Dude, you've got way too much time on your hands. There are barely even 65 male college players! 65 is too watered down. It's silly to vote Taylor Sander vs. someone named Brandon Rorer from King College. 95% of us have never even heard of that kid. You could have done a top-16 vote and been just fine.

I think volleyballhawk should be the #1 seed in the Catch Vicelli region.

Got about six hours left to vote in these matches. For those of you who have voted thanks, and for those of you who have yet to vote you still got time before the polls close.

Sorry, but way to much time and to many threads spent on your FCPOTY idea for me!
Plus any computer geek or motivated person can sky their votes.
Vinnie, you do some great work covering the sport of Volleyball.......great for the sport,......but this... for me...not so much!

Thanks for the kind words vspiker. And no hurt feelings here, not everything I do is going to appeal to everyone. Two of the reasons I do this is to help continue to promote the game during the offseason and it's just a fun little way to put a cap on the season while recognizing outstanding individual efforts.

With that said, new first round polls are up for those wanting to vote: www.offtheblockblog.com/2012/05/off-the-block-fan-choice-player-of-the-year-first-round-2/

I'm going to guess that most of us on volleytalk have way to much time on our hands, including me.

Down goes Carson Clark!!!!

Seriously? If he wants to put in the time, and include every team, why bash him?
