that’s hot…

saying “Give me the ball !” Her intensity was so awesome (in a Zug sort of way).

Miami had just scored a touchdown late in the game & they cut to a shot of Flutie on the sidelines. He just nods his like “I know what I need to do.” Then he goes out & throws “The Pass”.

We don’t look good. Stanford is also blocking everything in sight.

Good passing will do that.

Nice 15-5 run to close out that game. Let’s keep it goin’, ladies.

to watch but it is much better on the beach in bikinis.

Joepa wouldn’t let them play without tucking in their shirts.

Their blockers are killing us.

Barbosa is hot.

Football school my ass.

I watched a lot of Olympics volleyball this summer, and Penn State’s women’s games have been awesome. My 5-year-old son even didn’t want to go to bed because he wanted to stay up and watch. He even wanted to wear his football jersey to bed (that’s my boy!).

I will definitely have to make an effort to follow the season more closely next year.

have instant replay

the only person in the building not watching is the official scorer

Please get rid of it.

But why do they give us the baseline camera angle on game point? Sheesh.

the worst possible angle

Warm up the Struggle Bus!

So good in the third….

Please.

Concerning the Libero

to a NC…

In 1998 the libero player was introduced internationally, the term meaning free in Italian is pronounced LEE-beh-ro (although many players and coaches pronounce it lih-BEAR-oh). The NCAA introduced the libero in 2002.14 The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from his or her teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be replaced only by the player whom they replaced. The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions. If she/he makes an overhand set, she/he must be standing behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is allowed from any part of the court.

The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. There is also a libero tracking sheet, where the referees or officiating team must keep track of who the libero subs in and out for. There may only be one libero per set (game), although there may be a different libero in the beginning of any new set (game).

Furthermore, a libero is not allowed to serve, according to international rules, with the exception of the NCAA women’s volleyball games, where a 2004 rule change allows the libero to serve, but only in a specific rotation. That is, the libero can only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom she goes in. That rule change was also applied to high school and junior high play soon after.

Excellent way to end an awesome season!

Most Outstanding Player: Megan Hodge, OH, Penn State University

“Destinee Hooker” is not a misprint.

I watched last years game also and it was more exciting with the Cardinal coming back and then Penn State somehow finding the strength and courage to turn it around when it seemed the set was lost. But this year they showed how dominating they are. One of the best teams ever

to watch on the side during the ravens/cowgirls game last night! Being PSU alum helped, but I probably would have enjoyed it anyhow. I was the only person at the bar cheering for volleyball.

And I’m sorry, but other than barbosa, our girls were WAY hotter than the cali girls. They are hot and totally dominated the league this year. Only 2 sets lost? That’s domination alright!

LOVE YA LIONS!!
