WUGs Wrapups
We've been covering the World University Games, which are formally called the 30th Summer Universiade. "The WUGs" is so much more fun to say, though.
Alas, the games are wrapping up, with the last competition and closing ceremonies happening today.
Case covered the results for Molly Fears in Diving yesterday, graciously leaving me the volleyball competition to recap.
Of course, if you have read or tuned in to Cardinal Couple regularly, you know the Tori Dilfer was one of the setters on the women's volleyball team at the WUGs this summer as part of the US Collegiate National Team program.
The results, to my mind, were a little disappointing. The US team faced 5 different opponents in 6 matches, and finished the competition in 9th place.

Individual stats are not available for the matches, so we have very little feel for how Tori did with the team, but are confident she represented the Cards well. We look forward to see her on the floor at "L&N Federal Credit Union Arena" nee Cardinal Arena in 34 days for the Red and Black scrimmage and in 41 days for her first official match as a Cardinal against Miami (OH).
Cardinal Couple Circus

We had a lots of fun, oh so much fun, and ragged on Paulie quite a bit, but thankfully there are not a lot of sporting events to talk about. We did catch up on some basketball news, mostly Cards in the Pros, with updates on Sam Fuerhing heading to Germany, and then veering wildly (though with connections every step of the way) to Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe and the US Women's National Team in Soccer.
Strap in and check it out, and match up with us in the Cardinal Couple Quiz.
Case blew the bonus question and I won the quiz in the bottom of the ninth.
