Decided to go to Stockton to see this one. It was the first time I'd seen a men's match at UOP.
I noticed a few things. First - they don't seem to use the Sport Court surface for men's volleyball. Second - there's a Pacific player who wears sunglasses. I didn't think that was allowed.
It was pretty entertaining. UCSD totally choked in game 1. There were a couple of horrible line calls, but they evened each other out. I got a free T-shirt too.

The Sport Court is not ever used by the men, I believe it is the property of the Women's program?
Adam Catania wears "tinted" prescription lenses. That's his description.
Congratulations on getting a t-shirt.
There were nearly as many San Diego fans at Spanos tonight as Pacific fans. Did you spot Mr Pacificman and me in our orange hats?

Yeah - I looked up the 2004 USA VB Rules: It says nothing about tinting. I know baseball pitchers aren't allowed to wear tinted lenses. The same goes for quarterbacks. Something about being deceptive. One of the blocking tips I learned at a clinic was to watch the eyes of the hitter. Didn't spot Mr Pacificman (I thought he was "Mr Pacificgirl"). I took Highway 4 home. I got lost somewhere around Brentwood. gets pretty interesting on a twisty near a bridge. |

"Quote:5.3.2 Players may wear glasses or contact lenses at their own risk. "
His glasses did fall off during a match once.
I got lots of grief for calling Mr. Pacificman "Mr. Pacificgirl", so I've opted for Mr. Pacificman. It seems more manly.

The men's team doesn't use the sport court because you have to pay to use it, as it costs money to set up and break down the tiles. The men's program doesn't feel the need to dish out the cash for that, especially since most players don't like it anyway. The Spanos Center has a perfectly good hardwood court.

I personally don't like Sport Court. I banged my knee, and it definitely felt like hard plastic - not the slight "give" of hardwood. Laying a Sport Court over concrete might be cheaper (and lower maintenance) than building a hardwood floor. I can't figure out why anyone would lay a Sport Court on top of hardwood (although the Cal women did when I first started watching them). |

I want to know where you find hardwood that has "give" to it and is still called hardwood. Sounds more like rotten wood. The roll-out courts are a little softer than the plastic sport courts. They come in strips and are taped together underneath. |

They come in strips and are taped together underneath. Uh - Maples Pavilion at Stanford? It's like a big 'ol trampoline. I sat on that floor as someone was doing windsprints, and it felt like an earthquake. OTOH - that floor is going the way of the dodo with the remodel. I find landing (with or without knee/elbow contact) on a Sport Court surface to be more painful than hardwood, especially so if laid over concrete. The "clap" or "crack" sounds emanating from the tiles is a bit unusual. |

Anyone will tell you the impact damage from your standard college wood floored gym is less than what you get playing on a sport court dropped on a concrete surface.
