Who has the biggest breasts?

I can't believe I just read through this entire thread. I've come to two conclusions:

1. Gig is a complete/insecure/OCD/strange/sexually deviant person.

2. At least reading this thread got me away from the college sports forum and getting smack run at me from ag posters.

Its interesting he claims to play volleyball for the University of San Diego.

I am a sop re at the University of San Diego. I play volleyball for the school team.

USD is a small liberal arts catholic university without a real men's volleyball program.

Ouch.

Damn that sucks being called out like that. But, I can't believe that you wasted time from your life to find out that information just to prove him wrong.

oops.

[bigzak25]

it's a club team.

[samikeyp]

but isn't a club team different from playing for the school?

Asking because I don't know.

[2pac]

Club team = play other schools without real teams

Pay money/raise money for the team - little or no school funding or support
No scholarships - no national championships, etc

How is the USD Basketball Team Doing?

Brad Holland “the coach”...was a heck of a collegiate player & played a couple seasons with the Lakers......

[samikeyp]

This thread started with so much potential.

Kori and GiG have a discussion about club team scholarships in QUATTRO

Okay, people ask me this question every day. So I am gonna say it once for all of you.

Men's College Volleyball is unlike any other collegiate sport. There are very few D1 teams. As a result, most college volleyball for men is club. It is a real sport. We are funded by the school, sponsored by Mizuno, and get stuff through Adidas. Out of the 30 or so D1 teams in the nation, only an average of 4 players per team are on full scholarship. I was recruited by U of A, Sac State, Fresno state, USD, Texas (club team, i think thats all they have anyways), and some other schools. Club teams do recruit. They can get you into the school on that sport alone, regardless of what some people think.

I met with my the head coach of USD my senior year of HS. I flew down to SD, practiced with the team, and got a feel for collegiate volleyball. Instead of trying to play for a D1 team on the other side of the nation (because the D1 teams in Cali are the best in the nation such as UCLA, Long Beach, and Pepperdine), I decided club would be better for me.

The main reason why my school has not converted our team to D1 mens volleyball is because of le 9. We need to add another woman's team to our school to make room for volleyball. However there is nothing to add. As a result of this, we cannot make it official. However mens club volleyball is actually more popular than NCAA volleyball in terms of amount of teams. We travel all over Southern Cali, go to Vegas for a tourney, and end the year in Kansas City for Nationals. There are around 300 or so college mens clubs teams. My school placed 33rd this past year. What makes that so amazing (our placing) is that we were the only school in the top 50 teams to place that had under 15,000 undergrads. Our school has about 5000 students.

My team is actually funded 99.99% by the school. The only fee we have is insurance costs (40 dollars a semester). They provide us with airfaire, warm up jerseys, practice shirts, warmup jackets/pants, a home and away jersey, Mizuno shorts, and a variety of other things.

In an attempt to gain more interest in Men's volleyball at our school, the boosters actually DO help pay for tuition. It might not be a D1 athletic scholarship but they can still help out. They dont like to announce this in the open because club teams generally do NOT offer scholarships. But with the generousity of these people, students, like myself who couldnt afford the tuition, now can attend. I see our school becoming a D1 mens volleyball team in the next 4 to 5 years. They have been trying to do it now for a while actually.

My volleyball team gets treated no differently than any other sport at my school. We are close with the woman's team (who finished 9th in the nation this past year) and actually have played them in a game before (we won of course).

Does that clear everything up for you all?

It is the school team you idiot.

gs.

Yeah, I understand. I was supposed to back up Vince Young and UT, but instead I decided to play in the San Antonio City League Flag Football. And if you can believe it, Flag Football is more popular than NCAA in terms of amount of teams.

[tlongII]

True. Its the only mens vball team on campus.

And I wrote it Tlong.

Nice to see that you can write GIG.

You're not conservative enough to be a UT backup quarterback.

a few more hundred chicks and we'll talk more.

[Kori Ellis]

Club teams are like intramural teams at a little higher level that play against other colleges Club teams. They aren't D1 teams, D2 teams, D3 teams, or even less. They are just Club teams.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ginobili is God has gone from a time-to-time poster in the regular season, to a hardcore poster in the offseason, to the guy you love to hate of the Club.

All in like 4 months.

[Kori Ellis]

My team is actually funded 99.99% by the school.

No, it's not. It's funded by your school's rec department - just like intramural teams are.

From your school's website:

· How is the USD Men's Volleyball Program supported?

Currently the program is supported by the generous donations of the O'Toole Foundation and by the facilities and resources of the USD Campus Recreation Dept.

I still don't get how you could say you got a "full-ride athletic scholarship". Do you even know what that means?

Again, from your school's website ..

· Does the USD Men's Voleyball team currently offer scholarships?

No, currently the USD Men's program does not fund any scholarships. However, interested students are encouraged to look into the many opportunities that USD offers in scholarships and financial aid.

[Clandestino]

my flag football team was just like division 1 except we had flags and no helmets...

[The Question Guy]

What the is volleyball!?!?!

And can it trick the government into paying you money!?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

We might be on the verge of a breakthrough in busting illegal payments at a NCAA school.

Oh, wait, that would mean it would be a NCAA-sanctioned team.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Leave the kid alone, what joy do we get out of dissecting his internet forum comments?

Personally, I'd think it would be funnier if we found a Ginobili_is_God poster in a Lindsey Lohan or Hilary Duff forum. But that's just me. --Marc Stein.

I'm not going to leave him alone because he was belittling people and using his "full ride athletic scholarship" to talk down to people. Everyone should know that he just plays intramural basketball with a more expensive jersey.
