Strange Angels, episode #152

On Friday afternoon, 7 November ’08, a few hours before a UCSB Thunderdome women’s volleyball match between Nicole Vargas-led Long Beach State, and Dana Vargas-led UC Santa Barbara, I met with Nicole, Dana, and their mom, Debbie Green-Vargas. We talked about tonight’s match, 30 years of volleyball setting, Olympic boycotts, and why when Debbie went to USC and I went to UCLA, women’s volleyball matches between UCLA and USC were so depressing. For me.
