The blonde in this photo, whose name you can find here, once played varsity volley for Tennessee-Martin, and then eventually transferred to Ball State and played club ball there. Don Chavez found some just-barely-safe-for-work images and assembled them for the good of mankind. You can see my faves here, which are much less suggestive.
When people talk about allegations of “hazing,” it makes one typically think of some poor asshole’s house getting toilet-papered or maybe having to scrape shaving cream off the front of his locker. This latest incident involving the Woodland Hills (CA) Taft High School boys’ volleyball team…this doesn’t really sound like hazing. From KTLA:
Eleven students claim they were hazed by their peers, but none sought medical treatment.
[M]any students outside the school Tuesday said it involved suggestive acts with a sex toy….Some students told KTLA they’ve heard rumors that a freshman player was held down in the locker room and sodomized with an object.
The LA Times had an update yesterday:
Six employees at Taft High School were reassigned Tuesday while school district and law enforcement officials investigate an alleged hazing incident in the boys locker room on the Woodland Hills campus…[D]istrict sources said Principal Sharon Thomas and volleyball coach Arman Mercado were among them.[...]
[They] were disciplined because they allegedly did not report the hazing in a timely manner. The incident, which only involved students, was reported to the Los Angeles Police Department on Jan. 30. But top school district officials said they were not aware of the incident until Feb. 17.
Freshmen? I guess they like ‘em older. Once a girl turns 14, she’s totally past her prime. Maybe it’s different with guys. I wouldn’t know, but then I was never as maniacally sexually frustrated at that age. In other words, I never played boys’ volleyball in high school.
Today in Japanese sports cinema: Oppai Volleyball will star Haruka Ayase (pictured, plus bonus gallery below the trailer) as a high school teacher who takes over the school’s hapless volleyball team. Twitch describes the key plot device:
She does what she can to get you and your teammates producing results but nothing seems to work until, finally, in desperation, she one day plays her hidden ace. If you and your teammates can get it together and win the upcoming tournament she will show you her breasts. Will it work?
I have to assume that that’s a rhetorical question. That would be the easiest volleyball tournament victory ever. With a promise like that, she should really ask for a lot more from her students. “Okay, by the end of the week I want a perpetual motion machine and the secrets to cold fusion unlocked.” The kids would get that shit done by Wednesday.
This undated photo of members of the ASU volleyball team comes via creepy yet efficient Don Chavez, and from it we can draw a stunning revelation: some undergraduate college students may imbibe alcohol. If you can call Sour Apple Pucker alcohol.
Ever the inquisitive gumshoe, I went looking for the ASU volleyball roster to try to determine if these are current members of the team or former members or just random girls who happen to be decked out in ASU volleyball gear. And after a lot of clicking back and forth and careful examination, the answer to whether they’re on the team is a resounding maybe. I dunno. Some of ‘em look like matches, but they do things like hold their heads at different angles and wear their hair in different ways, so it’s hard to tell. And of course all white girls look the same.
Anyway. It’s hard to get riled up about some ASU coeds drinking when Matt Leinart’s not involved.
Big ups to George, whom I casually met at the mile 33 rest stop on I-75 earlier this morning, for this announcement from Nicki Meyer, daughter of Florida football coach Urban Meyer and previously seen here. Nicki is breaking ranks from her dad, choosing to pass over an offer from his alma mater to play volleyball at Georgia Tech next fall. What she’ll be playing with in the winter is anyone’s guess.
“It’s funny because I already have that rivalry,” Nicki said. “I already hate Georgia, so it all works out.”
Nicki says that her dad does what he can to help with her volleyball, from trying to attend her games to helping her practice.
“He just hits it at me all day long − we did that all the time this summer when we were on vacation and stuff,” Nicki said. “He doesn’t know what he is doing, so I just tell him to hit it at me.”
The piece says Nicki is 5-foot-6, but Wikipedia says Nicki is only 17, which means most of you will totally lose interest in her in a matter of months. The bright side is that she may have finally settled on a hair color by then. Damn, girl, don’t you remember what Yoda said? Blonde or blonde not. There is no try. That was Yoda, right?

I haven’t seen an episode of “America’s Next Top Model” in years, and I’ve never heard of Grand View College before, but hey guess what?!? A former contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” now plays volleyball for Grand View College!
[Jaeda] Young has gone from supermodel to role model, though. The middle hitter from Parkersburg now wears a jersey instead of designer dresses. She spends her days attending classes at Grand View’s campus in northeast Des Moines, not planning for a Vogue or Cosmopolitan photo shoot.
Whoa. No way. Are you telling me that some of the girls who don’t win ANTM DON’T overcome those unfair judges to become successful models? I have a hard time believing that someone as successful as a reality show contestant would end up at a small college in Iowa.
(thanks to Tim was Tim for the story; video of Jaeda after the jump)
