Wow... a true fan, Cougarize. Can't even follow his own team cuz they stink so bad. BonJoeV, I think that cougarize has us confused as the same person. Either that, or his obvious jealousy towards Idaho has him seeing things. I'd love to see the surprised look on some people's faces if they saw us "in person" together... I think we would have a lot of friends. For the record, yes, I'll let you buy me a beer for each rude comment as a makeup. **Good god, when did I pass 8000 posts?!

People, I have seen A. Crimes play and as a freshman she has a very disciplined approach to the ball and great foot work. I commented about her after the Idaho game and I was very impressed after watching her play both nights. The girls got hops and hang time. She practically waits for the ball. Got tons of potential...liked the play of Heather man she dug the ball all night.
Aloha,

Crimes is impressive as a freshman. She has major hang time. Blockers are up and down while she is still reaching her peak. In one match I saw she was being told that she was blocking too high. She made adjustments and blocked several balls the remainder of the match. Her game will improve. She does not hit with power, but from what I understand she is being taught to control her hits. I also understand she reaches 10'7". She will get stronger and hit harder as she develops. It will be fun to watch her for a few more years.

Dude, What's your problem? If you had any idea of what you're talking about, you wouldn't have made such a dumbass post. There was nothing in my post that was negative towards Alexis Crimes. If you care enough to be well informed regarding this subject, you should read the following two previous threads related to this subject. [ftp]http://volleytalk.proboards35.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1091659310&start=0[/ftp] (For what I think is a good camera angle, see my post on page 2, then read some of the comments that followed) [ftp]http://volleytalk.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=general&thread=1095996358&action=display&start=0[/ftp] (Yet more discussion, pic 12 is my favorite here) With regards to the Ms. Idaho comment, you shouldn't make comments online unless you can back them up in person. Further, gender based comments always make the accuser look like an idiot. Ok, read my post and read your post. This should clarify you don't know where you're coming from. I will state that you DID NOT say anything negative about Crimes. None of us are. We're (or that's everybody, but maybe you) talking solely about the stupid camera angles that a couple of the pics are taken at IN THIS THREAD. If the Idaho couple wants to go and spend hours scouring different threads for different things I don't care, but why don't you try to stick to the subject and line of dialogue within the thread. That's a novel idea isn't it? Dumbass post? Just refer back to the whole negativity on Crimes comment you made. Nowhere have I mentioned it, right? Please before you fire back, think and respond, because you will not win a battle of wits or words with me. And if you've ever followed my posts, I love to give nicknames to those who I have a certain affection for. Mr. Idaho, your co-hort has been a favorite of mine in the past, and I figured you were the ms. side of it. Back it up in person? Please, are you in grade 2? I'm laughing all the way through this post because i don't take ANYTHING that's others might consider insulting seriously. I poke fun, I laugh and I talk volleyball. And yes I can take as much as I can dish out. Crimes for the record, again, is an obvious attention grabber, who looks like she's poised for many great things. And that is something we can all agree on without the potential hostility of meeting in the cooridors of the SSC for a one-on-one showdown.

Oh, I am a true Cougar fan alright, and I get pissed after every loss and don't want to talk about it. But I will if pressed. Undeniably upset is how I view myself as a BYU fan right now, but we are on a winning streak. And I will NEVER be jealous of Idaho, ever. Come on the V's aren't even in the top 25. CSU, Utah, maybe and Hawaii definitely, but Idaho? Please. It just seems like I was a pubescent poster getting you all riled up over volleyball, but now it seems your partner has gotten all hot and bothered over the fact that I pulled out its obvious errors. Now I'm healthy at just over 400 posts, and hopefully I will not pass 1000 soon, because that would mean that too much of my life is being spent here. I wish that was a deliberate slap at you Mr, but it's not.

Alexis Crimes I have heard can touch 11-0 foot or so. She is an explosive jumper w/ quick muscle - I got to see Nana play last seen and Alexis is the more explosive of the two. Angie Pressey is one of the best pure jumpers I have seen, for being 5'8 she has the best hops.
