Going to Big 'D'

Next stop on the AVP Train, Big 'D' or Dallas to most. Have not been there since 1998 where Dax Holdren and I lost in a battle to Jose Loiola and Kent Steffes. The AVP website said we won but disregard that. Kent and Jose were jumping a little to high that day for Dax and I to overcome them.

Should be yet another battle to get to the winner's circle. Phil and I were talking about how deep the men's side is. Just 2 years ago there was maybe 8 good teams and they rarely lost before they played each other. Now it seems like the second round of the tournament is a battle regardless of who you play. Top teams beware! If you don't come out firing, expect to be battling in the loser's bracket. You can even say the same for the women's side. If I were to lay down a dollar or two though, I would put it all on Misty and Kerri to win with an exclamation point.

Hopefully the crowd will be large and rowdy. Should be interesting since the Rangers are playing all three days that we are playing in their parking lot. Gotta love the parking lot event. Maybe we get a little spill over or fans can come early to the AVP, drink their fill of the slightly cheaper beer, then go into the park for the $10 beers.

Todd,

Perhaps in your next blog you can tell us how AVP Players plan on handling the conflicting schedules with the AVP and FIVB tourneys. With 2007 being the start of qualifying for China 2008 what will teams do? Or least what Phil and you plan on doing. I was told that all AVP players would be at all AVP tourneys.

Good question.

Todd's Schedule for the 2007 season can be found on his web page.
