February 8, 20232 yr Yeah, I figured four courts. Obviously somebody in the AD office already thought this through, I'm just waxing real estate possibilities out of curiosity. But it's a tough sell to dedicate prime real estate to that because there's literally nothing else you can do with the sand. But I guess some of these programs are situated in places with expensive real estate constraints like we are. I wonder if there are any that use the space for say parking or outdoor basketball or something like that, then just dump the sand for the 60 days of season, and then remove it again afterwards. But again, I would think you'd need some kinda nearby locker/training. Somebody drunkenly said the other night that maybe those basketball courts between Cavan Lacrosse and Blanton. You've got enough parking on the weekends for fans in that garage, Gregory VB proper locker and training are just 1.5 blocks away (I guess you run the athletes if they need something in golf carts). Spectator seating would be an issue though and you could sell concessions outta the first floor of San Jac dorms for football games. Anyway, fun problem to have. this is gonna be a helluva lotta fun for fans and great for recruiting.

February 13, 20232 yr There’s still no one officially on the beach vb roster. Maybe they’re allowing some of the athletes to practice before deciding to commit or not
February 13, 20232 yr Anyone care the name the players. I only recognize a couple https://www.instagram.com/p/ConiLz2Ot3K/
February 13, 20232 yr Asjia, Sydney Helmers, Marianna Singletary, Molly, Devin Kahahawai, Madi are tagged in that Insta post.

February 26, 20232 yr Not sure where to post this so I'll put it here. If any of you degenerates have daughters that would be interested.

March 6, 20232 yr What carriers even have P12N these days? I know Sling did at one time. I'll be at LSU v. TCU this Friday. #3 Frogs rolled up #2 FSU this morning.

Texas has great beach clubs and no dominant beach program at the state flagships (yet, we coming), plus TCU has 7 international players on their beach roster and 2 transfers from Pepperdine and FSU I wonder if CDC recommends Hector Gutierrez to Elliot as a potential HC option (he hired him from FSU where he was a top assistant), though I think Elliot has explicitly said “she” in talks about the permanent beach HC he will hire Edited March 8, 20232 yr by Js1
March 8, 20232 yr Let’s gooooo they playin 15 mins away next fri and sat. How this work @Js1 Rules all the same? Just this time playing on sand? tix and fans? Lookin like games are hella early in the morning?? Can we attend ? Edited March 8, 20232 yr by kingkoopa6

Lookin like games are hella early in the morning?? Can we attend ? Rules are very different minus the whole "volleyball" thing. You can have deeper sets. You won't see the "throws" like attack as those are illegal. No open handed tips. Lots of other small things. It's a very different game and don't be shocked if these girls get run off the court by much "lesser" teams on paper.

I think at least on of TCU's current commits is also from Austin. Between Austin and SA there's a lot of beach talent to tap into from Central TX.

March 8, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, kingkoopa6 said: tix and fans? Lookin like games are hella early in the morning?? Can we attend ? TCU has always been free since their program started, just walk up as close as you want. The balls bounce out of play to the fans regularly, you just hand ‘em back. Won’t cost you anything either. Quote Tucked behind Jack Rose Track and the LBSU Campus Baseball Field, the LBSU Sand Courts remain free for all fans and allow for music during competition and the intimate atmosphere associated with Beach Volleyball while providing a first class space for competition with 2013 National Champions and perennial national contenders in Long Beach State Beach Volleyball. The closest parking for the facility is located in parking structure 1 or Lot G11 in front of the Walter Pyramid.
March 10, 20232 yr How does a team qualify for nationals? Nationals are in Gulf Shores, AL this year and next, which is less than an hour from me. Would be awesome to go watch if we qualify!
March 10, 20232 yr Quote From 2022 onwards, the championship tournament was expanded to 16 teams. As of spring 2022, eight conferences sponsor beach volleyball, and the winners of each conference will receive automatic bids for the championship. ASUN Conference Big West Conference Coastal Collegiate Sports Association Conference USA Ohio Valley Conference Pac-12 Conference Southland Conference West Coast Conference Additionally, two teams from the East Region and two teams from the West Region will be given bids by the NCAA beach volleyball committee, while the final four teams will be selected at large. Basically, just don’t be terrible. Texas won’t be very competitive this year, but there’s really only about 5 programs that matter. USC & UCLA have won every single NC in the current iteration.
March 10, 20232 yr Our roster seems rather large for a sport that only uses 2 players on the court as opposed to 6 players in indoor. I look forward to watching and learning this sport in the coming years
March 10, 20232 yr 5 x 2 for every match, plus your backups/practice players. The hype squads from the girls not playing are always entertaining.

March 10, 20232 yr 0-5 in first sets, none particularly competitive (11, 14, 14, 14, 15). Phillips/Crownover lose. Other 4 matches losing in the second set. Gotta start somewhere. I'm looking forward to watching the team grow as they gain experience.
March 10, 20232 yr #9 Hawaii 5 Texas 0 (But it's great experience, both in terms of chemistry and overall competitive playing time in the spring)
