The Beach’s Taylor Crabb named National Player of the Year. saw it on twitter but no release yet. Odd since Sander was the MPSF POY.
Day off. Just saw the madness, which bordered on libel. I couldn’t delete some of the name calling without deleting other comments So the thread has gone to the great cyber graveyard.

UC Irvine 25-22, 22-25, 20-25, 25-14, 22-20 I think that the 49ers will get the at-large if they don’t beat BYU in the final Saturday.
