Utah volleyball survives first day

As we pointed out earlier, Beth Launiere has taken her Utes overseas where there's a smidge of risk they could fall victim to the plot of a really, really bad horror movie.

But the truth, revealed in their first player journal, is pretty mundane so far: "All the flights went well and everyone's luggage showed up."

Snoozeville. Where's the international intrigue? When will Airial Salvo get caught up in some kind of Cold War / espionage / double agent power struggle? Apparently no time soon, as the players were busy "taking pictures of anything that we saw. Cars, buildings, fields, roads, and even the famous 'Skate or Die' pictures."

Famous "Skate or Die" pictures (Totally should have taken that art history class in college)? Were they then stolen in a well-planned heist that was a mix of James Bond and Thomas Crowne?

"We all bought bird food and fed the birds and many of us had 5-6 birds on us at one time."

Well, that's not really that scintillating. Is it too much to ask for Coach Launiere to say "Shaken, not stirred" just once? Or to have her coordinate efforts with Chloe from the CTU bunker?
