The Summer That Was

Just to recap:

1. No one has left the Georgia volleyball program in over a month. No judgments, I'm just sayin'.

2. No one has seen Lindy Vivas since she renounced her American citizenship and boarded a private jet for Monaco.

3. Did you see the BREAKING NEWS on the cover of the August issue of Volleyball Magazine? Apparently, Airial Salvo and Sydney Anderson are leaving Utah! What? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things?! When did this happen?

(Today's exercise in sarcasm brought to you by the letter S and the number 2.)

4. Speaking of which, Airial Salvo is now in Washington. Shocker. Never saw that coming. Not at all. I'm aghast with surprise.

5. Florida got a commitment from a freshman DS...because we all know how difficult it is to find a decent libero, especially one born before "Friends" went on the air.

6. There's a facebook page to elect Barboza to the position of Stanford Tree. I'm in.

7. Thousands of volleyball campers across America spent hours in smelly gyms and un-air conditioned dorm rooms receiving mostly quality instruction from coaches, some of which MAY have been hung over.

8. Pavan won a bunch of awards. I'd list them here but, what's the point? If you know of an award, she won it. Best supporting actress in an animated short? Won it. Car & Driver's Best Sedan of 2006? Won it. In a landslide.

9. Dave Boos nervously traipsed through the ruins of the Ball State athletic department asking people "But I'M okay, right? Right?...Hello?"

10. Misty May and Kerry Walsh are obviously still not sure how to play this whole two-person, on-sand, beach...game...thing.
