"I want to let you know that The Texas Tech Tennis Team will play in The Blue Gray as long as you will have us. The last five years have been very special to the team and me.
I can't tell you how much we appreciate what EVERYONE did for us while we were in Montgomery. Every volunteer did a fantastic job, and did it with a smile on their face.
We have been so lucky to have three wonderful families that have done so much for us. We keep in touch during the year, and we even had Bob and Sandy come to Lubbock to watch the OU-Tech game last year.
Our team has played well in Montgomery, not just because we have had good teams, but because we are treated so well and the atmosphere is fantastic.
2010 will always be special to us because of our victory, but this has been the best week of the season every year. We are so excited to come back next February to try to defend the title."
Tim Siegel, Texas Tech

"I have never in my life met better people than the hosts at the Blue Gray. Just imagine four families who know nothing about you and make sure that you have everything you could possibly need and basically become part of the family for a week.
This was more than just a tennis tournament. It was a time to remember how good people really are, because I feel at times that is forgotten!"
Jason Zafiros, Arizona Wildcats

"Many thanks for all you do in making the Blue Gray such a great event. We look forward to returning next year and renewing so many wonderful relationships."
Bobby Bayliss, Notre Dame

I can't thank you enough for all the work you put into the Blue Gray to make it the premier college tennis tournament in the country. It was my first trip ever to Montgomery and was wowed by the hospitality, camaraderie, and professionalism. From the Banquet to the final matches, you sure do put on a great show. They should think about planning the NCAA Championships in Montgomery! Our team just loved their time down South.
Andrew Rueb, Harvard

"Very few events get me as excited as the annual Blue Gray Tennis Classic. It is truly a jewel of a tournament and the city of Montgomery is blessed in many ways by this premiere sporting spectacular. It's such a thrill to get to see so many top-rate tennis players--up close and in action... I typically arrive early and leave late. What an absolutely fantastic event for the city of Montgomery and especially the local tennis community."
Dean Dambach, tennis fan

"I was at the tournament ten years ago and I really feel it gets better each time. The families that took care of us were just unbelievable. We already consider them family, and we felt that we have known them for years. Many thanks to the Harris, Chapman, and Britton family...they are the best. The tournament was well run and very organized from volunteers, umpires to organizers. My players will have many great memories of this tournament."
Don Barr, South Florida

"I wanted to let you know how special our trip was to Montgomery, our team continues to feel the Blue Gray is the most fun and rewarding trip of the year. It is so rewarding because the people whom house our players are so kind and generous to us each and every year. We have been privileged to be a part of their extended family and have been treated as family in every way possible."
Peter Daub, William & Mary

"The Blue Gray is a fantastic event. It gets unbelievable community support and the crowds that come out are tremendous. This is absolutely one of the experiences I recommend for every college athlete. It is without a doubt one of college tennis's premier events."
Sam Winterbotham, Tennessee

"The Blue Gray hospitality is second to none..there's really nothing like it that I know of. I've talked to a lot of our former players who still stay in contact 20 years later. That's really what makes this event so unique. It's one of the highlights of our year."
Billy Pate, Alabama

"Once again you put on a great tournament. I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into the four days. I know that the preparations start a year in advance. The Blue Gray is the best and most prestigious college tournament in the country."
David McNamara, Middle Tennessee State

Thank you for all your efforts for the Blue Gray tournament. My son, Matt, plays for Tennessee. He particularly enjoyed staying with his host family. The banquet was also appreciated. Thank you for the memories your tournament has provided my son."
Nanette Davis, mother of Matt Brewer, Tennessee

"The tournament is one of the finest collegiate events in the nation and we are so honored to be able to play in it. As you know, the ramifications of your tournament are immense in regards to the NCAA Championships. The housing is like family to us."
Greg Patton, Boise State

"Thanks again for supporting college tennis and running a great event. Our team really appreciates all of the work that goes into the tournament. We are looking forward to next year’s Blue Gray where Fresno State hopes to go very far."
Jay Udwadia, Fresno State

"We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tournament. Quite frankly, we hesitated about coming to Montgomery for a third year in a row. Thank goodness we decided not to miss our son's junior year at the Blue Gray! It was like reuniting with old friends when we walked into the venue."
Matt & Emily Buikema, Battle Creek, Michigan
