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.

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.

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.
Pepperdine Does It Again When it comes to beating the top-ranked teams, no one is doing it better (or more often) than Pepperdine this season. In 2010 they've managed to beat the top-ranked teams repeatedly and in fine fashion. A few let down losses kept them outside the top five all season. That is until now. Last week the Waves took on No. 2 USC for the second time this season. And for the second time, they took the Trojans down - this time in three straight sets. Looks like Pepperdine has the hot hand, but let's hope they don't peak too early. Save some for the playoffs, guys! Pepperdine moves up three spots in this week's AVCA poll to No. 4. Despite their two wins over the Trojans, Pepperdine still doesn't outrank USC who landed at No. 3. Stanford was also on the move this week. After decisive wins over UCI (four sets) and UCLA (three sets), the Cardinal moved back into the No. 2 spot after two weeks down at No. 5. Good wins to get under their belt as they'll now hit the road for seven of their next 11 matches.

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.
