Aarhus

Kind of a weird match on Saturday. Aarhus had requested a change to the normal start time of our matches from 15:15 to 13:00 so that they could get back to Aarhus and work during the football game that night. I don't know why, but moving the match up two hours somehow made a huge difference. 1 o'clock felt like 8am.

Anyways, that was the most interesting thing about the match. Aarhus is clearly not a complete team yet so I am going to reserve any judgment for when they figure out their full roster. When your libero is starting as a middle you usually don't have much chance to win.

The match wass never really close. I think in the third set we were even until like 14-14 or something like that but that was as tight as it got. We served better than we have all year and it created lots of problems for the Aarhus passers. Our sideout was also pretty efficient. All in all, not the most exciting game for the fans, but a good performance by us.

Otherwise, I've been cruising the blogs and have been delighted to see a little bit of controversy out there. I'm not really sure that I have an opinion on who is right or wrong, but I definitely don't have a problem with people voicing their opinions. I don't think anyone can be upset about someone writing their honest thoughts, or for that matter, reacting to those thoughts. It's not like anyone is out there threatening someone else physically. A little bit of colorful "discussion" has never hurt anyone (Especially when it is well done and entertaining).

Furthermore, not everyone has to like everyone else. Sometimes, better competition is born out of a few well-placed remarks...

Jeg er helt enig Jordan! Det er gået hønsegård i den og folk føler sig trådt over tæerne uden grund. Men åbenbart er dansk volleyball ikke større end dette.

Lad nu netop den gode konkurrence give det hele noget kulør og drop de fornærmede attituder!

Denne verden er jo alligevel så lille at man ikke kan undgå at stå ansigt til ansigt med folk en 8-10 gange i løbet af et år og så kan man jo passende sige hvad man mener ved den lejlighed istedet for at klemme det forsmået ud på nettet.

aktion -> reaktion -> modreaktion...! Herligt!
