WoW look at the ego's taking off in this thread. I will have to side with Strazz on this one, I hear a lot of smack talk but no one stepping up to the plate and showing their skills off.

Shesh manzi - I've seen you play too, I don't remember seeing you hit inside the 10 foot line. Well, actually I do, but it was womens hieght and I remember yelling at you to hit from behind the 10 foot line.

Also - I'm pretty sure I attend school for school.

But hell - if you find a team and goto nationals I'll make sure my team sets only me if we face you.

Lastly - po-dunk club teams? I've seen plenty of club teams that could easily run yours off the court, and other D1 NCAA teams. I'm sure Ty could attest to that too.

This thursday we were going to have a bounce contest. Like i said - we where messing around. That means we had someone who doesn't set, setting.

Eitherway, like i said - thier hits in slow motion while we didn't give a crap.

Enjoy!
No need to get so bent outta shape strazz. We were just poking fun at ya, that's all. You were the one that set yourself up for it by posting a video. If you're gonna post pics or videos of yourself... you gotta be prepared to get heckled sometimes. As for me posting any videos of myself... not everyone has access to school funded video equipment to use at their expense.

And don't be hatin' cuz I can bumpset a shoot. I've been playing for 20+ years. Even though I said I can do it, doesn't mean I do it in a game situation, either. I only bumpset shoots in open gyms when it's just for fun. I always set with my hands first if the pass is high enough for me to get under.

Just because I set now doesn't mean I don't and can't hit. I've always been an outside hitter and am ambidextrous. I Just prefer to set because just like in beach, I like to stay involved in every play and love to crush the ball with the left hand on a tight pass when I rotate in the front row.

Just take it easy and don't take everything we say so seriously...



P.S. - Good luck with going to school for school. Spelling obviously isn't on the curriculum...

I think you missed the point of manzi's post where he said we're just a club team. That means we get no funding. It's just a canon point and shoot.

I don't really care if you guys poke fun - I think the first four posts where nothing but things along the lines of "i hit better"

somehting like ; " If we were hitting on an open net like that, we'd be seeing who can bounce the ball and hit the ceiling."


Either way, whatever- I guess you guys are spelling-bee gods and volleyball gods too?


P.S. - Good luck with those russian mail order brides you used to post.


Edit: On a last note - why don't we all travel out to long island and just play doubles for a 30 rack? Besides, I expect to catch some heckles from when I post things - but I also am going to call people out on the stuff they heckle. I'll gladly have a bounce contest against manzi and yourself, play 10 foot line, you guys name it!

LMAO... I actually used to be good at spelling bees back in school. You were the one that said you went to school for school, that's why I thought it was funny.

ROFLMAO... yeah... needless to say I stopped writing to Boris right around that time I posted those pics.


Maria and Natascha's pics were pretty hot, though.

I do miss reading that script they were all using, though. I'm a little sad it all stopped when I said I wouldn't pay for their ticket to the US. LMAO.

I'd love to do that some time!!! Unfortunately I'm a contractor with no benefits and no paid time off. I only have money for one trip out of town a year and that's usually my trip to Clearwater Beach in March. Once I get a real job with some benefits and paid time off, then I'd love to do that!

You do know college isn't an extension of grammer school right?
