Oh no, not you again!

In the words of Homer Simpson, "Ohhh! It just keeps getting worse and worse."

You know, I have seen futility and ineptness of all shapes and sizes, but would you ever have thought that three straight match sweeps at the hands of the same team would happen tonight, and take the cake in terms of defining the epitome of fail? Didn't think so? Then neither did anybody donning the Black and Gold at the Bren Events Center last night. Out of all the supporters there, I was surprisingly calm.

Somehow, I knew at the back of my head that I would hate to be anyone on the team if we were unable to figure these guys out. I did not think that my mind would be turning to baseball, softball, and track in a hurry. And I just had a gut feeling that it would be a Pepperdine-Penn State final. Perhaps the only Beach supporters who grimly knew the inevitable.

Actually, what got me really riled up was the guys from Staff Pro and the NCAA officials patrolling the aisles. Must be a very lonely job, and a very difficult one, to manage these sorts of things, but you gotta give them credit for taking these types of verbal abuse. That and my fellow supporters not getting loud to the end. I had to cheer Ryan KObane up. Ryan is the editor-in-chief of the Union Weekly.

This Long BEach State men's volleyball team is going to have to hide under a huge rock, and follow it up with some soul-searching in the long offseason. I don't think even Penn State, those beasts from the East, are going to stand a chance against Paul Carroll and company. The only way that Pepperdine can be stopped si that it meets the same fate that Lewis was dealt with in 2003 and Hawaii in 2002. Not something I wish for, but then again, Cal State Fullerton fans (those turds; your softball team will be dinner this weekend) had their schadenfruede episode when Larry Reynolds and Reggie Howard (those conniving bastards) made all my work two seasons ago look like it was in vain.

As I took the bus home, I passed by a banner that said, "Wilson Girls Soccer, 2007 National Champions. We Made History." Tonight, our guys made history. For all the wrong reasons.
