Find me posts where I use Stacey Gordon to attack other schools like you do. Whenever I discuss her, it's in the context of her being one of the greatest to play the game. My God. Are you a pissyass old woman? You certainly post like that old bag in the neighborhood who is so loathed by everyone and is just waiting to die alone. Thadeus, calling a spade a spade is not an attack. PSU, with all of its BIG 10 titles has been to the final four just once since 1999. I said the trend (winning the Big 10 title but not going to the final four) would continue so Keystone gets mad and insults Hawai'i and the WAC. I, in turn, point out that the WAC has more final four appearences than PSU has, then you chime in to talk about the irrevelance of the past while trying to protect yourself by explaining your Stacy Gordon comments. I call you on it because all you ever talk about is the past and Gordon, and you get your panties in a bunch over it. ;D But I could be wrong. Everyone on VT seems to be so nice to you. Yep, you're wrong. I have many friends on the board, many of whom you wouldn't put in my list of friends. I'm sure many would call me an @$$%*!* as well, and that's fine with me too.

why compare one school's numbers vs. the numbers of an entire conference (10teams?) ? doesn't that make the conference you're talking about look even worse?
stace was the sh!t for tOSU and she's still pretty daaaamn good. doing pretty well for herself too, playing on a good team in a good league and NOT standing on the sidelines...

opposed to tying for a conference that is second rate, and not advancing to the semi's? Well, that "second rate" conference has more final four appearences than PSU has, put that fact in your pipe and smoke it. ;D So the entire WAC conf has more FinalFour apperances than PennState, hell UH alone has more FinalFour apperances than PSU. However the Big10 has more FinalFour apperances than the WAC.... big deal. Take away UH and the WAC has a single FinalFour appearance in 25+ years. The WAC occasionally will have another ranked team with UH but not too often. The WAC IS still a second-rate conference in volleyball and you know it and have acknowledged in the past as have most of the UH fans that post here and wished that UH had some alternate. There's nothing wrong with that, but it is accurate. UH fans are absolutely starved for top-notch competition in conference and the storied program should have better. UH simply got screwed over by the MtnWest schools, not much you can do about it. I still think your football team should go independant and then the rest of the UH athletic Dept could join the BigWest again. (but they're not exactly having a top notch year in VB either).

BIK, your beautiful. You classify your post as calling a "spade a spade" and mine is an "insult"? Is saying winning the Big Ten is more prestigious than winning the WAC not calling a spade a spade? Hawaii was also topped ranked last year and underperformed in the tournament. Evidently other teams do not get the same benefit of the doubt as Hawaii. I wish the two teams could have played a few times over the last couple years, so we could determine who is better. Oh wait a minute....nevermind.

Why yes, that's the usual consensus. Hawaii was also topped ranked last year and underperformed in the tournament. Underperformed? the Wahine did something no other team in the country (including Nebraska) could do.... beat Texas at home, and it was a tourney match which makes that particular victory all the more impressive. Hawai'i simply ran out of gas against Mizzou in the regionals, not suprising as they had to fly to the farthest regional from Honolulu to play in. I guess those idiots who create the tourney got their wish.
