Oh that's right, Favre didn't meet the academic standards for Ole Miss.

  i'm sure you have proof of this? 

i believe it was the football standards of ole miss he didn't meet

Big win for Marquette in five tonight. I think it's important because I don't think IL is a top end B1G team, so they could lose a lot of matches even though they have a lot of talent. That's a nice win. Now no letdown against a usually solid mid major in Illinois State.

I know that we discussed Shane Davis in here a few years ago. I was interested to see that Northwestern went 11-1 against a reasonably respectable non-conference schedule. I wonder if Davis has them ready to take a step forward in competitiveness in the Big Ten -- say playing .500 volleyball.

I saw they were receiving votes and took a look at their schedule too. Good for him. Was not looking good for him. B1G is tough, though maybe a little less so than at its peak.

Question for the plugged in VB set, what do you think Davis' salary is at NW?  I believe mid range B10 WVB coach salaries are low 200s.  You'd think he got a sizeable raise to lure him away from Loyola.  Is there so little money in mens VB, at least outside of MPSF, that a powerhouse national title winning coach was only making like $100-125K?

I think that top 10 class he got was huge.  Along with his extension, kind of a big positive harbinger for the program

He AT LEAST doubled his salary by going to Northwestern, where he's probably on the lower end of B1G coaches. He's probably making right around $200K. He was probably a little under $100K at Loyola.

Loyola was going to fold their program when Shane took over. I believe he had just graduated from the program? And they gave him like $15K to be their coach.

That makes sense.  Yea, he took over the year after he graduated.

"We talk about winning a Big East championship probably means a world (where) 17-1, 16-2 is probably what it takes with Creighton over there playing their way," Theis said. "So every match we always say 'St. John's is the most important match of the year. Why is that?'

"And our team will unanimously say, 'Because it's the next one.' "

Facts.  This is why MU volleyball is where they are.  They get it.

[Marquette Fan]

This is fun to watch so far with Marquette taking the first two sets at Creighton.  Let's go Marquette - close this one out in the 3rd set.

Did you pay for Flow or how are you watching it?

I have a yearly subscription for FloSports mostly for Women's Basketball - still have to decide if I'm going to renew again but will probably end up doing it again as I don't want to miss the women's bball road games.

Ok - I shouldn't have posted before - it's not been so great since I posted .

This is what they do against Creighton.

I know - I just got kind of hopeful after those first two sets that they could find a way to get it done tonight.  I guess I should have known better...

[wadesworld]

Completely incapable of beating Creighton.

Completely incapable of beating Creighton.

Yes - I just don't get it...

[MUfan12]

17-17 in the third. Outscored 48-26. Oof.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Completely incapable of beating Creighton.

Theis is like 2-20 against Creighton. Yikes that's crazy considering these teams are pretty close. This one hurt as MU really wants to host a NCAA site in the hope of hosting a Final Four at FF eventually.
