Open Thread? Hot Chicks! OPEN THREAD!!


PSU Women's Volleyball vs. Ohio State (also women's volleyball, if it wasn't understood). They are rarely live, so I figured some people might tune in. Game is at 7 pm on Big Ten Network, live from Rec Hall. I will be leaving work at that time so I will miss at least the first set. It should be a blow out, even though OSU stole a set from us earlier in the year. However, the PSU ladies have been hitting on all cylinders (I should go into broadcasting) so this should be an epic beatdown, especially since Top Ten Minnesota comes to town on Friday.

Star-divide

Players to watch for: seniors Megan Hodge (11, Outside Hitter) and Alisha Glass (6, Setter); juniors Ari Wilson (7, Middle Hitter), Fatima Balza (3, Middle Hitter), Alyssa D'Erico (12, Libero), and Blair Brown (9, Middle Hitter, Opposite Hitter), and all-world freshman Darcy Dorton (#1 in your hearts, #1 in your program, Outside Hitter).

Darcy says GET SOME...

Unfortunately

there hasn’t been a match that they’ve played on TV recently that we’ve dominated thoroughly from the beginning. We seem to be pulling away a little.

i'm actually disappointed

at the lack of volleyball games on big10

there isn’t much else to televise on during the week!

I love that I just saw Kaleena Walters on the sideline.

My buddy used to date her, and the Collegian dropped a ridiculous line to the end of “Kaleena Walters works well on her knees. From that position, she digs most of the balls that come her way.”

Lol nice, editing fail

Wow that was a crazy rally

too bad we didn’t win it. Don’t think we’ve won a long rally yet in this match.

That would be almost too much hate

Other teams would be destroyed instantly. Like Zug vaporization destroyed. In fact, imagine if those two had a child. I’m not even sure words could describe the destruction it would bring to our enemies.

WHAT UP Y'ALL!

The future wifey bogarted the main tv with So You Think You Can Dance, so I’m watching this in the bedroom. And ONLY watching it. All I can say is that Megan Hodge and Darcy Dorton are CRUSHING the ball…it’s like the present and future all stars. Also, Alisha is nasty, she could set a volleyball onto a dime 30 yards away.

Ohio State is playing one ugly ass game, technically speaking. Too much chaos…

A win is a win.
