  1. To follow up on the match: Houston is just flat out better than Austin. 3-1 W for Houston. Their team is mostly Euros, plus Jordan Thompson from Cinci - she led the match w/ 23K. She's 6'4" and their side was noticeably taller than Austin. Seems like Austin played a lot of players while Houston kept their rotation much tighter. Happy to look at the stats this morning and see my thoughts during the match confirmed - Logan Eggleston was easily the most efficient player on Austin and didn't even play much the 1st 2 sets for some reason. Zoe was an animal on the back row - the Houston side was demonstrably more powerful at the net and she was digging some powerful swings. Name change, btw - marriage? Good to see Juliann still playing - she looks great, btw. Chiaka got way too much PT for how she was playing. She was great on O in the 1st half of the 1st set, but after that, more misses than hits and couldn't block to save her life.
  2. At the LovB match now. Great volleyball, but attendance is kinda light. Whoever designed this place must be the same asshole that designed Jerry World - you can’t walk around the concourse on one end, so if you come in that way but your seat is directly across, you have to walk the entire way around instead of the short side. Madi looking great, playing mostly right side so far. Chiaka and Zoe playing well also. The power some of these girls have on their serve is unreal!
  3. Who is SF?
  4. Bummed to lose him. I know he's buried on the bench, but he's a defensive stud. If he can figure out his shot, y'all will love him.
  5. Doesn't make the uniforms any less hideous.
  6. turribuhl. Hate them.
  7. In fairness, they're calling them softshell pants, so... Those look like pants for someone who doesn't fall, and rides mostly in March/April. Never seen them before, and that's not my profile, so I have no opinion.

    Burgers

    Smashburger at Central Machine Works was pretty tasty yesterday. Little salty, but not too bad.
  9. The Celtics believe in defense first. Their offense is based on attacking the weak defensive link on the other team. They just won the title by mercilessly hunting Luka over and over. It has zero to do w/ who is on the Celtics and 100% w/ who Luka is as a player.
  10. Celtics would laugh so fucking hard if that call came their way.
  11. I had to google "softshell pants" and they don't appear to have anything to do with skiing. Do you have the wrong term, or is wearing hiking pants for skiing a thing now? https://www.google.com/search?q=softshell+pants
  12. Dammit @Derka! Beat me to the Beyonce/ TCL one!
  13. Ol' boy was feeling that one. You can hear the groaning at the end. Woof.
  14. Say it with your chest, Lando!
  15. Just had about 5 minutes of technical issues w/ the Bruins/Rangers game on ABC and no announcer audio, just ambient mics picking up the skating, hits, grunts, etc. Pretty sweet.
