And here's an excerpt:
DigNittany: We’re speaking today with Talking Head, who played D1 volleyball and has coached the sport for many years. Today’s Q&A is divided into two parts: Takeaways from the Northwestern and Illinois matches, and What to Look for when Penn State takes on Michigan (Wednesday, November 14th at 7:30 p.m. ET) and Northwestern (Saturday, November 17th at 7:00 p.m.).
Before we get into that, let’s give a shout-out to current Maryland head coach Adam Hughes, who has Maryland tied for 7th in the B1G (8-8)! Adam was the Director of Volleyball operations at Penn State before leaving to join Steve Aird, when Aird moved from his assistant coaching position at Penn State to take the head coaching position at Maryland. Kristin Carpenter, the former Penn Stater, who was the Nittany Lion’s setter during the 2010 season and helped lead Penn State to its fourth consecutive national championship, is an assistant to Adam Hughes.
Talking Head: What’s going on there is a fun story. They believe. I think they’ve all got a little chip on their shoulders — which is not a bad thing. Think back to how tumultuous that off-season must have been for the players and for the parents — losing the head coach and having two of their best players transfer — Gia Milana going to Baylor and Samantha Drechsel going to Washington. That’s truly painful, and it’s not anyone’s fault. It’s just what happens. I think you can’t help but cheer for a team like this. They’re really excited about what they’re doing. It’s a nice story nationwide, but certainly in the Big Ten.
