brother is in little league. They live 90 minutes away but we go to as many games as we can. Enjoy your daughter’s last season!🥎

I knew I was getting old when college kids looked like kids, because when I went we all looked old!!
@dreadpiratechooch.bsky.social · Feb 5
Nothing ever as much fun as watching your kids’ teams play…. Or sometime painful
@24seenfo2.bsky.social · Feb 5
I love this! All those Saturday’s waking up before the sun to get my daughter to the field and the pride of her making it to the college ranks was well worth it. Man, when it was over I missed going the field to watch her play. Enjoy!!!

Always a proud moment! Good for you and yours! Hope she wins all her games.

Awe the memories. My granddaughter played D1 and now she is assistant coach of a D1 college. My husband and I followed her travel ball team in our motorhome.

Enjoy! That last year is such a mixed bag of emotions for you both. And feel blessed that COVID can't ruin it.
@supremedynamite.bsky.social · Feb 5
I’ll be doing this at the end of May for my baseball player. He should get drafted if he stays healthy but you never know when you are watching them for the last time.
Tracey Ryniec · Feb 6
Enjoy the season. I hope she does too.

My daughter is a D1 gymnast. It’s her junior year and I’m already a little choked up thinking about next year. We are sports moms for so long. We all know it will end some day but I’m not certain I’m ready for it.

My son ended his college D1 baseball run at the College World Series. As you said, what a ride. Enjoy this last year. 😀

Congratulations! Oregon Duck? We're up the road as we both work at OSU / Go Beavs. Women's softball is the most affordable/enjoyable college sport. What a fun ride you and she must have had.

Opening Day. Or should I say, I hope she gets a lot of goals after the kickoff! Don't mind me I'm a 🍆, and kind of a stickler for things. First, Good luck to your daughter! And second, get the terminology right, you don't want her teammates teasing her for your incorrect wording. 3rd. "Great Dad"!👍✌️

I salute your dedication to your daughters sports career. It's over too soon, but the memories will be there forever.

I worked as the play-by-play man for University of Utah softball for a couple of years, right before they got their spiffy stadium built so I was out in the Utah spring elements under a canopy—those ladies put in some WORK. Got to see PAC12 powerhouses, softball is a culture! Here’s to a great year!
