NCAA volleyball

[Van]

While scrolling through my cable guide, I stumbled upon a sports listing which included the ultimate eye magnet for me: "USC"

I stopped, and clicked on it, to see what it was. Turns out, it was a listing for some NCAA volleyball Final Four tournament game, pitting USC against the defending national champs, Penn St.

"Okay, a Rose Bowl redux. I'll at least check it out," I say to myself.

I click it on, and I'm a bit surprised to see that this Final Four, which is presumably a "big event," is being held in the janitor's closet of some little gym in Scary White People, Utah. Flipping back and forth between that match, the NBA playoffs and a MLB game, I notice where USC had gone on to thump Penn St.

I thought USC was a big power in men's volleyball, but apparently they're not. They do have four national titles, but the tv guys are all making a point of constantly reminding us that they haven't won one since 1990. Apparently USC has mostly sucked in men's volleyball, ever since.

So, anyway, USC drubs Penn St, and now they're into the title game. Turns out that their opponent is the mighty Anteaters of U.C. Irvine, who defeated Ohio St in the other semi.

Bad day for the Big 10. Those fuckers just need to just stay away from the west coast.

Okay, since USC is playing for the national title, I figure I'll watch a few minutes of the final, which is going on right now. I tune in, right from the beginning.

You know how the big tv fad these days is to let the football players introduce themselves, with stupid little self descriptions? Invariably some mushmouthed thug will cock his head and with artificially heavily lidded eyes he'll slur out some self serving ghetto gibberish, which is apparently super cool...to somebody.

Well, I'm here to tell ya', things are just a wee bit different in the testosterone addled world of NCAA men's volleyball...

First off, they're ALL white. Every player, for every team. White teenagers = zits. Holy crap. This one USC player with really bad acne said in his little introduction that he hopes one day to own his own pizza restaurant.

I could almost literally hear Gilda Radner snickering.

The other thing about these guys is that they're reasonably well spoken. You could understand what they were saying, and some of them were even a little glib. There was some pointed irreverance, too, and none of it was accompanied by stupid hand signs.

Refreshing. You might consider hiring these people.

Unfortunately, besides being painfully white, way too many of these kids seemed like they could've easily been named Biff or Skippy. Swear to god, if some of these freakishly tall sweethearts aren't huffing striker cock eight seconds after the final whistle blows, I'd be stunned...

[Van]

Gotta Be Fags update: They just announced that USC is also playing for another national title tomorrow...

...in men's waterpolo.

The opponent? UCLA, of course.

Please, whatever you do, don't stick any mics in front of the players' mouths.

Vapid, racist culturalist fuckslab.

In this instance I'll accept the "vapid" and the "fuckslab," since I am willingly watching this shit.

[Screw_Michigan]

Seriously, Van. You should go to an SC or UCLA (or hell, any women's college volleyball match) in the fall, and do a PET. Even better if you work out press credentials so you are right up on that hot tits and ass. I went to a GW match in the fall and was kicking myself for not bringing my camera. There were probably 150 people there and I was right up there in the front. EPOCH.

[Van]

Yeah, but this is men's volleyball. The T&A here...not so much.

I will admit this is a pretty damn interesting sport. I could easily picture some awfully funny shit happening, if the defensive players happen to not be paying attention. These guys hit pretty violently. It'd be pretty easy to see some guy's face get smooshed.

[Screw_Michigan]

Volleyball's a fun sport. It's even more attractive when you're in a co-ed league, like I was in the fall. I played in a social league in Tom in VA's backyard and the toughest part was maintaining mental focus and not staring at the hot clam and ass on the other side of the net during play. Seriously. If you want to do well in a social co-ed volleyball league, get as many hot pieces of ass as you can on your team, it will distract the living fuck out of the guys on the other team. I remember one game, it might have been the worst game of my season (there were many), but there was this one chick with sick ass tits, eyes, and ass and I really wasn't paying attention to the game. I was pathetic.

