COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Setters are typically the heart of a volleyball team: The player who often thinks like a coach. Some of the best in the country are here at the final four, and we talked to them about themselves, their teams, their TV shows, and even a little telepathy.Jenna Gray, Stanford freshmanIf you could set one ball to any athlete in any sport, who would it be?LeBron James, because one time he had a quote saying that he thought hed be good at volleyball. So Id like to test him.Whats your most memorable play of the season?When [fellow setter] Kelsey Humphreys got stuck in the front row against Wisconsin [in the regional final]. Lauren Carlini saw it, and Im sure she thought, Im going to set this side and get her. And Kelsey got the block, and we lost it. It was so exciting.What is your favorite thing about your schools fan base?Just the tradition. Not just the fans, but the alumni -- theyve written us notes and been so supportive.Who would brag more afterward: a setter who happened to get an amazing kill, or a hitter who made a perfect set?Oh, the hitter, obviously. Because all the hitters will say, I want to be a setter so bad. Theyll set it and say to me, Did you see that?Who on your team would be the best contestant on a reality show like the Amazing Race?I would say [junior opposite hitter] Merete Lutz. We had a scavenger hunt in the preseason, and she was sprinting the whole time. She was very serious about winning it for, like, a plastic medal.Chloe Collins, Texas seniorIf setters are like quarterbacks, who is your favorite QB?I like Peyton Manning ... even though hes an oldie now, and a retiree.Whats your most memorable play of the season?During the fifth set of the BYU match [in the regional semifinals] when I set Ebony Nwanebu, and she killed it hard-core cross-court. No one was digging that ball.Who was your sports idol growing up? Serena Williams, and she still is now. I always wanted to get into playing tennis, but I never really had the time with volleyball. But shes still my favorite.Who would play your coach, Jerritt Elliott, in a movie?Bruce Willis. He can be kind of corny and funny in a way, but still think hes kind of a badass. Plus, hes bald.How often do you change your mind at the last possible second on who youll set?Probably too many times.Samantha Seliger-Swenson, Minnesota sophomoreIts said that setters are like quarterbacks; do you have a favorite QB?I like Tom Brady; I did a book report on him in fourth grade.How often do you change your mind at the last possible second on who youll set?Sometimes ... its kind of stressful doing that. But I think it really helps, because it allows me to be more deceptive.Who would play you in a movie?Ive been told that my voice really sounds like Miley Cyrus; its a little bit raspy. But I dont know if we have the same behaviors.Who was your sports idol growing up?Misty May -- kind of the typical volleyball role model. She always played with such passion and fire. But also Erin Martin, an outside hitter who used to play for the Gophers. I would go to games at the [Sports Pavilion] when I was really young, and just looked up to her so much because she played with such energy.Is there a go-to show your entire team likes to watch?I dont know if theres one show, but throughout the season, wed always watch these creepy documentaries. Like the one on Amanda Knox. A few of us find that stuff really fascinating.Kelly Hunter, Nebraska juniorWhats your most memorable play of the season?Kadie [Rolfzen] has gotten blocked, hit in the head, and it went back over for a point twice. So I think thats pretty phenomenal. Those are always fun plays, especially when we end up winning them.What is your favorite thing about Nebaskas fan base?Their love and support; they show up for every game no matter what time it is. Theyre always tweeting us, and theyre active on social media, which is cool to see.Who was your sports idol growing up?My sister [Lindsey]. She went to Mizzou and did great things with them. I was little at the time, so it was hard for me to understand how good she was. But having her as a role model -- and my mom was a setter [at Nebraska] as well -- helped me continue the family legacy.Who would play you in a movie? I really like Jennifer Lawrence. Shes a little quirky, and she doesnt always say exactly what shes supposed to say.Who would brag more afterward: a setter who happened to get an amazing kill, or a hitter who made a perfect set?I think the setter who makes a good kill. ... Because all setters are thinking, I want to get the point for once! When setters can go up and take a rip at the ball and hang with the big dogs, its kind of fun. Cheap Oakland Raiders Jerseys . PAUL, Minn. Cheap New York Giants Jerseys .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. http://www.cheapjerseys-wholesalechina.com/?tag=cheap-washington-redskins-jerseys . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Cheap Indianapolis Colts Jerseys . