1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,560 Welcome to Nerd Sports. In today's episode, my professional team of 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,800 keyboard warriors will be taking on the Trinity Western Spartans women's 3 00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,840 volleyball team. On the one hand, we're feeling pretty good cuz I mean, come on, 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,840 it's a women's team. How hard could it be? 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,279 On the other hand, these women were apparently the national champions in 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,279 2015. So, uh, all we can do at this 7 00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,640 point is hope that our bag of tricks will be enough to keep them at bay. 8 00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,559 I'm Dennis. Um, I'm Taran Luke. Nicholas 9 00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,200 John Morton. Lor Sebastian. My name is Colton Potter and my height is 5'5 on a 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:52,079 good day. I'm Katie Danny, 61. I play middle. Nikki Cornwall. I'm 510. I am a 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,879 setter on this team. I'm Bri O'Reilly and I'm 6 feet. Not only have I never 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:06,159 played volleyball, but I've never even seen a game, but I did read the rules. I 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:08,159 am 170 CN, 65 kg. Um, I've been playing 14 00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,280 volleyball since I was in grade seven. I've played in championships, 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,040 provincial, national. And you think you'll win today? Definitely. I 16 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,880 definitely think we're going to win today. And I'd say that my athletic ability is 17 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:25,360 a solid B minus. Sporting. What? Sporting experience. 18 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:31,640 I don't have any athletic experience. I know how to run. Run. 19 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,479 Yes. Yes. I can hit a ball in my on my 20 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:39,759 hand. That's all. The last time I played volleyball was in the one week PE unit 21 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,680 in grade 8. How high can I jump? Great question. And let me answer it with a 22 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,799 demonstration. Like a foot. I played for 23 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:55,950 2 years in grade five and six. I was okay. And now I'm apparently the captain 24 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,029 of the team. 25 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,000 I don't have to pee now. 26 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,920 wondering. 27 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:45,920 They're all really tall. It's intimidating. Well, they look like 28 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,640 they could literally crush me. I'm only tall compared to normal people. I'm not 29 00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,519 tall compared to sports people. We haven't seen them block yet, so they 30 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,920 might be really good jumpers. You never know. I think they got some hearts, but 31 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,660 I don't know if heart's going to be enough to beat us today. That's number 256. 32 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,690 Pretty fashionable. 33 00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:15,200 Uh to win, we are going to have to cheat really, really hard. It's the Keyboard 34 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,599 Warriors taking on the number one ranked team in the nation, the Trinity Western 35 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,680 Spartans women's volleyball team. Brandon alongside Tyler Denwy. I think 36 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,360 that they're probably in a bit of trouble today. Brandon, what what can we 37 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:30,239 expect from the girls team? They're going to come hard and heavy. They don't 38 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,159 drop many sets even against the top teams in the CIS. So, I'll be shocked if 39 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,480 these guys can put up much of a fight of them at all. Taran claims to have never 40 00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:41,280 touched a volleyball in his life. Uh, he knows there's a ball in a net with 41 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,799 regards to volleyball and you get the ball over the net. It's basically ping 42 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,400 pong with people, right? I feel like that's a pretty honest bio. I don't 43 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,080 think he has ever touched a volleyball. They got the right number of players on 44 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,920 the floor. That's a good start. They're doing a paper rock scissors actually to 45 00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,439 see who gets to go first. Oh, the handshake. That's good. Even 46 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:02,000 that looked awkward. All right, let's let's get this thing underway. What do 47 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,560 you think the chances are this thing gets over the net? I'm going to say 48 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,879 zero. Not at all. And the ball's in over. 49 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:14,400 Serves a beauty and a quick strike from the 50 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,799 Spartans. It's interesting. You know, I think the keyboard warriors have to take that as a 51 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,840 small victory. Nobody got injured on the play. 52 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,960 Well, they got a return, unfortunately. 53 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,199 Oh. Oh, just out of the reach there. All 54 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,320 right, this is her sixth straight serve. She's going to have a seventh. Still no 55 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:39,840 injuries on the keyboard warrior side. I'll be shocked if we can get through this without any. Oh, a nice little bump 56 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,639 there from Lun and not sure what Taran 57 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,440 was doing or why he was blaming his uh partner on that play. It looked like he 58 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,199 was trying to point some fingers when he clearly didn't move at all to make the 59 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:52,960 play that he had. And now L unit's going to call timeout. He seems to be the 60 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,520 leader of this squad. Huddle up, guys. Okay, we're calling timeout. One of the 61 00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:04,160 many that we might pick. Okay, guys. Main advantages of their team, they are 62 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,800 faster, stronger, taller, and better. 