Volleyball Commentary
AVP Blinks, Players Win Everyone knows that the FIVB and the AVP have a long-standing history of animosity. Time and time again the two have butted heads. Ever since the FIVB got involved in beach volleyball the two organizations have fought. They fought over the qualification process. They fought over what ball to use. They fought over locations of tournaments and disagreed about how the tournaments were run. In the end, it was a power struggle with neither side wanting to bend to accommodate the other. Well, in Hans Stolfus's recent piece on the AVP site this week, he talks about how the 2010 AVP Schedule doesn't conflict at all with the FIVB schedule. This is a miracle. Especially since in the middle of last season, the FIVB angered Todd Rogers and other players by suddenly increasing the number of FIVB events players had to attend to receive all of their earnings.

Games to Watch - Hawaii Comes Stateside Coming up this week in men's volleyball, Hawaiiis coming to the mainland to take on CSUN and USC. In light of the fall both of these teams have taken in the past week, these should be good matches to see how the 'Bows match up. Also, after one of the worst weeks in Westwood for a long while, the reeling Bruins will take on UCI. Now we'll see if the Bruins have any fight left in them or if UCI can capitalize on their struggles to finally move up in the rankings. No. 1 Pepperdine and No. 2 Stanford will be challenged this week by BYU and Long Beach State respectively. Both will need to win solidly to assure they keep their ranks. Here are the rest of the matches to keep an eye on this week: Wednesday, March 3rd Friday, March 5th Saturday, March 6th Monday, March 8th Games to Watch - Hawaii Comes Stateside originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 15:46:50.

Pepperdine Shines, Bruins Struggle Pepperdine continued to roll over the weekend, confirming that their No. 1 ranking is deserved. They once again handled CSUN, beating them 3-1. Seems the Waves have hit their stride. CSUN beat USC for the second time this season, clearly continuing their dominance over the Trojans with their 16th consecutive win in the match up. The Matadors moved back up the ranks of the AVCA Coaches Poll to No. 3 this week. Worst weekend honors go to UCLA. The No. 3 Bruins got skunked 0-3 by both No. 9 Long Beach State and No. 14 UC San Diego. UCLA falls two spots in the poll while Long Beach jumps up three spots.

Would the Real Deal Please Stand Up... The number one ranking has changed for the third time this season in men's volleyball, but the coming weeks will make it clear who the real top team is going into the playoffs. It's the battle of the formers on Wednesday. Former No. 1 CSUN meets former No. 3 USC. Now ranked five and six respectively, the game has lost a bit of its luster, but should still be a good battle as they both teams attempt to turn things around. Then on Friday, former No. 1 CSUN will take on current No. 1 Pepperdine which could show us which team is currently the real deal. Here are the other matches to keep an eye on this week: Wednesday, February 24th Friday, February 26th Saturday, February 27 Would the Real Deal Please Stand Up... originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 11:42:33.

A New Number One Trouble at the top this week. CSUN and USC have dropped out of the top three in the AVCA Coaches Poll for the first time in the regular season. With losses to UCI and UCLA, Northridge drops to 11-4 on the season and tumbles from the No. 1 spot. After three weeks at the top, the Matadors now sit at No. 5. Just behind them is former No. 3 USC. After last week's loss to No. 2 Stanford, they fell three spots to No. 6. And with that, Pepperdine finally gets to take a turn at the top, grabbing the No. 1 ranking for the first time this season. Now we'll see if they have what it takes to stay there. The only team that didn't benefit from taking down a top team last week is UCI. Despite beating the former No. 1 team in four sets, they remain at No. 11. Expect that to change in the coming weeks.

But Wait...There's More! To add to last week's announcements out of the AVP regarding the new commissioner and this summer's schedule, another piece of good news was revealed this week. We will see the Tour on TV this summer. ABC and ESPN2 will carry the finals of 13 tour events, four on ABC and nine on ESPN2. The exposure should help the Tour secure that elusive title sponsor it has yet to announce. Most of the air times are during the afternoons and early evenings on Sundays, with one tournament airing at 11 p.m. and three tournaments airing at midnight. Thank goodness for Tivo.

AVP Announcements Minus One Two big news items out of the AVP this week. The Tour named beach VB legend Mike Dodd the league's new commissioner. He'll be responsible for overseeing "all competition, athlete welfare and sport development." Also, the 2010 tour schedule is out and it lists 12 event locations for this summer. No tourney scheduled as yet in Las Vegas this year to the chagrin of many fans and a few less tournaments than last year. Some of the details are less than solid, but it is good news that they are moving forward. One announcement that they didn't make was who their new title sponsor will be since Crocs pulled out last year. With the start of the season right around the corner that could mean trouble. Beach volleyball fans should hope that's the next announcement we hear. AVP Announcements Minus One originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 11:08:52.
