Darn! Texas came back to win Set 2. So much for my dreams of Jerritt Elliot's ruined evening.

Welcome to our world. Can't promise eternal happiness or inner peace. Maybe you'll be amused now and then. Lost the inner peace when brown graduated then got it back with Hancock then lost it again when she graduated. It comes and goes. Lol. Havnt found anyone on this team giving me real peace yet. I'm hoping blossom and Hampton bring me some security in years to come. But hey overall penn state sports in good place right now with volleyball wrestling soccer and football. Can't complain too much. The Micha years were special. PSU was really fortunate to get her. I believe she's my all-time favorite player. |

I'm interested to see what will happen next year. Isn't Hampton the top rated Libero comming in next years class and white is def above average or when her career is over will be in my option. Those two on the floor together could be crazy defensive coverage if it's even possible. Back to this season though I'm excited for next weekends tourney. |

Blair visited with the high school team my friend was coaching before her senior year. He said she was really nice and very patient with the kids. Is she still coaching at Buffalo?
I liked how she played. I enjoyed watching her performance in the 2010 Final Four.
I haven't paid much attention to recruiting. It's important, just not my strong suit.

I liked how she played. I enjoyed watching her performance in the 2010 Final Four. Last I heard she was still head coach there. She got her 4 rings. I also heard she was very nice. I loved watching her play. I thought she would be great on psu coaching staff but happy she got a hc gig at buffalo. Then micha came along and grabbed my attention as I'm sure she did with a lot of people. |

I'm hoping that doesn't become the blueprint for all the B1G teams to really stress PSU's defense. Conner's a lefty and lefty setters are dangerous when they are as good as her. Most right handed setters can't dump/slam like lefty's can. Case in point Hancock. I don't know who has lefty setters in the BIG this year. In my humble opinion, our teams are usually a bit on the weak side in those dratted 'dump' shots, whether from the setter or some other hitter. They seems to catch our team by surprise almost every time. |

And don't forget men's ice hockey! [In listing all the sports that Penn State is excelling in right now.]

I hope it has all the freezes and jump-forwards. Those were fun. |

I can think of 5 to reasons why, which coaches can never never accept openly. The cool thing is that the team was strong enough when it mattered. |

C'mon Cross5, you know that for the 2017 season, instead of saying "I just dont think we were cognitively 'all present'", you're supposed to say we were missing connectedness.  (just between us, I think "I just dont think we were cognitively 'all present'" verged on being poetic in it's beauty) Now that that's out of the way, what are the "5 reasons?" You can't leave us hanging like that--unless it's deliberate. |

Just watched the fifth set. I'm impressed by the team's composure and mental toughness. Weiskircher isn't a demonstrative player, but she's steady. Frantti has really mastered tooling the block and her stamina is no longer in question. Lee doesn't get tired, apparently; and it's a damned good thing. Kendall White looks like the de facto team leader. Deterring seems happy with her role. They look a lot better than last year. They all played well enough to win and really that's what matters.
I hope we can watch both games next weekend.

So was just looking through penn states schedule. We finally play Wisconsin twice and Illinois twice but on other end we play Nebraska and Minnesota both once to start and end season. The schedule looks very manageable this season. Ending conference play with Minnesota could set up great finale possibly going to tourney.
