I'd rather watch paint dry than Fitzmorris running a slide ever again. It's not her fault Stanford pushed her to M1 when she's an excellent M2. She really sacrificed the most to help her team by spending most of her career playing suboptimal positions and just gets slandered. Not slandering. She did a lot for Stanford and was pretty clutch. Great blocker, likely an awesome M2. I just hated that slide. |

I'll take it! I wanted PVF Omaha to try and pick her up when they had setting problems.
(Dijkema is starting anyway)

Gretna Landing will be site of new 66,000-square-foot facility for Omaha pro volleyball team
The professional League One Volleyball (LOVB) organization announced Tuesday it would break ground on a 66,000-square-foot training center at Gretna Landing. "Omaha is the center of women's volleyball and our new five-star facility embodies our commitment to providing players, youth to pro, with an unprecedented edge," LOVB President Mike Bufano said in a press release. "As an organization, we are committed to championing athletes through their entire volleyball journey, so we're excited to invest in Omaha athletes." The volleyball facility will be located near the intersection of 192nd Street and Highway 370. Plans for the center include 10 courts, locker rooms, a pro shop, cafe and development and strength training rooms. An LOVB spokesperson said work on the project will begin soon, and is expected to be completed by July 2025. linkA rendering of the facility

If its a warehouse style build if permits and planning are completed than 9 months will get it built: but the inside trades and amenities will take the longest time. It is very ambitious! |

July 2025 seems a bit ambitious though, right? i guess i cant say im a construction expert though lol You’re not giving enough credit to the Nebraskan developers, who are masters at using pre-fabricated construction techniques and materials, especially cheap aluminum siding. Nebraska has the blandest, ugliest, no-frills architecture of any state in the country and Canada. Everything in Nebraska gives big box store/windowless data center/storage warehouse or cookie-cutter model homes. Granted, a new volleyball facility in Nebraska was never going to look or function like the new Intuit Dome of LA, the proposed Cavs practice facility in Cleveland, or the new practice facility for the University of Cincinnati, for example—facilities with unique designs, curving façades, sharp angles, organic shapes, bespoke masonry, and custom glass work. For these reasons, buildings go up super quickly in Nebraska, but none will ever win a Pritzker. 😬 |

Ah, the ole ChatGPT elongated hyphen! Pretty sure the passive-aggressiveness was directed at me, and since I’ve never had a problem being direct on here, here’s my reply: The horizontal line I used is not a hyphen. It’s a dash. The two aren’t interchangeable either. 💀 A hyphen is a shorter horizontal line, made by pressing the hyphen-minus key once: /-/ This is used for compound words. A dash is a longer horizontal line, made by pressing the hyphen-minus key twice: /—/ This is used for breaking up parts of sentences and fragments. My posting history has always been consistent with employing dashes and hyphens correctly. Just because you have a tenuous grasp of punctuation doesn’t mean everyone else uses AI to write for us. 🤭 But hey—if AI helps you be a better writer, I support that. 👍 |

OMG sorry - it was actually just a joke that didn’t land. There was a big discussion on Threads recently about ChatGPT using the em dash as though humans do not, in response to a teacher using an AI tool to fail her students and used the em dash being in some students’ papers as a reason to believe they used AI. (And then some others were arguing that people use it too much.) But anyway I was trying to reference a niche thing and not actually suggesting you’re using AI to write VolleyTalk posts. ◡̈
