Yeah, my first wife was a 6' smoke show volleyball player at Valpo ... then she turned 40 and .... I had to trade her in on a younger model. Not because of her age.


Valpo huh? I work with a few folks who went there. I’m in Chicago and there’s a lot of Indiana folks here

Louisville chokes again. Nothing new. We were 1-6 in five set matches this season. In most of those we were either up 2-0 or 2-1 before losing

Volleyball is a very underrated sport. Probably now 4th behind women's basketball in popularity

5th, behind women's softball. Assuming you are referring to NCAA.

Texas Tech/Texas WCWS averaged 2.2 million across three games.
Penn State/Louisville was the second most watched volleyball final with 1.3 million.

Edit: 6th because you are leaving out college baseball which would be ahead of softball and volleyball.

To be fair, a lot of that has to do with time of year. Women’s finals have to compete with an NFL Sunday, and WCWS had NHL playoffs to compete with I believe.

Also, the NBA playoffs. Kind of a big omission don't you think? I just present the numbers; you can play with them however you want.

I just saw the 2.2 million number and assumed that was game 3, which I thought was the same night as the NHL playoffs.

I didn’t realize that was the average over 3 games, which you’re right, definitely included game 1 of the NBA finals against it.

I don’t know how that compares to an NFL Sunday, but I was definitely off on that one.

Nothing is remotely comparable to the NFL rn. They’re clocking in at an average of 18-19 million viewers per game

Yeah, her Mom's side of the family is feom there. Her Dad was doing a stint with the NCAA compliance department at the time. Her grandfather was a ling time engineering professor at Purdue.

Indianapolis is a fairly underrated town tbh. I met her during a weekend trip to Indy with an Army buddy ... she fell for me because I was 4" taller than her.

There are a ton of Indiana people in Chicago for sure.

I’ve watched it at least 10 different times this morning (I’ve seen it posted in several different places), and it never gets old.

Crazy.
