UK volleyball
- Thread starter JonathanW_rivals
- Start date
I think I've mentioned on here before, but I officiate several sports. Softball, basketball and volleyball. Volleyball is the hardest one for me to do a good job at. Everything is moving at such speed, it's hard to follow everything you need to keep up with. I actually had a buddy get injured while line-judging a mens match, on the college level, when he couldn't get out of the way of a hit in time and it caught his flag, knocking it against his wrist w/ force. Ended up w/ a sprained wrist and ankle, when he tripped trying to avoid it.
The PAC 12 has historically dominated both volleyball and softball and understandably is very proud about it. The SEC has REALLY caught up (more so in softball) and there is some resistance that the south is now good at these sports as well.
What time should we be there? Can we bring anything... a meat bundle from Boone’s Butcher Shop?
Frank Kaminsky is not walking through that door (in women's volleyball attire)... #OffWisconsin
Lol... I was asked to line judge a high school girls match with several D-1 athletes on the court -- and I about soiled myself -- balls whizzing all over the place with snap judgements having to be made!!

Slightly OT but I’m a high school teacher and for the first time ever our school has a boys volleyball team.
Some of my kids are on the team and said it’s not officially KHSAA sanctioned yet due to only about 16 teams in the state playing right now.
Really cool to see the sport growing and I hope the UK women help spur a growth here in KY for volleyball.

I always wanted my school to have boys volleyball, I would’ve played for sure. I’m 6’5, I like spiking
I was glued to the TV watching that game the other night. Pretty amazing comeback in that third set after they were down 22-16 (or something like that). Whoever won that set was likely going to win the game. Excited for tonight and hope the girls bring the title home to Lexington!
It is surprising there aren't (more) HS teams! It's a good sport.
I think for me we played in HS PE class for maybe a week, and then in college (WKU) I played outside once (w/ several from the women's B-ball team), but nothing serious until Grad school at UK, when our Dept formed a Intramural team (they had to teach me how to bump and set. We lost in finals to the Rec-Dept, not bad for a bunch of geeky statisticians.

Cant wait. 8pm hurry up. Volleyball is fun to watch. Women are hot and blocking shots is pretty cool lol. I love the long legs and athelticism haha!
I mean I like to watch because I’m cheering on UK and the sport is genuinely enjoyable. Some creepy vibes going on in this thread to be honest. I agree with the let’s get to 8 pm sentiment though.
My TV says it is supposed to be on ESPN2 but UFC is on. Anybody know what channel I can find it on?
Extreme lack of disrespect from ESPN for women's volleyball.
