The football bowl championship stuff isn't officially an NCAA sponsored event. The NCAA at that level has never officially had a post season. I think that's why alcohol is allowed. Arch Madness definitely has alcohol. Ask every fanbase how annoying Creighton fans always were...

I have rarely, if ever, had beer at Gentile for men's volleyball. I have spoken to the guy who runs the operation at Gentile (his name escapes me). He is usually there at the northwest concession for bball or vball. He calls me his best customer since I always ask if beer is available and if it is I usually buy a couple. What he said was that if Loyola doesn't staff enough security for an event, men's volleyball in this case, he can't sell alcohol. So men's volleyball which doesn't draw a huge enough crowd to justify allocating extra security, doesn't usually have alcohol served. He also said last Thursday that the NCAA won't let him serve alcohol for their event. On a side note, Gentile only has the two concessions which both had about a 20-25 minute wait for food. I was in one of them and almost missed the entire 4th set between BYU and Stanford. Saturday I heard was much better. I didn't get food as I had just eaten at 63's happy hour but I heard that there were extra stations of food in the concourse. At one point, a vendor came down our aisle and was selling $1 hot dogs. We bought some.

Smalzer and Jasaitis were good leaders too. It will be very interesting to see who steps up to take their place as captains. Talent-wise, we return most starters as you just mentioned. Is this Plaisted a right side? We're going to need one. Tony Darin is graduation too.

The MIVA overall should be stronger. Ohio State has to bounce back from a few declining years. Lewis only loses Boldog. If they find a good setter like we did with Hutz last year, they will be very competitive.

Yes as I understand it he's OPP and a southpaw.
