One of my biggest pet peeves is the use of first names (and only first names) of players and coaches. For example, even though I'm not a big fan of Karch Kiraly, I would always refer to him as either "Kiraly" or "Mr. Kiraly," not "Karch." I don't know him personally so I think it would be rude to call him by his first name. Having said that, I'm sure I may have used players' first names in some of my posts -- and I regret it. Won't happen again. At this point Karch is like Cher, Prince, or Bullwinkle. Don't care what you call Coach Kiraly, but I hate people using the first names only of players, mostly because I have no idea who Blanche or Meaghan is.

All comparisons of volleyball to other sports, especially setter=quarterback.
All comparisons of volleyball to chess, especially when color analysts describe coaching strategies during a match. "Oh, it's a real chess game out there, Beth."

"It'll come down to whoever wants it more." I REALLY dislike that phrase.

When colleges have a chess tournament, do they ever bring the pep band? Cheerleaders? That goofy-arse mascot that kids and womenfolk love to hug and squeeze? God knows who's under there.

Curious, what are the objections over “volleyball IQ”? Seems lazy to me. Just tell me why the person is so great. What are they doing that others aren't?

Yes, and in the last set, Anand had some real problems when playing out of system. Carlsen is trying to serve him a pawn up close again today.

I am an avid user and protector of using bro in place of libero. Especially when talking. Flows much better. Plus, I feel like it represents the mindset and demeanor of a lot of liberos. I’m probably in the minority, but that’s ok. Off topic, but I still want to know whether it's LEE-bi-ro (as Karch Coach Kiraly says it) or li-BEAR-oh.
