We've posted a post-Stanford mactch Q&A with Talking Head on DigNittanyVolleyball.com. Here's the link: www.dignittanyvolleyball.com/talking-head-rides-again-post-stanford-match-qa/And here's a brief excerpt: DigNittany: What were your overall thoughts about the Stanford match last night? Talking Head: First of all, it was just a pleasure to see the energy level for women's volleyball in general, and what Penn State's fans were able to bring last night. It was a great show that presented extremely well on the broadcast. The play-by-play and the color commentary by Salima [Rockwell, former Penn State All-American and associate head-coach] was fantastic. It's so nice to have someone who is so eloquent and knowledgeable about the game. Her acumen is really sharp, and that added to the way the game came across during the broadcast. The energy level was clearly through the roof in Rec Hall. I've been in those experiences and it's just a lot of fun. The kids were excited; the parents were excited; I think anyone who likes the sport was getting their money's worth last night. It was two fantastic coaches, two fantastic programs, two terrific teams and, by the way, two of the best liberos in the game, which was a treat. They really kept their teams in the match.

Penn State as the 4th best team in the country? I don’t think so. No decent OHs, and with Stanford playing terrible thus far, should’ve capitalized. Kipp should be the opposite. Waiting for Gray and Hentz to join the party. I agree on Gray and Hentz. In Gray's case I wonder if it has anything to do with the new assistant. They haven't played the perfect match but I wouldn't say they have been terrible.

Not a Kendall White fan--too much white noise. I can’t handle White’s blatant arrogance. She treats the kids that wipe the court on the sidelines like indentured servants. The PSU fans will claim she’s competitive, but she’s completely classless.

She needs to juts play the game and not use other "tactics "

She needs to juts play the game and not use other "tactics " A lot of players and coaches use any tactic available to gain a advantage. Cook is notorious with that. If it’s not illegal and your smart enough to figure it out and it helps your team, kudos to you. Look at all the acting and tactics use to stall and draw penalties and such in professional sports. Don’t blame the players for being smart enough to capitalize on it. Blame the refs for allowing it as well as league

The refs are in part to blame, I agree, but there’s a point where it’s too much. Speaking of the refs from this weekend, hopefully they schedule an eye exam between now & their next scheduled match because the amount of missed calls this weekend was borderline criminal.

You don’t know that she isn’t smart. You sound very bitter. She brings a ton of energy to the court and if she was in your team you would love her. Go ahead deny it all u want cause we both know you will but we know the truth Btw didn’t you know sports weren’t about class it’s about talent just look around professional sports and u see it everywhere. Character doesn’t matter to anyone it seems, skill does. That’s why so many athletes get away with so much crap. It’s all about the money

It’s all about the money I can assure you that if White were on my team & yelled, demanded, & ridiculed the floor wipers like she did Friday night, I would want nothing to do with her regardless of her ability on the court. Your reference to professional sports has nothing to do with what I’m talking about. These kids are student athletes & class is something that the Penn State culture is clearly lacking.

U called white rude and classless. U don’t even know her. That’s what I mean by being judgemental. Your judging her based off what u see for a hour in half competing. That very easy to do and some would call that classless in itself. Pot calling the kettle black in my opinion Calling out what u perceive to be another’s flaws on someone you have prob never met doesn’t make u much better. I typically tend to find people who criticize other is done to make themselves feel better about their own flaws.

I typically tend to find people who criticize other is done to make themselves feel better about their own flaws. First...hats off to Boof! In a crowded gym with thousands of screaming fans, White needs to shout to the floor attendants to be heard. God forbid people think she is trying to delay the game. If this weren’t done we would have more injuries like Willow Johnson. STANFORD players who contacted the floor also needed to wipe it dry. As far as classless....I’m pretty sure that White didn’t draw a picture of a gun shooting down the opposing team. Hope You were calling out that “classless” act like you are a young girl that plays her sport with lots of passion. Would be interesting to see if you shame young men for this same kind of behavior—-or would you interpret them as being “intense”? Keep on judging people that you don’t know—You know what they say about Karma!

I can attest that girls who have been on visits say white is not very polite and doesn't seem welcoming. So there you go. She literally screams at her teammates on the court and stomps her feet when they lose a point. She is a fantastic player tho

Keep on judging people that you don’t know—You know what they say about Karma! How a person acts in the heat of the moment says more about them then when everything is going their way. Oh, and since you want to go down the gender road, to answer your question - Yes, I would judge young men the same way if they screamed, rolled their eyes, were disrespectful, & couldn't even muster a simple "thank you" once.

So, you're saying someone that demands, stomps their feet, rolls their eyes, shakes their head, & yells wouldn't at all be characterized as rude or classless? I'm not judging her nor did I say I was any better than her. I'm stating FACTS of how she acted. White could be totally different off the court, but in my opinion, the way you act in heated moments usually shows the type of person you truly are on the inside, not when everything is rainbows & sunshine.
