  1. Montrose is on my team!!!

    MM, I had a widely feared serve as well. I actually was banned from serving after junior year…I kept busting the lights in the ceiling of the gym!

  2. Although my high school gym days still give me nightmares, I do play a mean game of volleyball. In high school my serve was feared. Not so much fear when I was up under the net, but fear is fear. I’ll take it.

  3. Pete, no one, and I do mean NO ONE, wants to see any of the PLUSAs half naked! LOL…and we are serious about nothing but beer and glitter…surely it would be a relaxing game full of frivolity and giggles.

  4. people who play volleyball are too serious. I’m just happy to get it over the net. Those people won’t to kill you with it. But I like to watch the ones that do it 1/2 naked.

  5. But they’ve got volleyball courts all set up! Besides, dodgeball may lead to a few assault and battery charges…think of all the people (myself included I’m sure) who’d be getting pelted really hard by a ball just because 🙂

  6. PLUSA volleyball team, anyone? I’m actually quite good at that game! Everyone should be up for it, as we all have some aggression/curmudgeoness (Pete, Benson, I’m lookin’ at you!) to work out and whacking and thwacking a ball could be good for the psyche.
