  1. k, gross
  2. Yep. Dance with Fox and the mountain/west coast, you get what you get
  3. The Big 12 knew it would get 10am games when it decided to partner with Fox and expand into the mountain time zone
  4. That is and has been Stanford’s MO under Hambly. They don’t mind 20+ errors if they get 10+ aces and force opponents into abysmally bad passing. It’s when they have 20+ errors but they do not exert enough pressure in forms of aces and taking teams OOS
  5. There hasn't been a lot of middle ground this season - either people love it or hate it. (It's me, I am in the middle, there were some good episodes, some great ones, and some meh ones) Hope they nail the finale.
  6. Stafford 1.81 41% GP (42 attempts) Halter 1.94 44% GP (16) Gary 1.90 47% GP 15) AVW 1.43 29% GP (7) Vintage Texas to win a match with no single player passing above a 2 Stanford had 3 (Etzler 2.01, Rubin 2.44, Kurt 2.09)
  7. So…. Beanie Babies?
  8. It is only 8 episodes and none of them are particularly that long. I thought it ended much better than it started - some really good stuff they put in, and set up a fun season 3

  11. I’m pretty sure the blonde dude on the bench is tracking rotations and subs.
  12. The L can sub in for any back row player but once you sub out, you have to sit out a rally. A lot of teams are experimenting with the two L system, where one serves and then subs out for one to do serve receive. You have to be pretty on top of your subs so you don’t run out. I remember a match last year where Nebraska’s L had to play her front row rotations because they ran out of subs lol
  13. The L is a back row player only. When her position rotates to the front row and subsequently gets replaced, she has to sit one rally until she can come back in to replace and play her back row rotations. Hence the serving sub instead being a DS The exception would be a Mb who serves, like O’Neal, who plays 1 back row rotation. Believe Ames also served and played 1 rotation in the back at times last year
  14. Also re: the Gary one-armed dig above - Will be sad to see Halter go (😭O), but Gary could be the starting libero today for any team in the country. We won't see a big drop off when Halter graduates and Gary has the black jersey next year. Krueger will likely be the full-time DS in 2026, in preparation for her to to be starting libero in 2027 as a RS SO. Assuming we don't pluck a starting caliber libero/DS out of the portal next year with multiple years of eligibility
  15. Yes, the scorer has to see the MB come back on for her rotation, and the DS the sub in for her to serve You don't want to half-ass those rotations/subs or you get called for it on the serve and its a free point for the other team (out of rotation)
  16. Only bc it’s amazing to watch
  17. Well 16 is Anja, who is a serving specialist and DS. And 55 is Bunton, who doesn’t play backrow. Perhaps it is when Halter’s position rotates to the front and she comes off and Bunton’s position rotates to the back and she is replaced by her DS, who is Anja I think it’s bc Halter is better playing more middle back and Gary is better at left back. Think it makes our rotations kind of funky?
  18. What do you mean?
  19. Either Elliot is trying out different times to use it, or it’s a hunch feeling for him
  20. Yes. Some matches it gets done in the middle of the set (the teen points) and sometimes it’s in the 20s / red zone for Devin’s block to be a factor in closing out a match It’s not even a 5-2, it’s just a double sub for 3 rotations for like a small stretch of a set. It’s not consistently every time Ella goes into the back row. Only sometimes
  21. That was a passing match for Emma and Torrey to forget. But Gary! The matched turned with her impossible stab at 10-7
