Bowling league

Over the past few months alone, she touched down in Thailand covering the world's best at the VNLs, called the season kickoff in Milwaukee at the AVCA First Serve, survived the humidity at Wrigley, and next week she's packing her sunscreen to meet me down in the Bahamas for the Paradise Invitational, all on top of her relentless Big Ten and national broadcast schedule.

She's a former Northwestern libero who knows the back row grind inside and out, a proud member of a local bowling league, someone who understands the rules of backgammon, a fearless adventurer who hikes national parks on her rare days off, and truly the undisputed pulse of collegiate volleyball media.

If a ball is being served anywhere on the planet, chances are she's already at the broadcast desk breaking down rotation efficiency before the referee even blows the whistle.

Joining us on the podcast again, please welcome the voice and heartbeat of the sport, Emily Emond.

Give me a five-setter.

Yep.

Um, so before we get into the Side Out Sprint, I just wanna ask real quick about your bowling league.

[laughs]

We are loaded today as we... getting to football.

Mikey A is starting a bowling league, but Taylor, before we get to that, Mikey A's bowling league, I have so many questions.

Why is the first question? Just so Mikey A is prepared.

Taylor has his worst team, I think, in the history of college football.

Going to go out on a limb there.

All right.

Mikey, what is going on with you in bowling? Why are you starting a bowling league? I judge people who start bowling leagues.

I judge people who bring their own ball to the bowling alley.

That was National U.S.

Bowling League.

Was it really? Detroit won yesterday.

Yes.

U.S.

Bowling League Day.

Oh, I think swag's in a bowling league.

I know he used to be.

I don't know if he was anymore.
