"Single word." Way to create a strawman. And maybe the problem is that we can be way too big of jerks to male athletes, too, not that it is somehow "sexist" to expect people to be decent human beings. "Plays like trash" is such a perfect example. Anyhow, just don't be surprised when YOU are...

Heaven forbid that one would choose not to malign athletes online. But you do you.

Just going to highlight this: GS: Is there anything that makes you nervous about starting your college career? SS: That's a good question. I'd say just that people can be very negative. I'm a confident person, I know what I can do and do not let anyone affect me. But people online just say...

It works until you hit a dry spell with in-state talent. But I would think they could always be competitive. There is also an inherent danger in hitching your wagon to transfers. And that’s when the horses don’t get along. I’d also argue that players constantly on the lookout for greener...

Pins might suit you better if you are limiting OHs to the left side. This isn’t a controversial take; the middle is where the opportunities exist.

Yes.

“I’m more humble.” Gotta love the irony. Sure would be cool if Olivia blossoms as a Gopher. Such a tough lineup for an OH to crack.

Again, where do you draw the line (and slow motion helps how)? I think if you wouldn’t allow it as a contact between teammates, why is it OK to do it as a contact to the opponents’ side? Here’s one: why don’t more teams set a higher ball to the middle?

Every sport with rules subject to interpretation — fouls in basketball, holding in football, double contacts or catches in volleyball for example — are inherently asking for trouble. In and out in volleyball, out of bounds in football, safe or out in baseball, for example, are much easier to...

… you have been too embarrassed to ask (credit VolleyTalk). I’ll start. Can we call them liberi now that there are two?

It would be nice to see the actual rule. I’ve seen it used in JOs but I have no idea if it will be the same.

Right. Let’s all be like Mpls and focus on badmouthing the players and staff. Like real fans.

Talking to the clown Mpls, just for the record.

Mo Batie. Came to the U with Nao and Mike. Personality lit up the room.

OK. Why I am a fan of Gopher volleyball (besides loving the sport itself). It's the people. But not just the current people, the coaches, staff, players and fellow fans. It's all of them over the 30+ years I have been following the program. It has always helped that I have admired the coaches...

I'll give you this much, for someone who really doesn't know what another person is thinking (or know much at all for that matter), you sure are confident. Who knew being honored at senior night was an official binding departure? Or that people can't change their minds? Thanks for the info!

Just trying to educate you. Who knew it would be like getting a pig to dance?

If an Associate head coach was an assistant coach that would be the title. You're held in contempt. That'll be $500.

KK is not an assistant. And there are two, not four.

I’m all for it because “Schoonderwoerd.”
