UIW is ass.  Haven't had a winning season since 2009.  If the ASU coach doesn't sit their starters and let the backups play, it's a damn coaching mistake.

You're just biased against Texas State's chief rival. Incarnate Word is best not trifled with if ASU knows what's good for them.

    Uh, the other thing being when Binney enters the match Spears sits on the bench. That's even bigger to me than replacing Swindle, and I love both Swindle and Kahahawai.  I think there's something

  • That's going to be a new McCombs graduate diving all over the floor in a few hours.    

  • If Vandy finishes off Cal (leads 2-0), the challenge will end in an 8-8 tie Texas, Bama, MSST and OU all had 5 set wins today

Oh I am certainly not worried about ASU losing to UIW, but back to back days and then 3 matches in 4 games, all while on the road, is a lot.

… especially if stuffing themselves with BBQ and TexMex at every opportunity.

Louisville match passing was way better than I thought. Poor Emma

Halter: 1.97 (57 attempts)
Stafford: 2.17 (18)
AVW: 2.35 (13)
Gary: 2.80 (5)

Someone on VT posted the metrics of Bunton's blocking - she had an elite blocking match against Louisville, which is why she starts.  Now if we can just get her offense and connection with Swindle going

Touch rate - 16.5%
Good touch rate - 72.5%
Error touch rate - 17.2%

Louisville with a good 3-1 bounce back against Creighton on the road

I really like Louisville's personnel. Somewhat undersized at the left pin, but that's pretty normal outside of the top recruiting goliaths like Texas and Nebraska. And Petersen/Chicoine is one heck of a combo if you're going to be slightly undersized.

And Cabello is pretty legit 

UIW did manage to score 21 points in the second set against ASU, but the other two sets were blowouts as expected. 
Our Gregory Gym home opener is tomorrow!

14-10 Texas. TO Devils 

Harvey looks so much better than Bunton already. I haven't seen a slide yet, but she's so much quicker off the floor. I like what I see very early on.

Same thought. She gets up high and slams that ball down

I think with our back line defense, you can sacrifice her blocking for her offense for now

I'm unconvinced we're sacrificing with the block with her in there.

I think it's going to pose a real problem for Elliott with this double sub to pull Spears off the court when we get late into the season and into tournament time. She's a monster. 

I like keeping Binney and Kahahawai invested, and Kahahawai has given everything to this program. But Spears is really really special. It's not like she came out of nowhere, but I had heard she had issues with her shot selection and that maybe Vander Wal was the real steal of the class. I don't know. I like both of them. But Spears has been super impressive in the early going. Like Royal says, if they're going to bite, they're going to bite as a pup.

Holy moley. Harvey on that hit to tie it up at 18 apiece. All 3 of these freshmen look stunning at times.

20-19 Texas. TO ASU

These long rallies are chef's kiss. Texas takes the lead 20-19.

I love this sport so much. I'm grateful to have a team that's fun to watch again. No offense to last year's squad.

22-19 Texas. TO ASU again

When is the last time we had 3 freshmen starters? Do you know off the top of your head, Js1?

Harvey blocks! Harvey kills! Harvey serves (pretty nice serve actually)! 

What Harvey doesn't do is set. No bueno there, Harvey, lol.

3 freshman front row starters? No idea. Was thinking 2011 but Webster was a sophomore, alongside freshman Eckerman and Bell 

Tied up at 23

Sam is such a grind to listen to.

Who was it talking about how unusual it is for Texas to have an uptempo set to the outside pin? I was reading the CC feed instead of listening at the time.

Top 10 Gregory opener sweep! 

Said it last year, but best part of SEC volleyball move is no more shitty black border at Greg.

After being blocked to hell by Louisville, Texas hit .382, despite 9 ASU blocks

Cari 18 kills, .382, 4 blocks 

Stafford 12, .500, 9 digs 

AVW 9, .304

Harvey 8, .636, 4 blocks 

Ella 29 assists, 12 digs

Emma 10 digs, 11 assists 

For those who didn't see it, Whitney Lauenstein, the transfer from Nebraska, before the season last year, got in the match late in the 3rd set with it pretty much out of reach. 

Finally got to catch a home game today before flying back to California. Who is the other tall blonde OH I saw warming up? She’s got a heavy arm and a pretty nice serve too.

Found her on the roster. Abby Gaido. Another Frosh.

Yeah, #14, she’s real bad. 

Give her some time.  Maybe she'll improve.  

Nebraska better not be the unanimous #1 when the poll comes out today. Our schedule cannot be denied.
