Swept Stanford. In fact swept the best if the MPSF. We'll play Stanford probably on Thursday in Chicago.

For those of you who had better things to do last night than support your cougar men's volleyball team, hey, I was watching it here in Florida while cross stitching and cross stitching is a manly thing to do, just ask me any time, you missed a great match.

Like Scott said, we swept them, but it wasn't an easy sweep. The scores were 25-23, 25-22, and 25-22. In the second set, BYU was down 0-4 and seemed to have reverted back to being a typical high school girl's vb team, but with 4,367 attending fans raising the roof, they pulled their act together and started to click.

Both teams played very well, but six players on the floor for BYU and the seventh up in the stands were just too good last night.

The game ended on a bummer play, to speak of. Everybody was hoping that Sander would smash the ball so hard that it would erupt and let all the air out and he really tried, but Stanford kept digging it out and putting it back over the net. Bummer.

Finally, a Stanford player, in his eagerness to stop the train, reached too far over the net and hit it. Call it a night and go home.

Now it's on to Chicago and let's hope BYU does better there than it did in the beginning of the season where it lost it's first two games.

Bolding is mine. For those without a calender, BYU will be playing this Thursday at either 7 or 9 p.m. Living on the east coast, I really, really want it to be the early game.

And then?

Well, mama don't love me as much and the Church has fallible men in it.

Been real busy lately.

It was nip and tuck for the whole match, basically, but Stanford came out with the long end of the stick and used it to beat BYU.