[Screw_Michigan]

You don't see people getting blasted in the face at this level because at this level, people are extremely skilled at blasting towards empty space, and the blockers are pretty damn good at getting hands up close enough to deflect those shots. It's when you are digging in the back where you get caught in awkward places.

[Van]

I could easily picture defenders diving to the floor and cracking heads together. It's already almost happened a number of times in this match.

I could picture people getting blasted in the mug in lower level leagues, where people might not always pay attention. You're staring at some chick's supple thighs, she smiles at you...BLAM!!

Warner Bros cartoon birdies, chirping around your head.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Even better if you work out press credentials so you are right up on that hot tits and ass.

[Screw_Michigan]

the hot clam and ass on your average d-1 vball team his light and day hotter than kerri walsh, but your point is coming across crystal clear.

who was the vapid fucktard who was obsessed with walsh? was it babs?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Was just looking for an excuse to break out that classic. Possibly G Dub's finest moment ever...which obviously isn't saying much.

[Trampis]

... It's when you are digging in the back where you get caught in awkward places.

Word. Hows your home decorating business going there Lance?

[PSUFAN]

Van, was it Jimmah or you that used to post the super hi-res pics of the female college track teams? My goodness...

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

extremely skilled at blasting towards empty space

Hmmm...between the ears, eh? Haven't tried that one yet. Thanks, bro!

[Van]

PSU, I don't know who posted the majority of them. I only posted a very few.

Oh, and all hail the mighty Anteaters of U.C. Irvine, whose Skippies defeated USC's Biffs in five games (best three of five) to win their second volleyball national title in three years. Those yuppy bugeaters are a fuggen dynasty!

[Terry in Crapchester]

Since we're talking minor sports, last year I went to see ND in the NCAA lacrosse quarterfinals in Ithaca, NY (about a 2 hour drive away). I'm not a huge fan, but when your alma mater comes that close to your hometown with so much at stake, you gotta support the team. And you certainly couldn't quibble with the ticket prices -- $10 for me and $5 for my kid.

This year, ND is undefeated -- the only undefeated Division I team in the country -- and still seeded only #7. WTF??? By contrast, #6 North Carolina has 5 losses, including one to ND. The difference? We draw Maryland (a traditional power) in the first round, whereas North Carolina draws Maryland-Baltimore County. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/10/sport ... thersports

I was happy to see that the Big East is adding mens' lacrosse as a sport for next year (7 of the 16 Big East basketball members field Division I lacrosse teams). It'll help Notre Dame greatly to play in a conference with St. John's, Georgetown, Villanova, Providence, Rutgers and especially Syracuse, rather than a conference with Ohio State, Denver and Air Force.

[SoCalTrjn]

Over half of USC and UCI's teams probably clubbed with eachother for BBC

[Van]

From the looks and sounds of it, I'm guessing more than half of USC's and UCI's volleyball teams clubbed together after hours too, hunching their nuts against one another on the dance floor at The Inverted Barstool...

[Smackie Chan]

there was this one chick with sick ass tits

She had tits on her ass? Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as sick. Also gives new meaning to "sucking hind tit."

[Mikey]

RACK the 'eaters!

[War Wagon]

Ohio State made it to the semis? Eat it, Nebraska. Suck it, Missouri. Take it in the shitter, Minnesota. Fucking swallow it, Florida. Gag on it, Texas.

swotimsayin

And while we're at it, the Mizzou softball team just beat down the Soooner bitches 5-0 in the Big XII tourney title game.

Fuckabuncha' Oklahoma. :P

[SoCalTrjn]

From the looks and sounds of it, I'm guessing more than half of USC's and UCI's volleyball teams clubbed together after hours too, hunching their nuts against one another on the dance floor at The Inverted Barstool...

Thats pretty funny, not what I meant though. Seems everytime I fly in or out of John Wayne a good portion of the flight is the club volleyball teams from Balboa Bay Club/Quiksilver. Quiksilver is owned by a USC Alumn and BBC is in the shadows of UCIs campus, many of the best young volleyball players start playing for BBC teams when theyre 10 or 11 years old and are steered towards certain schools.

