“Big White Girl”… Hahaha. That would be Sarah Franklin who will probably be Big Ten Player of the Year.Purdue wins 5th set 16-14 on a freak play where their big white girl that had killed us all night spiked the ball onto the top of the net and it rolled all the way on the net across the court falling out of bounds.
I have always loved watching Volleyball, especially men's olympic volleyball, but its hard to find. Tonight was my first night with access to BTN, so it was a good one to watch. I wondered on that last play and wanted to see another replay but have not found it, but it looked like it travelled the top of the net most of the way across the court before falling off and going out of bounds on the opposite side of the court where it was hit. And yes, I was referring to Franklin but when I wrote it I could not remember her name. She and Booth were handfulls, but Franklin made an impression just with her size. She is tall of course, but she has some serious bulk to her as well.“Big White Girl”… Hahaha. That would be Sarah Franklin who will probably be Big Ten Player of the Year.
Not sure I would call the final play a “freak play.” Franklin caught the top of the net so it was not a well hit ball. And if you look at the replay it only tolled a little way on the net and then flew OOB.
But I am glad you enjoyed the game, Michael. VB is a wonderful sport.

In my younger days I played a lot of adult volleyball: leagues and traveling teams, so I too like watching volleyball. I went to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was able to catch a match of the men’s volleyball team. I have never been as amazed as I was then. The power and speed of the play was something. Watching on tv doesn’t do it justice to how amazing the sport is in person.I have always loved watching Volleyball, especially men's olympic volleyball, but its hard to find.

There were quite a few freak plays in this match, and both teams benefitted from them.Purdue wins 5th set 16-14 on a freak play where their big white girl that had killed us all night spiked the ball onto the top of the net and it rolled all the way on the net across the court falling out of bounds.
Have to do a shout out to the Block Party. That is a great student section!In my younger days I played a lot of adult volleyball: leagues and traveling teams, so I too like watching volleyball.

If Purdue does host the first two rounds, how difficult will it be to get tickets?
