(1) UCLA (23-5) vs (8) Fort Valley St. (13-7)
(4) UC Irvine (19-10) vs (5) Penn St. (23-6)
(6) Ohio St. (22-8) vs (3) Grand Canyon (25-4)
(7) Belmont Abbey (21-4)vs (2) Long Beach St. (25-2)
This should be some good volleyball.
Personally, I would like to see Irvine win it all.

Both are very long winded. I still get a warning ⚠️ from using his blog. I think my phone just doesn't like it. Lol.

They said UCI has a great resume. Record of 19-10? 10 losses! Oh well...

He's a nice guy and intelligent, but what does it say about men's volleyball that he is the one who is chosen to carry the selection show. That might seem harsh to some, but the sport deserves more attention than this. |

Better Vinnie who knows the current state of the games than someone who played the game at a high level and spends the whole time telling us about why there is one player in a different colored jersey. |

Ok. It's the first time I've watched the Men's selection show. Vs. the women's vb selection show it might as well have been done in someone's mom's basement using America Online for connection. Who was the NCAA hack? And I'm sorry, but like the Women's it would be much better if there was a panel who at least looked professional.
The game deserves better and the NCAA knows it. They are BLATANLY pissing on NCAA MVB.

That’s not the only option, obviously. Current head coaches would also be an option. Outside of that, who follows the game enough and understands the criteria enough for it to be? I also think it is a great treat for Vinnie who spends all year providing us with free content and resources and receives basically nothing in return for it. |

Again, it’s not meant as a direct criticism of Vinnie or what he’s done. If you were happy with the overall quality of that production, then i think your expectations are too low. |

All good. Totally get where you are coming from.
Quick point of clarification, was filmed in my own basement and not my mom’s. I got to remember to send in my mortgage payment before I head off to the West Coast.
Also, would love for it to be more than just me on the Selection Show and for the Selection Show to be a two-hour event. Unfortunately, the current format of the Selection Show isn’t something committee can control.

They are BLATANLY pissing on NCAA MVB. Because MVB has no value to the NCAA or ESPN. Very few people watch it, and even fewer people care. The fact there is even a 20 minute "show" is much more than many of us are used to. Plenty of us probably just remember that it was a 10 second announcement on Sportscenter. The anchors would flash the bracket and say those were the teams before moving on to the next story. I am not sure of anyone else who knows the game from all angles the way Vinnie does. |

I think it yeah would be good to get a 10 minute panel, but who?
The thing missing is a few shots of teams hearing their team called.
Like where was she shot of UCLA breatjing a sigh of relief that they made it in!

Hey all, will my episode record tomorrow early morning. If there are any questions (and if there is time remaining to record) I could ask the coaches any questions you may have. Or course, this would happen after the 3 items I have to discuss tomorrow. You can DM me if you want to remain anonymous or you can throw them on here. http://instagram.com/p/C6CaECXSHGP |
