June 27, 20196 yr May as well get this started. Less than 3 months from the Orange-White Scrimmage about just about 3 months from our first match against Northern Iowa. 2019 non-conf schedule includes: Northern Iowa USC Minny @ Stanford BYU (neutral) A&M Micaya White is the preseason Big 12 POY Skylar Fields is the preseason Big 12 co-FOY Butler, Eggleston and White are preseason All Big 12 Can we serve and pass? Who will primarily set? Who replaces Morgan in the middle and Yazzie on the RS?
June 27, 20196 yr Author And of course - picked to win the Big 12. https://texassports.com/news/2019/6/27/volleyball-tops-2019-big-12-preseason-poll.aspx Texas - 64 points (8 first place votes) Baylor - 57 (1) TCU - 42 Iowa State - 40 KSU - 34 OU - 33 KU - 31 Tech - 14 WV - 9
June 27, 20196 yr Damn KU is just a couple years removed from a co-big 12 and now they’re projected in the bottom 3
August 5, 20196 yr Author Good bump. Single match tickets go on sale tomorrow. Orange-White scrimmage is in 12 days. 25 days until the opener.
August 10, 20196 yr What is the admission policy for the scrimmage? My niece would like to go but it's a long drive for her. Is it possible to get reserved seats?
August 19, 20196 yr It's hard to determine anything from a scrimmage that includes a number of players not even on the team. One team didn't even have a setter on the roster. That said, this team will only go as far as the passing and setting takes them.

Up til 2016, Texas had a pretty good ace to errors ratio and most of the serves weren't lollipops. The only bad regular server I can remember would have been Dalton.

Which points pretty directly to a coaching loss. Salima? I forget the changes and timing.
August 23, 20196 yr Well poop. I have the volleyball schedule on my android calendar and have been sort of anticipating the LSU match tonight, but it appears that it's not showing anywhere.
August 31, 20196 yr Hammered. Dog. Shit. Thank God we aren't playing a top 10 team. But UNI is not shabby.
August 31, 20196 yr Our passing is bad. Is Butler injured? I saw somebody mention on twitter she's not playing. LHN just said she's injured so there's your answer. Edited August 31, 20196 yr by Rickylovesweed
August 31, 20196 yr Not so far. Very young lineup with Molly Phillips and Asjia ONeal getting a lot of minutes. Fields with a few also. Lots of Hahn, no Rounsaville. Hahn allegedly vastly improved.
August 31, 20196 yr Settling down into fairly decent defense. Logan's early forays into being a six-rotation player quite an adventure. Texas takes first 25-19. Closer than it looks.
August 31, 20196 yr UNI doesn't have many answers when we're in system. Skylar Fields looks very good.

Hahn allegedly vastly improved. We're very young. Starting 6 underclassmen including 3 FR. This is a brutal nonconference schedule so this should be interesting.
August 31, 20196 yr I might guess that we are going to get torched in this early schedule, fall into the teens, and be a bit of a spoiler later in post-season.
August 31, 20196 yr UNI is pretty damn good defensively. I can see why they're receiving votes in the top 25.
August 31, 20196 yr If mama petersen spent as much time on her hair as her tan, she'd be much more attractive.
August 31, 20196 yr Would UNI be the 2nd best team in the Big 12? I think they would be. This is why you have to schedule like this in nonconference because the Big 12 is so bad as a volleyball conference. Actually, a good match up for the first match assuming we win. UNI is a good team but not dominant (fringe top 25 type team). This is the type test these young players need before the next 4 matches.

August 31, 20196 yr Hahn has been our best player. Maybe the coaches weren't lying about her development.
August 31, 20196 yr Skylar Fields with 13 kills, 0 errors, and hitting .565. You can see why she was the #1 recruit in the nation.
August 31, 20196 yr Happy for Hahn. Hope she has a great senior season. Lord knows she's taken enough shit.
August 31, 20196 yr This team looks awesome already. These fish are amazing. Damn next weeks schedule is brutal though.
August 31, 20196 yr That will be a quality win at the end of the year. The broadcasters are right UNI will win a lot of matches. Skylar Fields and Hahn both looked good. This young team is about to be thrown into the fire in the next 4 matches. We need Butler back because we're lacking experience all over the court. Edited August 31, 20196 yr by texasstrong12

Maybe but we're substantially more talented and better than every team on the schedule after these next 4 matches. Not saying we will run the table but if we win a couple of these next 4 we probably aren't losing many matches. It would be nice if Baylor could live up to their #20 ranking so there's a challenge in the Big 12 and potential resume wins. I think for this to happen we would have to get swept in these next 4 which is entirely possible based on the competition and how young we are. Edited August 31, 20196 yr by texasstrong12
September 1, 20196 yr 3 of our next 4 are at Greg. We should strive to at least take 2 of the next 4. That would go a long way
