  1. Looking for a good,"reliable" set up(record player and speakers) for my kiddo. Appreciate the feedback from you experts.

    Hey my alma mater, we fucking sucked at basketball when I was there but still the only squad to beat TJ Ford in HS. Hakeem Olajuwon's son also goes to Clements

    Every November my kids hear me talk about TJ’s crew terrorizing Houston, I’ve never witnessed anything like that traveling circus for hs basketball in TX. TJ with the ball in his hands was must watch.

    I’m surprised that KU gym met regulations. Our servers literally had their backs against the wall preparing to serve

    GT plays in a place that would cause some 6A schools to be embarrassed for them 

    I love the home court advantage these vb only facilities build, reason I go mad when Elliot talks about playing in bigger arenas. I know, old man yelling at clouds but regular season college vb still feels like a college-amateur sport. I hope it remains as long as possible. 

    El pato quoting Stanford as a rowdy crowd is comical, maybe for water polo but Stanford is a great place to take a nap during games.

    I continue not to envy Elliot at all, because he's going to have to make some hard calls regarding fan favorites (Molly) if he wants to get Logan a ring before she's gone. 

    • Logan 6 rotations, she can't leave the court ever
    • Parra 4 rotations - 3 along the front and serving (Halter for her other 2 backrow rotations).  Her serve is valuable (2 aces to close to set 3) and she really does have some creative shots in her arsenal and hits a really heavy ball.  She's a bit of a blocking liability, but she can be subbed for a bigger block with Devin. 
    • Skinner on the RS - she just hits better from that position.  I know she came in wanting to be a left side hitter, but it's just not her game (yet).  The opportunity to slide over in 2023 exists when Logan is gone, she just needs to wait.  She's a bit of a liability in serve receive, so I'd continue to have Akana sub for her in the backrow.  At least Akana gets you some aces and really nice digs and can set when SKT takes the first contact, because she's also a bit of a liability in serve receive too. 
    • Caffey and O'Neal in the middle.  You give up some height on the block, but Caffey is damn athletic and better offensively.  She had 118 blocks at Nebraska, she can do it. But it's truly hard to sit such an explosives offensive weapon just for Bergmark's block. 

    We all love Molly Green Giant, but she has options galore - 2 more years here and can slide to the middle if O'Neal leave (her and Bergmark/Singletary) or move to the RS if she beats out Devin (if Madi moves to the outside with Parra in 2023). 

    At this point, you put your best offensive players on the floor (Logan, Parra, Madi, Caffey, O'Neal) and let your floor defense cover up the less than stellar block.  Because we actually have a floor defense that can cover for a smaller block. 

    And let's be real - our B team is still better than 80% of the Big 12.  There's playing time galore for Molly and Bella and even Devin when we face teams like Tech, TCU, Kansas State, OU, ISU and WV.  Outside of Baylor and Kansas, the rest of the Big 12 is meh.  Texas, KU, Baylor and Tech are all projected to finish the season in the top 35 of the RPI.  Then everyone else is 50 or below (OU 51, Kansas State 54, ISU 77, TCU 137, WV 136) 

    Elliot fancies himself a savant, wants our program to be big business and the money/power that drives. He should prove that he can manage it all, i've hated his excuses in the past and don't care to hear them this year. What I thought last night proved, we need SKT to not have a bad game vs. anyone good. She was fantastic down the stretch last night.

    Pending outcome in Lubbock, i'll replay this match in our house all weekend long. Winning is fun.

    Do we honestly live in a world where an obvious joke is taken seriously as a terrorist threat?

    Drunken coed posts she'll blow up a nuclear reactor if the football team doesn't win....and they take that as even remotely anything other than a drunken coed making a dumb joke?

    Have we really lost all common sense?

    That seems to depend on what team you cheer for.
