Women's Volleyball

I would like to extend my congratulations to the Penn State women's volleyball team. 102 straight wins to accompany 3 straight national championships is easily one of the most astounding runs a team can assemble. And anyone who did not watch this game is an absolute idiot. I am usually the guy at the head of the line hating on women's sports, but these games are EXCITING! They are some of the most stressful events to watch. My only beef is it seems each team has 13 timeouts per set. Its too easy for momentum to die or get shifted.

For those who missed the event. Penn State lost the first two sets and rallied to win the last 3. Worm's boy Russ Rose has unparalleled composure and seems unfazed at all stages of the game. Admirable, but I prefer coaches with a Cowher like emotion. Another amazing stat is that Penn State is the only respectable volleyball program east of the Mississippi. Everything else is out west. This is comparable the the University of Maine being the best baseball program in the country. Think about it. So sound off if you watched the game and look for bowl prediction in the coming days.
