Relive Jason Ring's collegiate years
I was browsing around on YouTube, looking for some good indoor volleyball clips, and came across this awesome montage of former U of Hawaii middle blocker/opposite and now AVP star Jason Ring. There are several you can find, including some international matches featuring Russia and Cuba.
Anyway, we on Guam used to get programming from Hawaii's K5 station piped up here (albeit a week behind), so my friends and I would watch the best years of UH volleyball, including the magical 1996 season. And in those days, as a starter on Guam's top vball club, I was totally into the whole scene. At one point in my life, I had aspirations to be the next Jason to play middle at UH, following Olive and then Ring, but it didn't work out. Obviously.
At least we can enjoy cool clips like this.

Okay...I love...love...love Jason Ring...and yes, I fondly remember that magical year for UH volleyball. In 1995, I was 17, a senior and one day, after school caught a match on TV. Once I saw one game, I was hooked. I remember falling in love with every single player and once school got out, ran home to watch k5 to get a glimpse of Mr. Beautiful Ring. The following year I made a commitment to watch every game televised. Hmm....but without Yuval Katz, Rick Tune and Aaron Wilton that team would not have made it that far!! I was fortunate to catch a UCLA game against UH live...and it was amazing. They were amazing on TV...and even more amazing in person!Hmmm...you say you had aspirations...I graduated with Randall Toal and when he went to UH I thought he was going to be the next Aaron Wilton! Thanks for the memories! P.S. Isn't youtube amazing?!!?
