"I'm rooting for my conference" is lame. For a fan of the Big 10, you're really rooting for PSU, a team that pounds your school with regularity, stands in the way of your school's success, and takes your top recruiting targets with impunity? That's like rooting for the school bully who smacks you upside the head and takes your lunch money just because you share a social studies class. I went to Cal for undergrad/grad school, you think I'm rooting for Stanford, Washington or USC (wait, I just threw up in my mouth a little) so I can wear some mythical badge of regional pride and give %*$# to people on VT? Hell no - MIck's tears taste like a fine Bordeaux to me. Weaksauce. Well, it gets complicated. This year, even though the Huskies lost, at least there were two teams in the Final Four that they had defeated. So it would have been some measure of solace had Stanford or BYU won. But no, the Yankees Of Volleyball beat them both.

Sorry but I think we should have respect for the teams we play whether we win or lose. I guess we can decide to be a positive person or a negative whiner. I choose to take the high road.

Lolololololololol Here's a stool for you to get off that high horse. I respect RR and his team... You? That's another story.

Didn't I read a post from you rooting against Wisconsin because they "are full of themselves?" Yeah, I'm sure that was you. Guess the high road took a dip somewhere.

Sometimes you can be too honest. I never said I was perfect but I try to not be a negative whiner. I don't mind people criticizing me if it makes them feel better about themselves. I could understand a fan saying we really need a better coach or some elite players but to slam a school b/c they win too much is silly. Life is too short to carry those negative thoughts all the time. So if it makes you feel better vent about me.

I'm still convinced you're a bot that was uploaded with a PSU/volleyball-specific dictionary.

This is altogether funny. Let people like who/what they like.
Do I really care that Coach Joe in nowhere Texas thinks that TCU, Baylor, Texas, etc., are the best vball schools.
Uhm, not really, and I frankly think it is great for the sport to have emotional fans. Who else is going to buy that fuzzy 3" diameter volleyball hanging up at the concession stand?
