  1. 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.
  2. The one that I keep thinking about is Rick Ankiel.
  3. 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.
  4. It hit her forearm. No question. The ball changed trajectory after hitting her forearm.
  5. Harvey blocks! Harvey kills! Harvey serves (pretty nice serve actually)! What Harvey doesn't do is set. No bueno there, Harvey, lol.
  6. When is the last time we had 3 freshmen starters? Do you know off the top of your head, Js1?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I'm unconvinced we're sacrificing with the block with her in there.
  10. I really like this Arizona State coach. I'm curious if another bigger program with more resources doesn't snap him up.
  11. 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.
  12. It hinges on Arch. The switch needs to flip. I'm thinking we're going to have him running a lot more against Sam Houston, to see if that does something for his mental state. I'm not saying there aren't other issues, but all of them are tough to compensate for when Manning is playing this poorly, and a lot of them diminish in importance if he plays a lot better.
  13. Well, there's 3 generations then. The young fans like you who don't know anything about the rivalry. The olds, as you say, who allegedly use them as a barometer. Then the really olds, like me, who look down on them with contemptuousness. That said, it was still an impressive win against Notre Dame in South Bend. I found myself wishing for Marcel Reed on the Texas roster in the first half, and I did NOT have that on my bingo card in the preseason.

    I feel like you're thinking about this the wrong way. We have 16 teams ahead of us. We're going to need to step our penalty game up a notch if we want to be #1!
  15. I recommend volleyball. Might not be your thing, but this team is a lot of fun to root for. Two really gutty wins already this season with the chips down against top 10 teams.
