Whither the Ramblin' Wreck?

Has anyone heard from the Georgia Tech volleyball team lately? I don't want to be an alarmist but it was 5 days ago that we got our first report from the Ramblin' Wreck. Remember when we made fun of Ben Bodipo-Memba's freakish wingspan?

Five days later and no reports. No wacky stories of eating borscht, no harrowing tales of navigating the autobahn, no amusing shots of Bond in lederhosen. Nuthin'.

I mean, Germany's still there, isn't it? They have electricity. They get them there Interwebs, right?

Or has there been an international incident of some kind? I don't want to point any fingers (Callie Miller), but maybe someone got the team booted from the country?

OR...has Ulrike Stegemann kidnapped the team once she suckered them into her home country? Has she hatched some elaborate plan that started with getting Georgia Tech to recruit her and ended when she said, "Hey, um, wouldn't it be cool if we took a trip to my home country?"

Ben Bodipo-Memba and his freakish wing span

During Georgia Tech's trip to Europe, assistant coach Ben Bodipo-Memba prepares to demonstrate how 12 months of intensive yoga have paid off by folding his 6'8" frame into this European clown car.

Mary doesn't read us?

UPDATE: A quick check of this gatorzone.com article reveals that the Gators are still planning to "hose" Georgia Tech this spring, a fact we pointed out last week. We're just disappointed because this means head Gator Mary Wise must not read the blog, for surely she would have had a dude from sports info's head in a vise the next day to correct the typo.

Ben Bodipo-Memba? Still outraged. This is just the kind of lack of respect for the "Wreck" that drove Sally to Winthrop.

Fun with Typos, Gator style

Hey, let's have some fun at the expense of someone's typing skills! What do you think it means when an article on gatorzone.com states that Florida will be "hosing" Georgia Tech as part of their spring schedule? After all, the Wramblin' Wreck was 20-12, 12-10 in the ACC, nothing to sneeze at. So it seems rather presumptuous to say that the Gators will hose them, doesn't it?

Somewhere, Ben Bodipo-Memba is really insulted, outraged even.

(Yeah, yeah, we know it was a typo, but too much fun to pass up.)
