Weekend 2: Is the picture any clearer?

Week 2. Nothing too crazy, a few head-scratchers. What is going on at SLU / Utah / A&M / MTSU / Tulane? Can't be swine flu. That was last year. Bed bugs? Bed bugs are all the rage on the eastern seaboard. Poltergeists? Bad eggs? Cloverfield monsters?

The Wolfpack is 5-1. NC State... is 5-1. Last time NC State was 5-1? Anyone? 1947.

The Nittany March to 200: All those who had Seton Hall in the "First Penn State Loss" pool? You're out 5 bucks.

And, BTW, does home court mean nothing anymore? First Husker Du lost at home to FLA, now Illinois clips Texas in Texas. Does no one remember the Alamo? BTW, Michelle Bartsch had 10 kills, 0 errors, on 19 attempts. She's terrible.

Gophers beat Flyers. Flyers beat Panthers. Panthers beat Gophers. Gophers beat Rock. Rock beats Scissors, etc., etc. I think Paper is going to win their conference this year.

USC is 5-0, and Falyn the Destoyer is only hitting .295?! I was led to believe she'd be averaging 6 kills per game and hitting well north of .500. What a scam. If you listen carefully, you can hear people on VolleyTalk typing "overrated." Most of them are Hawaii fans.

Which, BTW. We get it. Kanani Danielson is the greatest player to ever walk the earth. Can we move on?

The Ohio State University loses to THE Kentucky when THE Lauren Rapp hits for THE average of .414, posting a double-double for THE second time in this, THE last Season of the Rapp.

Dear Utah, Texas A&M, Saint Louis, MTSU, and Pitt: Get well, get well soon, we wish you to get well! GET WELL, GET WELL SOON, WE WISH YOU TO GET WELL!

Drake's 8-0! Trivia: NOT home to the coffee cake. And how is their mascot _not_ the Ducks?

"I think that losing the first match of the weekend actually made us better," said Ohio coach Ryan Theis. How come when teams win all their matches on the weekend their coaches don't say, "You know, I'm glad we're 3-0 and all, but I really feel like we'd be a better team if we'd lost to Bowling Green on Friday."
