Hang out with a girl? Penn State Men's Volleyball?
Decisions decisions.
With all due respect to Mr. Holt...
That would be a lot easier if it was women’s volleyball.

I disagree...
it would be a tougher choice with the girls playing. Then the choice is between 2 female options. here its pretty easy, sorry Mr. Holt.

I'd be worried too
If it’s telling you to surprise someone with your package, isn’t that technically rape? I’m not an officer of the law.
Yeah I dunno, but I feel like this ad campaign is not very well thought out
It says that and has a woman with a shocked look on her face, its terrifying

Are there any strange names on the team?
I mean, what would an open thread be without a funny name that we can add SMASH to?
there is a Sweitzer
or a Goas.

I’ll just lurk here and laugh at everyone’s comments. And post youtube links. So, same as usual.
Someone do me a favor and remember to post “HOLT SMASH” whenever it’s needed.

Even more amazing
Not at all. I figure if he was, he would’ve had his dumb, smiling face as the volleyball tracker.
"...You know, Reemer, someday I'm gonna own a big sports bar."
These announcers are morons
Penn State unable to make the altitude adjustment? Are they serious?
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
It's the only thing the producers wrote on their talking cards...
"...You know, Reemer, someday I'm gonna own a big sports bar."
If they had any sense
They would know it is not the altitude but rather Iowa’s faults the serves are long
Ah crap!
They just reminded us play is to 30, not 25 like the women’s game. And I STILL forgot and thought we were at game point…
It’s been a long week at work, and I think I’ll drink just as much this weekend to reverse the effects..

Oh, and "cold off the bench"
what the hell? Is there a bullpen in men’s volleyball?
I sometimes wonder about the people twwl sends out to cover these things. Where’s Kenny Mayne when you need him?!

Its funny

we're playing shit on the net
even if we lose this game, we need some momentum back here
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
Someone needs to get a screenshot
of that girl with the sign that says “Ace in the hole” so that we can twist it into something dirtier
My roommate has...
non-profit corporations tomorrow, I have antitrust at 9 am…
I’m drunk, he’s high… and we’re both pissed. (he’s also a Lion)
Don't know if anyone remembers this...
From last May: http://www.avca.org/articles/index.cfm?action=view&articleID=9&menuID=97
Penn State men’s volleyball outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) has decided to forego his final year of collegiate eligibility and has signed a two-year professional contract with the Hyundai Capital Skywalkers of the Korean League.
Wish I’d done that.
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
OH MY GOD
Hyundai. Capital. Skywalkers.
That has got to be the coolest thing ever.

which of the following is not like the others

If I made enough money, I bet I could convince some group of Koreans to name a team the “Daryll Clark Fistpumpers All-Hail Zug All-stars”.

We played pretty poorly against Iowa, but we pulled it out at the end. Great test for the boys.

We pulled it out?
And blew our load in the 3rd quarter
we're way better than this team
we just haven’t figured out their style yet
this is frustrating

They’re in CA, which has probably got some horribly mutated herpes since Paris Hilton lives there.

This is shameful...
These USC kids are not only Spoiled Children, but really fucking ugly… And I thought they were supposed to be the pretty school.
Unbelievable
We’re committing so many mistakes. An IM team could beat us tonight.
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
like Michigan's football team?
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
Even their volleyball team
Can’t help celebrating with the rest of the team on the bench after every score
Is anyone else fucking sick of:
(1) the altitude discussion; and
(2) hearing about “icing the server” (serving is a common event, NOT like kicking a game-winning FG)
and it looks like we're at game over.
But… HOLT SMASH
well, that was too early
ps: Kittens?
