Tell us how your studies are going and why you decided to come back slumming with us!
Truly, good to have you back.

Thanks, VBCOACH.
Right now, I can't access my old acct. So, I'm using this temporary wolfgang1...for now. I've asked Odin and Doppelganger to help me out. Silence so far.
I've been very busy at Colorado State. I came back to VT due to pure chance. I'm a grad student here, so, when the NCAA shipped CSU to Hawaii, it was sort of big news at Fort Collins. Well, kinda sort of. As big as volleyball is here at CSU, it's really teeny tiny compared to Hawaii. Two Sundays ago, all the girls from the CSU team were at the Beach House watching the ESPN broadcast of the NCAA Selection Show. I didn't go but I knew about it. I was also curious too because I had a vb player in one of my classes. I checked out the Hawaii match on YouTube, two days after it happened. All my memories of vb flooded back and I went back to the VT site and discovered my old PW didn't work. Funny, I don't remember changing it -- but I could have. It's been so long I can't remember.
I actually don't like having athletes in my classes because they get excused a lot due to athletic functions. And they tend not to do well in class. I won't say names, but I've had half a dozen athletes in my classes and they're usually trouble (e.g., low engagement, low attention, absences, tardies, low quality work). Ugh. I can't seem to relate to any vb players anymore. I'm like the old geezer who long for the good old days. God, what a loser I've become! I look at all these vb girls and I just see...girls. Barely out of high school. I talk to girls who come to my office for office hours and I see...girls. Barely adults. You can just tell from the WAY they talk and WHAT they say that they're just girls. Not women, but girls. They can't comprehend anything. (I'm not necessarily talking about the girls on the CSU vb team. Just the entire campus, which I imagine is no different from any other college campus.
I wish I could get my old acct back.

I don't have those powers. I am a Lesser Mod.
Odin, I believe, is working on this.
What could we ask you that only you would know?

Well, if you or Odin dealt with me behind the scenes, you'd know what questions to ask. It can't be something that we discussed publicly, otherwise, any old doof can (mis)appropriate the correct answer.

Since you are a grad student, aren't you teaching lower lever classes? Mostly freshmen? Maybe if you were teaching Juniors and Seniors, they'd by more mature? |

Mostly freshmen and sophomores. I just like to rant sometimes. It's fun.

This isn't Wolfgang for two reasons: 1. He didn't say "thanks, in advance" when asking for his old account back. 2. He wouldn't be on here now because he has too many Christmas parties to attend.  Welcome back, we missed you! |

Welcome back, we missed you! He also didn't ask for a "summary please" of the last year (?) he's been gone  . |

I don't have those powers. I am a Lesser Mod. Odin, I believe, is working on this. What could we ask you that only you would know? About 6-9 months ago, proboards made a change effectively stripping powers from admin. I can no longer change the email addresses or passwords of users. Which is problematic because if you mistype an email address and are waiting for an activation key, you can no longer fix the email address. You're stuck with this new account. |

Wolfgang, can't you recreate your old e-mail address and request the password?

OK. What's your password? I'll try it.
Send me your PIN number, too. Just in case.