[Terry in Crapchester]

Schmick, let me see if I've got this straight. You follow volleyball, at least to the point where you seem to know that the 10-11 year olds are being steered toward particular schools? Is that right?

AND, you claim that basketball and soccer are "pussy sports," and therefore, not worthy of your attention? That about right too?

Dude, what color is the sun in your world?

[Van]

[Moving Sale]

There was some pointed irreverance, too, and none of it was accompanied by stupid hand signs.

Was there also irreverence?

In this instance I'll accept the "vapid" and the "fuckslab," since I am willingly watching this shit.

Make no mistake about it, you're also a bigot. You are probably a racist, but most certainly a bigot.

[Van]

Absolutely. I freely admit to being a cultural bigot. Make no mistake, you are too, as is everyone else here. You're just too much of a P.C. addled coward to admit it.

Oh, and good job, catching that "e>a" typo. Man, you're just killing it.

[Moving Sale]

Absolutely. I freely admit to being a cultural bigot.

So you have hatred for, and are intolerant of, certain people due to their cultural heritage? You are a sack of shit.

Make no mistake, you are too, as is everyone else here. You're just too much of a P.C. addled coward to admit it.

Mmmmm No. I don't hate people because of their culture like you do. I'm not intolerant of people due to their culture. I might find eating haggis disgusting but I'm intolerant of the people who do eat it. No Van I'm not an intolerant right wing fuck tard like you are.

Oh, and good job, catching that "e>a" typo. Man, you're just killing it.

You really are a dipshit aren't you? First it's not a typo. You meant to type it because and 'a' instead of an 'e' because you don't know how to spell "irreverence" correctly. Second, I don't give a flying fuck if you can spell every word in the English language correctly. You are the one throwing stones. I'm just here to remind you that you are not without sin.

[Van]

Absolutely. I freely admit to being a cultural bigot.

So you have hatred for, and are intolerant of, certain people due to their cultural heritage? You are a sack of shit.

Hatred? No. Intolerance? Yes, at least insofar as I do feel a certain loathing towards certain cultures.

Do I feel some cultures are inferior? Yes. That's cultural bigotry.

I also wouldn't give certain cultures something as lofty sounding as a "heritage" moniker. Some lowest common denominator cultures are merely a recent development, having mutated completely in opposition to anything worthwhile in their heritage.

You're also a cultural bigot, without any shred of doubt, so you're also a sack of shit. There likely isn't a reasonably educated person on this planet who doesn't feel some degree of cultural bigotry. I know you sure do.

Make no mistake, you are too, as is everyone else here. You're just too much of a P.C. addled coward to admit it.

Mmmmm No. I don't hate people because of their culture like you do.

I don't necessarily hate them either, but I do feel their culture is inferior, as do you. Who do you think you're kidding? You're not a robot.

I'm not intolerant of people due to their culture.

Bullshit. You merely mask your intolerance, for the sake of political correctness. You definitely feel it, though, same as everyone else feels it. There are countless cultures which just disgust you, if you were ever once willing to be honest with yourself.

Culture isn't race, however. Culture is learned.

I might find eating haggis disgusting but I'm intolerant of the people who do eat it.

Oh, STFU. Go to the least offensive example you can think of, and hide behind it, why don't you?

How very noble and broad minded of you, to be accepting of haggis eaters.

How about stoning women to death, merely for getting raped? How about clit mutilation? How about public beheadings of people who are guilty of far less than the people you sometimes represent? How about bestiality?

How about rampant, willful ignorance? How about religious intolerance? How about violent extremism? How about the exploitation of children? How about the complete subjugation of women? How about basic barbarism?

These are all culture based practices and you sure as fuck loathe them and find them to be inferior to your own. I might even go so far as to say the liberal attorney in you hates those cultures.

What do you feel when you see a stupid, violent, black crack head, with his pants around his knees? He's unable to form a complete sentence, and he's clowning on a smart black kid for trying to do well in school. You don't view his ghetto thug culture as inferior, and something to be loathed?

