Fangirly Thoughts on the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Semis
So I’m too lazy for the traditional write-up, which you can surely find somewhere else. I rather just say “VOLLEYBALL IS AWESOME!” If only I could play it…
First Semi – UC Santa Barbara vs University of Southern California (4 vs 1; UCSB just won the last meeting to get the auto bid and USC is the at large but ranked #1)
- Sometimes I forget just how huge volleyball players are. If I actually met any of these guys in real life, I might pee in my pants… (Chris Menzel is scary haha)
- Murphy Troy! What a guy. He really does look like a football player.
- Hawaiian-born/raised players are awesome. And yes, Erik Shoji is awesome. (I miss him)
- USC’s shirts really are ugly.
- And the serve hits the net…again
- Or Troy bombs it out…again
- Tony Ciarelli being doucheful again. He just attracts hate (like from me)
- USC is falling apart… Troy’s not having a good game either, poor guy. And the libero… Erik would have saved all of that for sure.
- UCSB – what a run! They are HOT!
Second semi – Ohio State vs Penn State (3 vs 2 but really they are pretty much even)
- Darn, who to root for…Bryn Kehoe 😀 (yes, I am not hiding my Stanford volleyball love)
- If only more MPSF volleyball was on TV. Still, better than the last OSU vs PSU match I watched
- Failhawk and I still don’t like Tomkins hair cut. Sorry.
- What an error by Kehoe on set point. Isn’t he a senior?
- That’s a pretty good OSU crowd. Still would love to see more people.
- Goas just rubs me the wrong way. Ciarelli is still the worst.
- I randomly like Scott Keggeris. I don’t even know how to spell his name. I thought he was someone else for the longest time. Whatever.
- Well, time to get a new volleyball champ! I guess this is the best result for the neutral/person who likes to spread the love around.
- I still miss Stanford 😀
