What do people think Penn State will be ranked in the preseason AVCA poll? I think No. 9 is fairly realistic.

He sees the world through Rose Colored Glasses (TM) -- not artificially low, but never irrationally exhuberant

Ha. Never exuberant in the least! Brutal realism. Sounds like a style of architecture.

Weren't we at #12 at the end of last season? The AVCA preseason poll is often strikingly (awe-inspiringly? incredibly?) similar to the final poll from the previous season.

There seems to be one player missing? I can't seem to "see" Jonni (is she the one missing, or am I just an idiot?)

I've counted a couple of times and gotten 19 -- so if that's right, then 2 are missing. And I have no idea who they are. Not really a big deal (that they are missing). I seem to recall one or two missing previous Booster Club picnics for a variety of reasons.