Sure you don't, liar.

No Van I'm not an intolerant right wing fuck tard like you are.

No, Kirk, you're merely an intolerant, hand wringing left wing fuck tard, and you're also a self righteous coward.

Oh, and good job, catching that "e>a" typo. Man, you're just killing it.

You really are a dipshit aren't you? First it's not a typo. You meant to type it because and 'a' instead of an 'e' because you don't know how to spell "irreverence" correctly.

The fact that on dozens of other occasions here I've correctly spelled "irreverence" rather puts the lie to such a stupid assertion.

Second, I don't give a flying fuck if you can spell every word in the English language correctly. You are the one throwing stones. I'm just here to remind you that you are not without sin.

Once you finally come to understand the difference between an innocuous typo and the kind of language butchery you constantly commit, such as in the wonderfully ironic example in my sig, maybe you'll finally learn to just shut the fuck up.

You're not as bright as you think you are. If you weren't so arrogant and conceited I wouldn't so enjoy pointing out how poorly you spell and write, even as you're berating others for being stupid.

See, have you ever noticed how I don't do that to most people here? Of course you haven't. You're far too self absorbed to notice anything but your own myopia. Fact is, most people here write poorly, at least in their posts on this message board. Not all, mind you, but most. Your writing is, on average, scarcely worse than the norm here.

The difference is you.

Most people here don't constantly suck their own dicks about how smart they are when, in fact, they obviously aren't. Bare minimum, most people recognize that they have their areas of expertise, along with areas of weakness.

Well, all except you and Dins. Dins, however, is joking. I think.

You're not joking. You truly do think you're the smartest guy in the room, on every subject you address. You have zero humility. You have no capacity to simply admit there are areas in which you're weak, such as writing.

Nope, you just keep defending your inability to write, even going so far as to describe how you've proven your writing worth to "people with brains." Meanwhile, you keep proving it to the contrary, here.

That's all on you. It's okay to be an asshole. mvscal's an asshole, and proud of it. Lots of people here are willful assholes, including you. It's also okay to be an idiot. Self professed, willful idiots are legion here. It's not okay to be both an asshole and an idiot. Loudly ignorant is the worst thing to be, and with nearly every post you make you batter yourself with that label.

Just stick to doing what you can do well. Call people "vapid," even when they're smarter than you; even when they've beaten you, soundly. That's fine. That's what you do here. That's your niche.

Just quit pretending to be things you aren't.

[Moving Sale]

Hatred? No.

These are all culture based practices and you sure as fuck loathe them and find them to be inferior to your own. I might even go so far as to say the liberal attorney in you hates those cultures.

So you admit to being a bigot, but you don’t hate other cultures. Do I have that right? I, on the other hand, do hate those cultures even though there is no evidence to prove it. Do I have that about right? You might want to bail on Sac for a few months and go out to the coast and breath some air that has actual oxygen in it.

Do I feel some cultures are inferior? Yes. That's cultural bigotry.

And that makes you a Piece of Shit.

I also wouldn't give certain cultures something as lofty sounding as a "heritage" moniker.

Of course not. You are an intolerant, bigoted POS. We get it.

You're also a cultural bigot, without any shred of doubt, so you're also a sack of shit.

Care to show us why, or do you think that you saying it makes it true?

I know you sure do.

And how do you know that Van?

I don't necessarily hate them either, but I do feel their culture is inferior, as do you.

What evidence do you have to support such an assertion?

You merely mask your intolerance, for the sake of political correctness.

What evidence do you have to support such an assertion?

There are countless cultures which just disgust you, if you were ever once willing to be honest with yourself.

What evidence do you have to support such an assertion?

How about stoning women to death, merely for getting raped? How about clit mutilation? How about public beheadings of people who are guilty of far less than the people you sometimes represent? How about bestiality?

You have no idea what culture is do you?

How about rampant, willful ignorance?

Name one culture that is based on RWI, and republicans, such as yourself, don’t count as a culture.

