The girls are all 1st year 16U. The schedule is almost all NSA-A. We all feel like our girls will still be playing late in the day on Sundays.

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way
Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?
Great song, couldn't pass it up
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

Hiding behind a keyboard and screen. You are the guy that always talks the talk but NEVER walks the walk. Why don't you MAN-UP! If you want to tell someone how you really feel, let them know who it came from. I know you will respond without telling us who you are, (proving my point) because you have yet to grow a pair.

Hey Creature can you help us with a question?
We were debating the proper plural of ya'll not to long ago on another thread as my DD has verballed to a school in Tennessee and I want to fit in and not offend anyone once she gets there. I had always been told it was all ya'll, but some think it may be yu ins instead. Thanks for stopping by to visit and hopefully you can help us out.
What team is your DD with?

Hope this helps....
Y'all, sometimes spelled as "Ya'll", "Yawl", or "Yaw", and archaically spelled "You-all'", is a fused grammaticalization of the phrase "you all". It is used primarily as a plural second-person pronoun, and less often as a singular second-person pronoun. Commonly believed to have originated in the Southern United States, it is primarily associated with Southern American English, African American Vernacular English, some dialects of the Western United States and also Sri Lankan English.[1]

[edit] Usage
There are currently seven recognized[not in citation given] properties that y'all follows[2]:
a replacement for singular you
Example: "Y'all's a good wife, ya know."
a replacement for plural you
Example: "Y'all can use the internet at the same time."
an associative plural, including individuals associated but not present with the singular addressee
Example: "We're free after 10," John says. "Y'all can come over at around 10:30," Chris replies.
Chris explains to John that he and John's friends, who are not present at the time, can come over at around 10:30. Chris is speaking to John, but treats John as a representative for others (i.e. his friends).
an institutional plural addressed to one person representing a group
Example: "Y'all sell the best candies, Mrs. Johnson."
Y'all is received by Mrs. Johnson who is the representative of a small candy business
an unknown potential referent
Example: At the sky, Alex yells "Y'all can't beat me!"
Alex is yelling at an unknown party
a form used in direct address in certain contexts (e.g., partings, greetings, invitations, and vocatives)
Example: "Hello, y'all!"
A greeting that addresses a multitude of people without referencing a singular identity comprising that multitude
a stylistic choice distinct in tone (e.g., in intimacy, familiarity, and informality)
Example: "You all look tough, but y'all aren't!"
Y'all enables a quick three-syllable clause that is easier to say than "but you all aren't." In this context, it is possible that the speaker would use "ain't" as opposed to "aren't."
Y'all is also used in the phrase "all y'all", which is a more inclusive form comparable to "all of you". This can cause some amusement as "all y'all" can be interpreted as "all of you all". Note that we can be used as the first-person analog of y'all for the first three properties listed above.
[edit] Origin
The true origin of the term is uncertain. It is a common belief that y'all evolved in the speech of people in the Southern United States as a replacement for "you all" due to its convenience. Rather than say you all, you-uns, you lot, or you guys; y'all may be construed as a single element requiring only one morpheme.
Though the you all contraction argument may make sense when considering current-day vernacular, it is prudent to consider the vernacular which existed at the time which y'all was likely invented. By the late 1700s, Scots-Irish immigrants had settled in the Southern United States. It is well established that Scots-Irish immigrants frequently used the term ye aw. [3][verification needed] Some evidence suggests that y'all could have evolved from ye haw due to the influence of African slaves who may have adapted the Scots-Irish term.[4][verification needed]
The evolution of y'all continues today. There appears to be an increasing tendency, especially on the Internet, to spell it without the apostrophe, yall.[citation needed]
[edit] Controversy
There is also a long-standing disagreement about whether y'all can have primarily singular reference. While y'all is generally held in the Southern United States to be usable only as the plural form of "you," a scant but vocal minority (for example, Eric Hyman[5]) argue that the term can be used in the singular as well. Adding confusion to this issue is that observers attempting to judge usage may witness a single person addressed as y'all if the speaker implies in the reference other persons not present: "Have y'all [you and others] had dinner yet?" (to which the answer would be, "Yes, we have", by a single person acting as spokesman for the group.)
H.L. Mencken presented the argument over whether y'all or you-all cannot have a primarily singular reference, saying that the idea that it cannot
is a cardinal article of faith in the South. ... Nevertheless, it has been questioned very often, and with a considerable showing of evidence. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, to be sure, you-all indicates a plural, implicit if not explicit, and thus means, when addressed to a single person, 'you and your folks' or the like, but the hundredth time it is impossible to discover any such extension of meaning.

Cool pic of the DD and thanks for the chuckle with the article of course I have copied and pasted it into a word document in case I need reference material.
Good luck to your DD's team this summer. I will check out the 12u post in the TX boards as I could use some good comedy after the day I had.
