Happy for Elliott, too.

I guess in part because of the portal, he's done three different things over the past few years that seem to have turned our worm:

  • The emphasis on serving
  • Getting quality DS/libero
  • Top quality setter

I guess there's some luck involved, but the last couple of years I don't feel outclassed when we get to this level of competiton, which was a perennial thing for most of the last 10-11 years.

I hope you like this team. They’re fun to root for. Even someone often maligned like Jenna who stepped up when Madi was struggling in set 1. We won’t win set 1 without Jenna.

Thank fuck. Them some straight up dawgs.

I've got all the snaps but I won't post them.

Here's a nice teaser though!

No dawg here.  Just a badger.

I checked and I think only one of those ladies played tonight.

Madi: “What they say on social media, what they say online, it's a bunch of crap."

I think she’s displaced Logan as my favorite Longhorn volleyball player ever

Man, they sure pumped up the "human interest" angle on her tonight.  I'm liking her a lot better as a person.

I don't think I have seen a back-row attack as effective as she is, evar.  They're usually kind of hit or miss.

ETA: My earlier comment disliking this team I think centered on what felt like all the mercenary talent (as if we didn't win it last year on mercenaries, but at least mostly from lesser programs).  Wenaas was pissing me off, Madi was kind of pissing me off.  Grrr.

They also seemed a little extra lackadaisical during B12 play.

But, man, they have turned it up since Tennessee.

ABC got everything it wanted

Texas/Nebraska grudge match

Both teams reloading after losing some big time players

Elliot/Cook

Akana/Nebraska

Jordan Larson/David Hunt on opposite sidelines 

Texas goes as Madi goes. She had 1 kill in set 2. 

And then in sets 3 and 4 she rarely took a shot from the net. Almost always from the back.

Coaching meets coachable talent. Awesome

that's right

Oh The Drama GIF by MOODMAN

Great friend is an avid volleyballer in Wisconsin. Told me he'd seen nearly every Wiscy match this year, and that if they'd played their usual game they'd have beaten us 25-15 or worse in a sweep. I asked him why they didn't...no good response.

Seems like they got a bit of a gimme with Pitt.

Battle tested vs. young.

Texas’ strategy to serve at Franklin was really good. She was gassed by the third set having to pass and then hit. Smrek wasn’t going to beat us on her own, so

Texas let her have hers and focused on quieting Franklin and TTA (only 21 kills between them). Booth is the quietest 6’7 you’ll see. 2 kills. 

O’Neal hit .688 and outplayed both Wisconsin middles

According to a friend of mine… definitely Izzy A and Devin something (Robinson?) may have been featured in some leaked photos.

It was even through 2. Texas intensity and execution left them rattled, scared, they pressed, panicked, unraveled and then gave up. That was a USDA prime beat down.

Tell him they should maybe try to successfully receive a serve from Skinner every so often. Hard to win points with the ball on the ground.

I did mention they appeared to have issues with service return. 

If we get good Jenna and solid contributions from Molly, we're unstoppable. Madi and Asjia are givens.

Texas won’t face the height on Sunday, but they will face the best libero in the country in Lexi Rodriguez 

Middles go 6’3 and 6’4

OH 6’2 and 6’5

OPP 6’4

They also start a freshman setter (6’1) and a freshman middle and a freshman OH. And their main DS is a freshman as well. 

Texas has the experience factor for sure. And the Skinner factor.

They only lost one game all year.
And it was against Winsconsin from our set#2.

Yeah sometimes your opponent has something to say about whether or not you're gonna play "your usual game".

Anybody got more of those photos?

Videos not photos, and the whole pack is readily avail.

Unbelievable performance against that bunch of gorillas.  Attack and defense both superb, I will be replaying this one for a looooong time.  Way to go, ladies.

Anyone know what hotel the team is staying at? We're thinking about flying out for the game and my daughters would go insane if they saw the team up close.

Madisen Skinner is one of the best volleyball players i've ever watched.

She fucking elevates from the back on those middle kill shots. I love seeing those ladies sky like that.  The O’Neil slide is just as drool worthy.

when she's in beast mode she might be the best OH i've ever seen at texas.  

She comes flying in from the back like Arya killing the Night King

For those scoring at home:

3rd national champ appearance:

TX - Skinner (1 UK, 2 Texas) Akana (1 Corn, 2 Texas), Phillips, O’Neal

2nd national champ appearance:

TX - Halter

Corn - Rodriguez, Batenhorst 

Texas has a combined 14 champ match experiences to Nebraska’s 4

Your daughters huh, Assman?
How do you think I ended up with these kids?

Just wondering if they ever have honorary captains at volleyball matches. If so, Sunday I'd like to roll out a few of Corn's old friends.