How about religious intolerance? How about violent extremism? How about the exploitation of children? How about the complete subjugation of women? How about basic barbarism?

Name one culture that is based on that stuff.

These are all culture based practices and you sure as fuck loathe them and find them to be inferior to your own.

You really are a monster sized idiot.

What do you feel when you see a stupid, violent, black crack head, with his pants around his knees?

Stupidity is not a culture. Violence is not a culture. It is true that hunter cultures are more likely to be “violent” but violence is not a culture. Crackheadedness is not a culture, so what we are left with is a guy with his pants around his knees. BFD.

He's unable to form a complete sentence, and he's clowning on a smart black kid for trying to do well in school. You don't view his ghetto thug culture as inferior, and something to be loathed?

Try and phrase that again VanFallacyMaster.

No, Kirk, you're merely an intolerant, hand wringing left wing fuck tard, and you're also a self righteous coward.

Kirk? At least you’re not AP. You post like him, you’re just not him.
BTW-Since when are two spaces required between words?

The fact that on dozens of other occasions here I've correctly spelled "irreverence" rather puts the lie to such a stupid assertion.

Name one.

you constantly commit

You either have no idea what “constantly” means or you are lying thru your teeth.

You're not as bright as you think you are.

Actually I am, I just can’t type. I have never been able to do it well. BFD.

If you weren't so arrogant and conceited I wouldn't so enjoy pointing out how poorly you spell and write, even as you're berating others for being stupid.

When you do it it’s a typo when I do it it’s… what? Unforgivable?

See, have you ever noticed how I don't do that to most people here? Of course you haven't. You're far too self absorbed to notice anything but your own myopia.

Hey dumbass. I have not only noticed it but I pointed that very fact out to you.
Can you read?

Your writing is, on average, scarcely worse than the norm here.

So you admit you are a hand wringing POS. That’s a start.

You have zero humility.

That is a flat out lie. I have told both Tom and you’re buttbuddy racistcal that I fucked up a post just in the last month or so. YOU are a lying sack of shit who will say ANYTHING you think will make you look good…damn the truth.

You have no capacity to simply admit there are areas in which you're weak, such as writing.

I suck at typing. You can read right?

Just quit pretending to be things you aren't.

It’s ok for you to do but it’s not ok for me to do it. Gotcha.

[Van]

Cool. Glad that's settled.

[Moving Sale]

We already knew that anytime you are confronted with the facts you'll run like a girl.

Nice white flag you bigoted assfuck.

[Van]

No need to run. You didn't present any facts. You didn't present any counter arguments. You completely skipped over certain sections. As always, you merely asked questions and hurled insults.

I know, I know. Culture = yogurt, and you're not the least bit culturally bigoted. All those compliments you've given to those you deem to be white trailer trash types, those were meant to be examples of your benevolent cultural tolerance.

Also, "wenst = whence," "hippocracy = hypocrisy" and your inability to construct proper sentences, hey, these constant blunders are merely the result of poor "typing skills."

"Yeah, I can admit I'm not perfect. I can't type well. It's not that I'm a poor writer, it's just that I can't type well, and that's my only admitted weakness anyway."

Your humility...it's overwhelming.

[Moving Sale]

You didn't present any facts.

Hey dumbfuck. YOU made the allegation, that means you get to back it up with facts. If you can. You can't so you won't, you'll just run like a little girl.

You didn't present any counter arguments.

Can you read?

You completely skipped over certain sections.

You skipped my whole post you fucktard.

As always, you merely asked questions and hurled insults.

Questions you ran from like a little girl.

"hippocracy = hypocrisy"

Gawd you are dumb.

constant

One more time because you are an idiot. Do you have ANY idea what the word "constant" means?

blunders are merely the result of poor "typing skills."

But when you do it it is merely a typo? Is there a light going on in your feeble brain?

and that's my only admitted weakness anyway."

Hey cocknozzle, you might want to actually read my post before you spout off.

Your humility...it's overwhelming.

