Sporting Madness: Checking in from the CIS volleyball championships

Checking in from the CIS volleyball championships

The CIS men's volleyball championships are underway out here in Kamloops, but there aren't any surprises so far; top-seeded Laval is up one set to nil on eighth-ranked Montreal. Later today, we'll have Queen's taking on Trinity Western at 3 p.m. Pacific, followed by the host Thompson Rivers WolfPack against the Alberta Golden Bears at 5 and the Calgary Dinos and Dalhousie Tigers at 8. The plan is to live blog all of those games, as well as chipping in a few other previews and recaps here and there. Check back here often for the latest.

Sporting Madness

Madness definitions from WordNet:

n 1: obsolete terms for legal insanity
[syn: lunacy, madness, insaneness]
2: an acute viral disease of the
nervous system of warm-blooded animals
(usually transmitted by the bite of a
rabid animal); rabies is fatal if the
virus reaches the brain [syn:rabies,
hydrophobia, lyssa, madness]
3: a feeling of intense anger; "hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned";
"his face turned red with rage"
[syn: fury,rage, madness]
4: the quality of being rash and
foolish; "trying to drive through
a blizzard is the height of folly";
"adjusting to an insane society is
total foolishness" [syn: folly,
foolishness, craziness, madness]
5: unrestrained excitement or
enthusiasm; "poetry is a sort of
divine madness" [syn: madness,
rabidity, rabidness]

Seems to me that following sports as obsessively as I do can cause all of these definitions, sometimes simultaneously.
