    My guess is it would go down something like this with Hooker looking for a way to get the sand out of his arse and cover up makeup to remove the volleyball lines from his forehead afterwords.

    Yeah I think you could get a couple points. 5 might be a stretch. They will essentially be serving you the whole game which gives you ample opportunities. Neither is a feared server at their level, so I think you have a chance. Its not like you have to spike it down to get a kill. I'm sure you could poke one or two into an open area.

    You could definitely get a couple. There's always some balls that hit on the line and might get lucky and block one. Just wear a cup!!!

    Hooker would you score points on winners or their errors?

    Which are you talking about?

    Kerry Walsh has to be one of the more annoying athletes I have watched in a long time.

    And yes Hooker, you would score some points.

    I used to play both indoor and beach volleyball at a very high level. I don't care how athletic you think you are. You wouldn't score against Misty and Karri.

    It's a whole different game than you play at the family picnic. That sand is not as easy to move in as it looks on TV.
    You'd get skunked unless you lucked into 1 or 2 points that's it.

    I think you should call them out on youtube. Maybe if it gets enough hits we could see a match in the future.

    I don't know about scoring a few points on them but I'm sure I could "score" with at least one of them. :)

    They aren't hard servers, so we should be able to get to a few serves, and as long as we can get a few sets for kills, I think we should be able to connect on a few and get past them.

    Maybe, only because you are playing against the women's team.


    In AN (1) NBA game? That's not as realistic as Hooker's dreams. Maybe in a WNBA game, but I don't see it in an NBA game. If you said 1/10 NBA games, then I could see it.

    Due to the fact that two of your favorite ice cream flavors are mint and passion fruit, I will go with zero points. The only way you get to serve once is if you win the toss...all downhill from there.

    Why the concern? Because these women are in phenomenal shape? Since boobs are mostly made of fat, I'm sure you are used to seeing cheese and beer filled boobs of Wisconsin women. So I could see how seeing women in prime athletic condition would be a shock to you.


    Mmmmm...beer and cheese filled boobs.

    You need to explain this further. I'm not sure people in Wisconsn know what a sports bra is, since its used for exercising.
