This was down-home casual. Brooks sported scruffy facial hair, a cap and a Detroit Mercy Lacrosse hoodie sweatshirt while Yearwood wore a Nashville Predators hockey shirt and occasionally threw on her reading glasses. At one point between songs, Yearwood reached over and removed some “fuzz” from her husband’s beard.

“If I was a fourth-year, I probably would be staying and ready to get back to work for next season,” Ament said in an appearance on The Grande and Big Somms Show. “Five years is a lot. Six years is definitely a lot, and I’ve been through three injuries, five surgeries in the past two years, so [my] body has been through a lot, and I think it’s time to just kind of settle it down and focus on what’s next.”

From US Lacrosse Magazine: Kaeli Huff, Kerrigan Miller settling into new reality.
With only two online classes and no lacrosse to be played, Kaeli Huff has been forced to find ways to pass the time. The USC senior is used to having her life scheduled down to the minute. That’s not the case any longer.
Since the news broke that the NCAA was canceling all spring championships, Huff said she’s been working out and running around her Eastport (N.Y.) neighborhood. Her family has played board games and worked on puzzles to fill the void.
Blessed.

Shiver me timbers: North Carolina wins court piracy case over Blackbeard’s ship.
he Supreme Court sided unanimously Monday with North Carolina in a copyright fight with a company that has documented the salvage of the pirate Blackbeard’s ship off the state’s coast. Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court that the company’s copyright infringement lawsuit, which she called “a modern form of piracy,” could not go forward because the Constitution generally protects states from lawsuits in federal courts.
