Individuals are starting to make their move on our leader for the past few weeks, VBFanatic...pretty close race here. No one better have a crummy week like I did, otherwise you'll drop drastically. I've put smiley faces by the fans outside the MPSF...they do know their volleyball, don't they? We, in the MPSF, better follow their example and get to know every prominent team in the nation. CONGRATS to everyone...

Its easy to be from the midwest and east and know the MPSF, but it's harder to be from the west and know about anything east of Provo. Especially in a year like this one, where there aren't any teams worth noticing anywhere outside the MPSF.

Hey theDH, Sorry about that. I tried to discover WHERE you hail from, but couldn't find any references. I will make sure that you are credited to the great city of Irvine from now on. Thanks for the "heads up." And CONGRATS on your standing in the T.V.P. In 2nd place and 60 points behind the top proves you "got game" and "know the game." Way to go, even in this crazy, "upsets" season. Good luck this week. Please de-throne the VBfanatic from IPFW. VBCrusin

Hey crusin...it was D1VBFan who is from Irvine, not me. Are you alright? You seem a little out of it lately, maybe you bumped your head.

Sorry theDH, I'm knee deep in my tax season, and I have numbers on the brain!!! I didn't mean to mix you and D1VBfan, since you are very different. By the way, I've curious about your name..."the Man, the Myth...theDH. I assume that you were a baseball player and Designated Hitter? The Man and Myth would indicate a "low self esteem." What's the story, without revealing too much of yourself? Care to enlighten us? VBcrusin

Sure. First, I played vball and DH was a nickname my teammates coined for me when I was playing at my JC. Then, when I played D1 the new teammates added the to it, since I wasn't merely any old DH, I was THE DH. The two letter name DH is a nickname derived from something else, which is a long story.
At any rate, if anyone is still reading anymore, i recently added the prefix which is a play on "The man, the myth, the legend."
And therefore I become, "The Man, The Myth, TheDH."

Thanks the Man, Myth, the DH... It's always nice to hear a little background of the fans. I've met many who are on this site, became friends, and will NOT reveal their identities. That's what I like about VolleyTalk...we can hide behind our secret identities. Thanks for satisfying my curiousity...however, my creative mind is running wild trying to guess the "DH" part. Good luck this week. VBCrusin

Honestly, VBCrusin, I don't know how you are even able to do this during tax season! Thanks a lot for "inventing" this contest and all the work that goes into it. It is a lot of fun and it really makes all of the matches much more interesting.
I disagree with the poster who said it was harder to call the MIVA and EIVA games. IMHO, it is a lot harder trying to predict the west because you have so many unpredictable teams right now. On any given night, anyone can beat anyone else.

Hi Midwestfan, Glad you're enjoying the T.V.P. Contest, and yes, it does make it a more interesing and fun season, but better yet, it gives everyone an increased appreciation of national volleyball. Volleyball is a GREAT sport!!! ;D I agree with you...EIVA and MIVA matches are hard to predict (I'm big on Ohio and they disappointed me many times already), and VERY TRUE, the MPSF is so evenly matched that ANY team can prevail over a higher ranked one. It will be very hard to predict who will be in the final playoffs, let alone who will win...in any conference. Busy tax season? You bet. I make time to run the contest, because it gives me a much-needed break. Besides, I really enjoy the many fabulous fan posts and their insight and impressions on the matches, on bOTH teams and NOT just defending their own teams. That way, we all get to know what's happening in matches we can't see in person. I look forward to your posts. VBCrusin

VBCrusin, are you an accountant? You've got to be unless for some reason you've got way more difficult taxes than anyone else. You don't have to answer if you want to keep your profession secret, I understand. I was just curious.

Hey theDh... My profession? I wish it were a professional volleyball player, but no such luck. I am a financial advisor, and tax preparation is one of the services I perform. This explains my "Walter Mitty-type" personna who loves volleyball (all my 4 sons and 1 daughter played), and enjoys reading fan posts and goodnatured bantering. This Volleytalk site enables me to escape the mundane tax preparation process and rally with all you great volleyball fans...whether they agree with me or not! I look forward to reading everyone's views and opinions on the various matches...for both teams. Hope you're enjoying yourself too! Aloha. VBCrusin