63 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,880 talented more talented practice. Yes. Okay. Let's see what we can do about 64 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:16,320 their visibility. Okay. What's the move here that uh the keyboard warriors have 65 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:20,400 in store? Lionus clearly the uh the spokesman for the group. Taran wants to 66 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,120 be as far away from the group as girls as possible. It's like so the girls are 67 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:28,080 wearing the hats. I'm not sure what this means. Is that obstructing their view? 68 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Cuz I don't think it's going to matter. We're back on her way. Cornwall loses a 69 00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:37,600 hat. It doesn't matter. Oh, what a dig. Oh, look. This is the rally of the night 70 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:41,520 so far, Brandon. And it's over. Oh, they 71 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,520 got a point. It's over. Everyone go 72 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,560 home. My goodness. Taran almost went down a hard on a celebration. Did you 73 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,479 notice that while the group went together, he went down to one hand to 74 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,000 keep himself up and never got actually congratulated by anybody on the team. 75 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,479 Sort of looks like a Tolken character you might find in a Lord of the Rings movie. He hit Money Man in the back of 76 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,720 the head with his serve and is laughing about it. 77 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,600 Oh, that one hurt. 78 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,880 Another point for the Spartan women. 79 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,560 It is interesting. Notice that Lionus is even struggling kicking a rubber chicken 80 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,919 across the floor. This is actually probably a better tactic, but the issue 81 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:28,240 here isn't necessarily whether or not they're holding a rubber chicken. It's whether or not the keyboard warriors can 82 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,639 get the ball over the net. Oh, nice 83 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,680 return by Murka. And the keyboard warriors are on the board again. Oh, 84 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:39,440 nice dig by Lunit, but he just has no support. Dennis had he didn't want 85 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,120 nothing to do with it. He jumped. I don't know if you want to call it a jump 86 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,960 necessarily is more of like a shutter stutter step, but he moved anyway. So, 87 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,560 the the cowboy hats didn't work. The chickens, eh, it got them a little 88 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,800 flustered. Now, after another timeout, looks like they're bringing out the oven mitts. Not going to lie to you, I think 89 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,039 this is a real poor tactic. I don't see these oven mitts really affecting them that much. Like if they want to win this 90 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,160 game, they got to pull out the big guns and pull them out fast. Yeah, they need to pull out some string and tie their 91 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,840 hands behind their back. That might help them win this one. So now the girls have 92 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,000 to wear a cowboy hat, hold a chicken, and wear an oven mitt. And it still 93 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:18,560 didn't matter. The ball's over. Alunit bumps it to Money Man. He was having a 94 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,599 strong game, but then decided I feel like strong game's a pretty generous 95 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,840 term for what he's been having this afternoon. Girl side, Tyler, it's just 96 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,880 been no mercy. Just one after another. You're really putting these guys at a 97 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:35,520 health risk the longer this match goes on and Ela with a nice little bump and 98 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:40,800 Taran can't get it over. My goodness, you can't fake that position he got his 99 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,680 back into and where the ball actually hit his hand. Contortionist in a circus 100 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,639 sole would have been proud of that. Oh, they got one over. Got another one over. 101 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,400 There you go. That's the challenge at the net I was looking for, Brandon. And 102 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,879 there's a point. There's a point. Now, I want to go back to what I said on the previous point. I said America Net needs 103 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,160 a challenge at the net. He challenged at the net on that one. They won the point. 104 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,759 Wonder if I should put down the playbyplay headset and go down and guess 105 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,680 coach this team for a while. 106 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,120 And another unfirst error from the ladies and they're just giving them away 107 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,280 right now. The Warriors, the keyboard warriors, they're exploring a tactic 108 00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:19,120 that I would have thought would have been good for the women is just get let them make mistakes, right? The less they 109 00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:25,360 have to do, the better. Okay, I'm feeling good. Okay, next point wins. 110 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:30,400 Well, Brandon, looks like Lionus has called his standard next goal win 111 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,919 scenario here. Judging by the pace of 112 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,959 play thus far tonight, I'm not sure this is going to be any benefit to the 113 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,959 keyboard warriors, but let's see what happens. 114 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,600 Nice little serve there from 115 00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:03,240 Luke gets it over and now Taran with the 116 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,240 two-handed slap 117 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,000 Well, Tyler, mercifully, this one's over. I don't know if it was exactly how 118 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:34,399 they thought it'd go, but nonetheless, I think uh the girls definitely put one on 119 00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:38,800 them this afternoon. We scored one point. We scored one legitimate point 120 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:43,680 against them. It all went downhill from there. I enjoyed it more than I 121 00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:50,720 expected, and I was getting not good, but less bad at the end. I think Golden. 122 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,839 How do you think you did? 123 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,839 Yeah, volleyball is fun. I I like 124 00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:56,839 volleyball. 125 00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:02,760 All right, guys. We gave him a good fight, but uh I think we'll have to give 126 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,399 this one to him. Huge thank you to the Trinity 127 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,320 Western women's volleyball team.
