You people are so pathetically jealous. I'm sorry your programs can't recruit or bring in the fans, but your all gonna need to get over it one day... Some of you all sound like you're in last place. 😀 Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People not a big part of your summer reading list, is it? Such a good read tbh

B1G media day is coming up. Maybe he can do it to himself again this year. The guy is an amazing coach who is in charge of an outstanding program that people want to be a part of, and is consistently referenced as a special part of their lives for the women who choose to play there. But the idea that he can sometimes be an @ss is not revelatory. Only equaled by former players that say he has gone soft after the birth of his granddaughter Madden. @madden55 come get your grandpa

So Texas seemingly got a recruit in the past couple days. Does anyone here have any insight on who it is?

Good. You can bring that up, then. In the meantime people pointing to him making comments that are a bit jerk-y shouldn’t be off limits, either, because he’s fully capable of them. I didn't say that people commenting on John Cook were off limits. He is a public figure and that is part of it. The thing I didn't like was the fact that Mays recollection was posted as though it was a direct quote from Cook. But I will give you the last word on the subject if you choose. I'm done with it. It’s volleytalk. It will come up again.

I see America's Team is, once again, on VolleyTalk's mind.

Ha! Yes, totally butthurt. No, I’m used to the Dakotas being overlooked by the sunbelt and coastal people, but when someone from the Midwest does it…. It’s like: dude, you’re from Iowa, not the Hamptons. Seriously, check yourself. But for realzies, they were dogging , dissing and dragging more than just John Cook and Mizzou. They also talked crap about Corvallis (the boringest PAC school), Kelly “I’m going to challenge the outcome of the challenge” Sheffield, Fake LA people, Hawaii players being lazy and wanting to go to the beach, screaming coaches from Europe, and one of the interviewers’ moms. It was basically a gossip session. Pretty entertaining, TBH Last week it was a baseless allegation that John Cook is a racist. This week it is a post that falsely represents a quote that isn't a quote at all. Instead it is a characterization of a phone call from around 7 years ago by a then 17-year-old girl that may have included her snapping at John Cook when she didn't think that he understood that she wasn't coming to Nebraska. Tune in next week to see a new attempt to defame John Cook. Volleytalk to John Cook.....

Forget the John Cook comments, for me the more shockingly offensive comments were later in the interview... "let's rank the Midwest states... which states are Midwest?.... no, we aren't doing the Dakotas, they're, what do you call it? Flyover?.... (then they also forget to include Ohio and Kansas).... Wait. Are the Dakotas in the Midwest? Really? Shocking lack of basic geography knowledge.... SMH Say what you want about John Cook, but the dude knows where South Dakota is, and actually recruits there, too. When I was living in NYC I mentioned I was from Texas, and my interloqutor asked "oh, what's it like living in the midwest?" And I had no idea what to say to that

I got a ton of weird questions like that when I moved to San Francisco. But, living in Lincoln, I make jokes about out-state folks having trouble driving on paved roads. Everyone is someone else's hick, I guess.

One time while living in Spain I told my friend from Córdoba (city in the south of the country) that my brother lives in Alaska and he asked me if he has to hunt for his food.
He's a really good guy :')

And I had no idea what to say to that I always think of that famous map of the United States they put on the cover of the New Yorker. I’ll find it for you if you haven’t seen it before.
