It's GREAT to have Curt Toppel back in the volleyball competion. He really livens things up. The rest of the season is totally unpredictable with him playing again.
The LB win was great. I am sad I missed it. The drive to Pacific and back was worth every drop of $2.16 gas. Curt was AWESOME, a real star, and he really pays attention to the fans after the match. He gives a lot to volleyball and is good for the sport. I am not trying to knock other great players like Costas and Keenan and all others in the country (sorry, I have a California view), but Curt has that energy that makes him stand out. Brook Billings had that quality but he did too many crazy things to be a role model.