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. MANCHESTER, England -- Even by English soccers standards, the latest embarrassment is a new low. Sam Allardyce was forced out in disgrace after one game in charge of the national team.Having taken 25 years to reach the pinnacle of English soccer management, Allardyce was toppled after only 67 days by his hubris and indiscretions involving undercover journalists posing as businessmen.The English Football Association decided Tuesday, within 24 hours of a Daily Telegraph sting being published, that the 61-year-old Allardyce lacked the integrity to hold one of the most prestigious jobs in the game.Allardyce had a 100 percent record -- winning his only game against Slovakia earlier this month -- but will go down as the England manager with the shortest tenure.Even before taking charge of his first game, Allardyce was inadvertently preparing the ground for his downfall with his loose talk in a London hotel in August to the investigative reporters.A covert video showed Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice and also to negotiate a 400,000-pound ($519,000) public-speaking contract to top up an annual England salary of 3 million pounds ($4 million).A further video showed Allardyce mocking predecessor Roy Hodgson, who was fired after Englands humiliating loss to tiny Iceland at the European Championship in June, questioning the FAs financial strategy and talking dismissively about the organizations president, Prince William.The FA acted swiftly to publication of the story, holding emergency talks with Allardyce in London before announcing the termination of his two-year contract on Tuesday evening.In light of the media allegations that weve seen, FA chief executive Martin Glenn said, weve concluded -- and Sams agreed -- that his behavior has been inappropriate and frankly not what is expected of an England manager.And, as guardians of the game, Glenn insisted that the same rules and high standards of conduct had to apply to everyone in English soccer.That consistency, that trust that people have in us to behave in the appropriate manner, is core to what any football association is about, Glenn said. Its a painful decision because we thought he was a great manager, but its the right decision if we are to protect the integrity of The FA.One of Allardyces last official duties as England manager was participating in the Football Writers Association golf day on Monday. It appears Allardyce was playing golf with journalists when the Telegraph first put questions to the manager and his representatives about the investigation.Now Allardyce is left to reflectt on losing his dream job.ddddddddddddIt was a great honor for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome, said Allardyce, who was never called up by England during his playing career. Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FAs full approval, I recognize I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.England is not rushing to replace Allardyce. Gareth Southgate, the manager of Englands under-21 side, will take charge of the senior teams next four matches -- against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain -- across October and November. That means there is less urgency for the FA to hire a new manager with the following game not until March 2017 when England hosts Lithuania in its fifth World Cup qualifier.The Telegraph published its investigation in its Tuesday edition, under the front-page headline: England manager for sale.Allardyce met people he reportedly thought were representatives of an Asian firm. In a grainy video, he is recorded as saying it was not a problem to circumvent FA rules that stop third parties from owning the economic rights of players. FIFA has banned third-party ownership as a threat to the games integrity because investors force transfers to make a profit.You can still get around it, the former Sunderland and West Ham manager said in the recording. I mean obviously the big moneys here.Allardyce told the undercover reporters that Hodgson sent players all to sleep. Allardyce also mimicked Hodgsons speech impediment.Only last week Allardyce was eagerly taking pictures on his phone of the European Championship trophy at the London launch of the branding for the Euro 2020 semifinals and final which are being staged at Wembley Stadium. In the recordings, Allardyce questioned why Prince William was absent from the launch.Hes our ambassador for the Football Association, so it would have been nice if hed have turned up but he obviously had more, much busier things on, Allardyce said.The cost of Wembley Stadium, which hosts England home games, was also a target for Allardyce in the recordings.They stupidly spent 870 million pounds on Wembley, so theyre still paying that debt off, Allardyce said of the FA. Theyre all about making money arent they? You know the FAs the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldnt say that.Allardyce issued a sincere and wholehearted apology to the FA, but it wasnt enough to save one of the most high-profile jobs in world sport.
