Rich Lambourne
I usually start with commentary on the TV Boyfriends, but I felt the need to show what Rich looks like before we go much further.
Now, I know it’s not all about a pretty face, but I’ll have to say, it sure doesn’t hurt anything does it. He is 6′3″ tall and weighs close to 200 pounds. Sounds just about right to me. He was in a bad bicycle accident when he was 6 and skinned his shoulder to the bone and mangled the right side of his face. He says, “I could have been much uglier but due to my loving parents and medical science, I am only mostly unattractive…” I can’t say that I agree with that statement now.
He does say that he is a “bandwagon” guy when it comes to professional sports. Hey, me to, me too. And that basketball is one of his favorites along with golf and football. He says his favorite athlete is Michael Jordan. Hey, me too, me too.
He calls San Diego is home and of course as most men of leisure he enjoys golf, beach volleyball and tennis. He says his happiest moment in sports was winning the national championship at BYU in 1999. He was MVP at Foothills High and played volleyball briefly at BYU. He majored in Japanese at BYU.
As for college highlights, he started as an outside hitter, because you know, 6′3” is not real tall in the world of men’s volleyball. He played in 82 games and posted 252 kills, 205 digs, 88 blocks and a .348 hitting percentage. In 1998 he played in 21 or 22 matches and recorded 150 kills, 133 digs and 78 blocks. I mean, I could go on and on and….well I will because in 1997 he ranked fourth nationally with 2.73 digs per game. He was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week on March 22.
