  1. I mean, it's ok to make mistakes.  It was the attitude that she was giving off that was the problem. She missed two MAJOR calls in the first set, but instead of owning the mistakes was just above it all.  Fuck that, I give refs (esp at the youth level) a lot of leeway because it's a hard job, but there's no excuse for the ego here.
    I could be wrong and certainly don't ref volleyball, but what I got from the interaction with JE and the down official was that it's the up official's responsibility to call Rotation Error and it was missed.

    You saw him between sets motion to the up official to talk about it with the down official.


  2. You can just feel the hurt from Nebraska fans and their coach. 
    But let me sum up why they feel that way. They only have 1 good sport at Nebraska and it's volleyball. Texas steals two of their top players from the portal (Akana/Caffey) and then wins the national title. Texas then follows that up by embarrassing Nebraska in the national title match the next season. 
    Volleyball is the only enjoyment Nebraska fans have and they're having to watch their volleyball "rival" absolutely own them. It's glorious. I can fully understand their hurt. 


    Plus, their fans have spent $0 traveling to bowl games in the last 8 years so they can all afford to travel to volleyball final fours.

  3. No hyperbole: I dont remember a single Texas team more banged up than this one, this year
    What's weird is that we came out of summer practice unscathed.

    Feels like we usually have one major injury during August. I think we went into that Rice game with a full roster.
