Post Stanford Match Press Conference

All I know is u can’t have a broken locker room. So hopefully it’s been fixed or that player is graduating also

Psu gonna be real young again next year and they need right locker room atmosphere to grow together. White will def be the fire and aggression but they also need another who balances that. Fire and agession is great but sometimes what u need is the cool calm collected leader which they may have not had this year. The leader that says already every stop relax calm down for a second breathe. Followed by motivation talk. I love white man do I love white but her gear is set on turbo all the time. Need a breaker that can stop everything that’s happening and reset

That was most dominant team in the history of women’s college volleyball

It was literally like space jam after they stole the talent. They could kill at Will from every position on the floor and had one of the biggest team blocks I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t get anything over that wall. They were all huge. They literally didn’t have a bad hitter anywhere on floor it was a all American starting lineup and they had all Americans as bench players. It was insane.

Here 2008 video clip

Lost 2 sets all year. I said SETS not matches.

Most think this was greatest team ever. They are what many may classify as just unfair. They are the bar that I don’t think anyone will every reach cause game has changed. Don’t think will we ever see a team like that again. That team could take out national teams. Every arm on psu side of net was power and they were huge players. Think guarding Plummer is hard try having 5 of her on same side of net as opposition. Every starter on that team outside maybe libero could get the ball on floor at will

Or this the cap to 4 straight

It's time to admit it folks.  The head coach of the Penn State Women's Volleyball team is a grumpy old man.  Yes, he is the most successful coach in the history of the sport, but he is still a grumpy old man and a sore loser.


The explanation that he is honest with his team simply does not explain the public denigration of them and their efforts.  It's hard to believe that any prospective recruit would be drawn toward a program headed by such a curmudgeon.


Are there any among you who go back twenty or more years as fans who followed the program closely.  (I have been a fan throughout, but never had the means to follow closely until the advent of the internet.)  Was Russ Rose always this acerbic, or is this a more recent development and suggestive that it may be time for him to sit at home and keep people off his lawn?

I think people are confusing competitiveness with grumpiness or ego.
I love the fact that Russ still has that competitive fire burning inside him.

Anyone who's listened to his pressers knows that he loves his players and gives them kudos and props when they play well.

Russ is demanding and his teams are always in the mix to play in the finals.
HE is the only sure thing in this PSU program.

Stanford will always have the academic allure, and Nebraska the allure of the large crowds.
I'm afraid that when Russ is gone, PSU will go the way of so many other average programs.
That is when we, the fans, will realize what we lost.
