Here is the KLTV site that shows Youman at her signing. http://www.kltv.com/Global/category.asp?C=...&nav=menu117_10 It is under "College Signings." Go Mean Green!!!

The Romanian girl has torn her ACL and will have surgery at the end of the season. She is playing with a brace but has not seen action. The team was very disappointed not to go 4-0 over the weekend and ran out of gas against La Tech. This team has great potential but also has a lot of room for growth and improvement. The match vs. TCU tomorrow should be a good one!

Someone thinking outside the box. How creative and refreshing. I totally think the key to all this though is the students. When they get back from break, the marketing and promotions people should be all over them. Both basketball teams are doing great and have a chance to be really great. However, it would so help them if the pit could be rockin like most college basketball games. The student section, well, is pathetic. And I am not even sure I could tell you where they sit. I think the band idea is great. I think the Athletic Department should attempt to get all of the athletes to attend games more often. I mean, the football team alone would be close to 75 fans. And get them all sitting together and cheering. I don't know if most of you were at the Houston game, but that atmosphere was great. Too bad it was mostly Houston fans but still, if we had something to that affect cheering on our team and getting loud. Man, that would be awesome. So if any of you are students on campus, help get them to games anyway you can. And keep on the athletic department to help sell to them. I mean, alot of kids live on campus. Evacuate their buildings on game nights and make them head over to the Pit. Something. If the students could create a buzz inside that arena, then the general public will be more enticed to come buy tickets and check it out. But the students are the key here. And this will help carry over to football and possibly soccer or volleyball. Go Mean Green.

It was a great game! A little closer than we needed it to be but the girls did great. They lost a heartbreaking game on Sunday in five games. Probably could have won in three or four but a well played match. Puts them at 7-2 in conference. Two games they should win at home on Friday and Sunday of this week. For those of you who attended this weekend, especially Friday, thank you from the girls. I know they would love even more support. Hopefully you enjoyed the games and will want to bring your friends this week.

I couldn't agree more about how loud that place could get with more people attending. I really wish we could find some loud and obnoxious students to attend the games regularly and cause fits for the other teams. I have been to games all over the country and seen some of the craziest volleyball fans get into the heads of oposing players. I only wish we could find some crazy fans here. If anyone knows of any, send them to the snake pit on Friday night and Sunday afternoons. And I know there are some of you out there, we have seen you at football and basketball games. And if any athletic administration is reading this, please make it an effort to attend the games as well. I see many of you at football and basketball but NEVER at volleyball games. You truly are missing out on some great excitement and fun.

Big game Friday night for the Volleyball team. They have a great chance to win the next four, all at home. Would bring their conference record to 10-1 before heading for the road for three games. I am a big volleyball enthusiast and am asking for as many people to show up Friday night at 7 pm. Game will be very exciting and these girls deserve tons more support from the students and faculty than what they have been getting. They get better every year and have a legitimate shot at winning the tournament this year. Sure would be great to bring them more confidence by a wild and crazy crowd.
