COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer was a little late to the office, but at least there was a television in the maternity ward at Riverside Hospital.After struggling to get to sleep with Ohio States playoff hopes hanging in the balance and his oldest daughter, Nicki, in the hospital about to make him a grandfather for the first time, Meyer had an early start Sunday, but he didnt make his way to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center until after learning where the No. 3 Buckeyes were heading.I watched the selection show from the maternity ward at Riverside Hospital, Meyer said. Thats a first. And we kind of knew it was coming. It was about two weeks early, but we kind of knew things were moving quickly. Sure enough, we got the phone call yesterday.All of a sudden, you go to sleep and shes in the hospital because things started moving, and then [wife] Shelley, I was out and she left a note for me. I popped up at 5:30, got the text message that the baby was born, grabbed my son Nate to go down there. Got there at 6:30, and we hung out with them.Shortly after noon, Meyer found a television to watch the announcement of the College Football Playoff bracket, which included the Buckeyes becoming the first team not to win a conference championship to make the four-team field.Ohio State will face Clemson in the?PlayStation Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31 in Glendale, Arizona.With that information in tow along with his new role as a grandfather to Troy -- 7 pounds, 1 ounce -- Meyer strolled into the facility just before 1 p.m. with a wide smile on his face.Very emotional, Meyer said. Its my little girl, and Im so proud of her, so proud of the dad. Theyre going to be [great]. Gods blessed them, and now its an incredible responsibility.Meyer also dealt with an illness of his own last week during a busy stretch of recruiting, but he is healthy now and all clear to jump back into his professional responsibilities.A matchup with the Tigers looms, but Meyer is riding high after one of the most interesting, satisfying days of his career.Its been incredible, Meyer said. And everybody is good. Nike Air Huarache White Mens .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Nike Air Trainer Huarache Sale .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. http://www.huarachesshoescheap.com/[/ur... .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. [url=http://www.huarachesshoescheap.com/]Nike Air Huarache Mens Sale . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Nike Air Huarache Cheap . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Nebraska is the reigning national champion in NCAA womens volleyball, and the U.S. Olympic team will have a strong Big Red component, as well.USA Volleyball on Tuesday announced its 12-woman roster for the Rio Games, and it includes three former Huskers: outside hitters Jordan Larson and Kelsey Robinson, and libero Kayla Banwarth.Larson, a native of tiny Hooper, Nebraska (population 830), was a star on the 2006 national championship team for the Huskers, who won their fourth NCAA title this past December. Larson is also one of just four Olympic veterans who will be going to Rio de Janeiro, along with middles Foluke Akinradewo (Stanford) and Christa Dietzen (Penn State) and setter Courtney Thompson (Washington).Coach Karch Kiraly is taking a fairly youthful squad to the Olympics; the teams average age is 27, and Thompson, 31, is the only player over age 30. The youngest on the roster is opposite hitter Karsta Lowe, 23, who actually started her UCLA career as a walk-on and was part of the Bruins 2011 NCAA title team.Along with Lowe, Robinson and Banwarth, the rest of the newcomers are outside hitter Kim Hill (Pepperdine) and opposite hitter Kelly Murphy (Florida); middle Rachael Adams (Texas), and setters Alisha Glass (Penn State) and Carli Lloyd (Cal).(And if youre wondering, yes, there really are two Carli Lloyds going to Rio for the United States -- the volleyball and the soccer versions.)While only four players have previous Olympic volleybaall experience, 10 of the 12 were on the 2014 FIVB World Championship team.dddddddddddd That squad was the first to win gold for the U.S. women in the 62-year history of that event. However, unlike their counterparts in basketball and soccer, the U.S. womens volleyball team has never claimed an Olympic gold medal. Now, theyll be trying to dethrone two-time defending Olympic champion Brazil in its home country.Brazil beat the United States in the 2008 and 2012 finals by 3-1 scores; the U.S. women have three silver medals and one bronze in Olympic volleyball competition, which began for both women and men in 1964.As a player, Kiraly won gold in indoor volleyball in 1984 and 1988, and in beach volleyball in 1996. He was an assistant for the U.S. womens indoor team at the 2012 London Games, and then took over as its head coach after those Olympics.Under Kiraly, the U.S. team has ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the world, winning six of their past eight tournaments dating back to the 2014 World Championship. However, the Americans just lost in five sets against Brazil in their most recent meeting, Sundays final of the FIVB World Grand Prix in Thailand.The U.S. women open Olympic play Aug. 6 against Puerto Rico. The Americans also will face the Netherlands, Serbia, Italy and two-time Olympic champion China in pool play.
