    Meant to type this up after the late March tournament in Austin, but lost track of time.   I'm pretty sure I wrote something like the following… And if I didn't do it here, I'll claim I did

    This is rather massive, our biggest weakness all season was 1s. Will be interesting to see who she pairs with if we don't grab anyone else.

Go win another college national title ring, Molly. Thanks for everything 

Lots of compliments for Molly

Most of the big girl schools start play in 2.5 weeks, we don't even have a fucking schedule yet. We're not even on LSU's schedule, looks like TCU is the only top program we'll play this season.

That's a bit shocking because scheduling is done so late for beach, you'd think we could have scheduled some top teams.  W/o a conference tournament and if we're playing a weak schedule, we may not get an at large bid for the tourney.

I think we may have sleuthed together the entire schedule ourselves in the posts above

We have zero chance at the tourney, the girls we have this season aren’t very good. 

I know this isn't true, but it feels like looks were a criteria. It just seems like we have an unusually good looking beach volleyball team. Especially based on that pic with the schedule where they're all wearing boots. 

Once you start to see more of the teams across the nation, you’ll realize damn near all of them are rather attractive. 18-22 year olds (almost all white) in great physical shape usually turns out well.

Our record will look halfway decent based simply on weak SOS, but only 16 duals isn't enough. 

I'm shocked how little they're playing. For others reference, most play twice that many duals

Well that's unfortunate. Nationals are in Gulf Shores, which is less than an hour from me. Would've been fun to go cheer on Texas in person

Yes, and that's the last year they'll be there.  They're moving to Hermosa Beach in 2025.

Well, there's a chance I'll be moving to San Diego in the next year or two, so all is not lost.

brotherblutto, "WHY NOT?!?!?"  

Thought exercise for the group.  With UT moving to the SEC, the SEC now has 3 beach volleyball teams (LSU, USCe, UT).  If another school adds beach, that's enough for a conference as Big12 has ASU, AU, Utah and TCU. So what SEC school is most likely to add a beach team?  Originally I would have thought Florida because of all the local beach players, but I've heard rumors their indoor head coach doesn't like beach.  The Tennessee satellite schools already have two, UT-Martin and UT-Chattanooga so that would be my pick.

If the SEC doesn't have a conference, what conference does UT join?

CCSA, SEC & B12 don’t need one.

Wish this was streamed somewhere. Molly doesn’t crack the starting 5 lines.

Shit, it’s already over. 4-1 USC, only dropped the 5s.

If Molly stayed at Texas she would have easily been in top 3 lines. I don’t blame her for wanting to challenge herself while going for another ring

Of course not. LA in your last semester with by far the best team, or IM fields with an also-ran? 

Exactly, chance for a national championship and a full season.  I hope she's able to travel with the team as an alternate even if she's not playing

Stanford pulls the day 1 upset, 3-2. 

Obviously early but this one tournament is going to give a glimpse into who the top teams really are

Stanford beat #2 UCLA 3-2 today. They're quickly becoming the early national championship favorite

No, they're not. I would take USC 100 out of 100 times in a dual that mattered. 

They also beat LMU who beat UCLA. we'll see how this year develops

The AMCC Islanders team bus was unloading just as I pulled into the Wharton Bucees last night.  This theory checks out.

Damn, UCLA whooped ‘em, 4-1. Everybody beating each other. 

It was an absolutely stacked opening season tournament.  Great reps for all the teams.
