They say you shouldn't mix business with pleasure. I say it's too late. I've been doing it for years. And I don't mean the whole lucky-to-be-sitting-in-the-press-box thing. I'm not talking about sports journalism as 'business.'
Fast starts ensure nothing. Solid play through out the entire match is the most dependable formula for winning, and even that is not a guarantee for success.
A fast start was all the Michigan volleyball team could muster against Minnesota. The 23rd-ranked Golden Gophers, who fell earlier this season to the Wolverines in three games, beat Michigan 3-1.

Marcus Ray was listed second on the depth chart at free safety behind DeWayne Patmon, but Ray definitely saw more playing time than most second-stringers.
After returning from his 'half-season' suspension, Ray took part in a mammoth defensive effort, shutting out Penn State. The preseason All-American played early and often, starting on the second defensive series.
