Hey Ethan, I just figured out that Kasey Kreider is a student at PSU and does a fair bit of the announcing for the B1gTenPlus broadcasts.  I'm a little slow sometimes. I've noticed that these broadcasts have improved over the last month or so. The student announcers are doing a decent job. |

As I’m sure you all have noticed, I’ve been doing an absolutely horrible job this season of posting articles at all, let alone in a timely manner, so I wanted to try to somewhat explain my situation. I’ve been having some significant health issues and difficulties at my restaurant-industry day job that have been fairly draining. I need a right-hip replacement in the coming months due to my psoriatic arthritis and have struggled to keep my head above water, not only from a volleyball coverage standpoint, but in my everyday life. I’m working on a compilation article that features all the missed postgame press conference transcripts, blurbs about the recent matches, and a rundown of the latest news items surrounding the team, of which there are many. I also still have the Tuesday transcripts to post from this week and last. I have some interviews with the Penn State commits from the 2026 class during their official visits and my conversation with Marin Collins, Lexi Gin, and Gabby Nichols (from this summer!) that I still need to publish. There really isn’t an excuse for my lack of professionalism, especially this year of all seasons given how well the team is playing. I feel very badly about how far I’ve let myself get behind on things. I know I’m letting people down who read the site/forum and are looking for updates that would usually be posted by now. I very much appreciate people’s understanding. No one feels worse about this than me, as I am prone to being particularly hard on myself. Like I said, there isn’t an excuse, but I just wanted to fill you all in on what’s going on with me. You all deserve the best Penn State volleyball coverage possible, and it’s clear I haven’t been coming through on that for several seasons now (in terms of writing more feature articles and doing more than the bare minimum). Sorry for the short novel, but I have been wanting to get this out there for some time now. I just wanted to join into the chorus wishing you the best with your hip issues, and to say that I really appreciate all that you do to support this site. I have enjoyed all of the content on the site, and nothing has felt missing to me. It's great when you are able to post some of the content like transcripts, but I always thought of that as the icing on the cake, and if it is late or doesn't show up at all, there is still plenty to keep us busy following one of the PSU teams we can reliably count on to beat Ohio State. I get that lots of us set high expectations for ourselves and feel badly when we don't meet our own expectations, but I think you set the bar really, really high, and it is completely understandable that a major health issue means you have to work like a normal person instead of a superhero. Take care of yourself! |

Wish we could have kept Maddy B. for another year. She's killing it for Creighton. |

I just realized that we only have 3 more weeks remaining in the regular season (6 more matches).
Wow, this season is flying by.
