Trust me, if you gave it a shot, you'd like to watch a race. It's amazing to be in these races, and a little support is great! Coach-

I love volleyball. And I do cover it -- Every Tuesday night I'm out there covering it. As for this blog, I need some e-mails telling me who to look for. I know Circle, Kapaun and Carroll. But give me some more info. I'm wrapping up some actual stories right now, but if you all help me out, I'll start working on the blog and volleyball. I'm at joanna@varsitykansas.com.

Wichita State ranks nationally in attendance (volleyball), so that should show that this area LOVES the game. (Joanna, I believe you stated it was one of your favorites??) Hundreds of girls participate in club volleyball in the greater Metro area. My humble opinion is that the media doesn't cover it because it IS a minor sport. Not because we won't follow it. Build it and they will come....maybe. There are a ton of us out here, but I’m guessing most don’t post.

Currently, I don't have a clue.

What's that? Ha! Just kidding. We might be able to do that. As for volleyball coverage, I've got to be real honest here -- I haven't been touching on it because there just aren't as many readers or posters of it. As we get closer, I definitely will. But I think I'll wait a little bit until we get closer to the start of the season. Now, maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's just a ton of you out there who are dying for volleyball info. Please let me know. Maybe I've missed the boat here. You all know that I aim to please, so fill me in. Hovpen, who’s that? What’s that?
