off-topic thread but..
i was a touched by the emotion displayed in USC’s post game interview after their loss to washington.
heres a coach that really feels for his seniors (aka shoji). it almost made me a USC fan..

shoji’s coaching abilities are no different than the BCS monsters. sorry russ, jim, mick, john. but if only dave had your recruits we’d be in pitch’n for the national championship “every” year.

Its just that, with all the hype comes all the let down. I’m almost convinced to chant were number – (starts at 12 or 13 then move into the top 10 then fall out of the top ten and then gets sent to washington or USC only to lose in the second round.) and start the campaign again. Like deja vu.

As with many Volleytalk threads, it goes off-topic pretty quickly and actually gets quite amusing, but the initial point of the thread is that the three out-of-town teams in the FF seem to be flying via chartered flights to Seattle (there’s conflicting reports about Texas, but I’d guess they’d be chartering too; of the three schools, they’ve probably got the most bucks). The NCAA apparently only pays so much for commercial flights so the individual schools are picking up the balance of the cost of the charters. The life (and money) of BCS programs.

I mean Mick Haley won the championship at Texas against UH in 1988, I remember Tee Williams with a gimpy arm fighting with all her heart. And Texas’s Dagmara Szyszczak a sophomore, just took UH apart. But after that, not much success. Jerriott Elliot is a magnetic person, for many of his players, they said he convinced them that Texas was poised to take over the sport. It started with two players and from there it just exploded. The football team’s success provided the seed money for all Texas sports not to mention the lucrative TV market. USC was the same way. Lisa Love really tried to keep USC competitive, but only after her retirement and promotion to associate Athletic director then senior associate athletic director at USC did they finally broke free and won. So true at Washington, before Jim M. it was always an also ran in the PAC. His success with the men’s team led him to take over the women’s team. Maybe the same will be said about UH, when the time comes.

so parity all around, but there’s a widening gap between where everyone else is and the programs at the top.