Your brain is underwhelming.

Come on Van show us all these times you've spelled "irreverence" correctly.

It just KILLS you that I make boat loads of money using words and you are just some sadsack fuckhole from the valley living on your trike selling wages who thinks Cav and Pag being in town is a good reason to sit at home watching watching Rush vids on youtube.... again

[Van]

Okay, that one threw me for a loop...

Who, or what, are "Cav and Pag," and where would you have ever gotten the idea that I sit around watching Rush videos?? I barely even like Rush.



As for "irreverence," sorry, but I'm not about to spend time doing a single-word word search for all the times I've used it here. It's not important anyway, since nobody has any doubt that I know how to spell it.

Just for you, however, I'll at least link you to one recent time when I used it here...

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=31330

AP had a momentary judgement impairment episode. I would consider it a "one-off". I think with Ana Ng it's more of a "general-insanity-masquerading-as-performance-art" sort of thing.

Six of one...half dozen of the other.

Somehow, I just know I'd rather watch this Ana Ng finger paint.

Sounds...irreverent. Again, like Buzzer. I could easily picture her painting her walls in her own cum.

Granted, it was "irreverent," rather than "irreverence," but that difference wouldn't affect the "e>a" question.

So, we can put that one to bed, once and for all.

Besides, once again, your insipid little melon seems to struggle with the difference between a single letter error typo, versus something like "whence" and "wenst," which obviously isn't a typo.

Those are the kinds of errors you always make (yes, always), along with your sentence structure erros, for which you're positively infamous. Those aren't typos, and they're not just "poor typing." Poor typing results in typos, which are obvious. Poor typing doesn't result in butchered grammar and completely erroneous words, which seem to be correct to the user: words such as "wenst" instead of "whence." You spelled it the way you meant to spell it. You were just completely unaware of how it's said, spelled or used.

[Moving Sale]

Okay, that one threw me for a loop...

That is because you are a simpleton.

Who, or what, are "Cav and Pag," and where would you have ever gotten the idea that I sit around watching Rush videos?? I barely even like Rush.

Have you ever watched a Rush vid? Have you ever seen an opera? I rest my case

As for "irreverence," sorry, but I'm not about to spend time doing a single-word word search for all the times I've used it here. It's not important anyway, since nobody has any doubt that I know how to spell it.

Don't want to take 5 seconds out of your life to try and prove me wrong? NOBODY believes that.

Just for you, however, I'll at least link you to one recent time when I used it here...

So you WILL take 5 seconds out of your life to try and prove me wrong?

Granted, it was "irreverent," rather than "irreverence," but that difference wouldn't affect the "e>a" question.

So, we can put that one to bed, once and for all.

You really are a dumb ass aren't you?

Says you. OK you vapid pile of cumdust. Bring it.

You spelled it the way you meant to spell it. You were just completely unaware of how it's said, spelled or used.

Used? We have been thru this. CAN YOU READ!!??!!
Spelled? No, I got it wrong. I just didn't feel like looking it up. Works for you right?

Van,
How can you be so smart and yet you have no idea what "bigot" means? You admit to being a bigot but them you say you don't hate people because of their culture. How can you be such an idiot?

[Van]

I still wanna know what "Cav and Pag" means, and no, I've never been to an opera. Doubt I ever will go to one, either. I hate operatic singing, and I speak neither Italian nor German, so there goes a solid chunk of its appeal, right there.

Btw, yesterday I returned to that Salvadoran place. I spoke with the guy there, the friendly owner guy who always chats me up. I told him about our discussion of the proper term for someone from El Salvador.

He said he didn't know, but that he says "Salvadorean," and when I had him write it down he spelled it "Salvadorian," which I know is incorrect.

He did add that while he's not really very educated and he'd never really thought about any of this before he says you're right in that you'd never include the "El" in the phrase. He said "Salvadoran" could easily be the right way to say it and spell it, but he and his friends say, "Salvadorean."

So, there ya' go. I'm going to have to give you full marks on that one.
