Well, VB Mag is a little off. I guess they don't look at head-to-head competition and make informed decisions. IMO.
Has anyone noticed how far behind they are in their feature reporting? The articles that are in the new, current edition should have run last month. And it IS THE MIDDLE of the Men's season, editor. Perhaps some women's and beach cover coverage could wait for thier seasons!

Did you also notice that their "last week" rankings are exactly the same as this week's? The only thing changed is the game win/loss record.
They do an incredibly poor job of keeping up their website. In addition, their coverage was poor last year during the season and this year it is also poor. They key on a couple teams, find their cover boy, and that is it. I am not very impressed with their magazine lately . . .
My opinion . . .

Volleyball Magazine usually has a two month lead, so that's why and that can be for a variety of reasons, ranging from getting stories, images, etc. together and laying the whole thing out, in addition to things like advertising, etc. That's what they'd probably tell you if you asked them, but I honestly don't know why they're not more time sensitive with their coverage.
It wasn't too long ago that VB Mag was bought and expectations were great for it to be much improved. Sure there was an initial push and it's a glossier magazine now, and they even re-did the Web site, which looks alright, but is extremely non-functional and is rarely updated, plus there is scant information on there that anybody cares about.
Bottomline, they have too little people doing too much. If you notice only a few write all the articles and they just need more hands, because until then no one will really care about it.

VB Magazine is the most pathetic publication when it comes to covering the collegiat game.
Apart from the obvious standard 2 months behind reporting they just don't have much in the way of expertise in evaluating the game. They are almost totally reliant on word of mouth from outside sources. Its like reading letters to the editor and being expected to accept the reader input as the magazine's position on the topic. <shrug>
Pretty pictures is about all they have going for them.
