Rice looks confident and aggressive. We look fairly disinterested. 

Extremely blasé attitude right now.  Team needs to get fired up

I can sort of understand when half your non/conf is in the top 10, you might not care much about Rice. But Rice cares a lot

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the OH hit the ball to the right of the MB. That was a wrinkle with Stafford hitting basically out of the middle with Bunton the decoy on the left side

Texas wins 3-1. Stanford on Sunday in Moody

PS, Gary is going to be an amazing libero next year when Halter is gone. No drop off

Stafford 23-2-44 for a cool .477 lol 

Bunton, Devin, Cari and Ames all north of .333. AVW was the slacker at .231

After only hitting .163 in set 1, Texas went bananas - .424, .516, .407

Fun atmosphere. About 60% longhorn fans.  
 

From game perspective, besides first set, lot of fun.  Takeaways were Swindle is much taller and more physical in person than I thought.  Stanford and Spears hit hard.  Bunton is slow  and doesn’t get up like everyone else around her.

I think Harvey could displace her by the end of the year - the problem is that she did not come to Texas early, like AVW and Spears did, so Bunton has the leg up on her.  She lacks reps, she lacks 6 months in a collegiate strength, conditioning and nutrition program her fellow classmembers got and she didn't have the same time to develop chemistry with Swindle. 

She's going to have to work extra hard if she wants to start by late October/early November.  But she was the #1 MB in her class, so it is not out of the question she could get there if she puts in the work and time. 

But if there was one thing Bunton was doing well yesterday was being a decoy - Bunton would approach from more of the OH angle/spot and the OH (Stafford) would attack the ball from the middle. I said yesterday that I had not seen that kind of play often from Texas in past years, so I think it is something Hunt and Josephson incorporated from the men's game.

Yeah I watched Bunton not jump once and setter took advantage of her laziness and scored and then another time with Dev on tandem block, she was good four to five inches lower than Dev.  Point being is as impressive as Swindle was in person, Bunton was the opposite.

Elliot should have cross trained Devin at MB, she’s 6’4 and it worked for YBG

Considering Texas and Stanford are sold out at Moody on Sunday, Texas needs to get an all-star tournament together in 2026 in Moody.  Don't feel like we've hosted one since the old school VERT

Get Nebraska, Wisconsin, Stanford, Florida and then Pitt or Louisville to come in 

Texas-Nebraska
Wisconsin-Stanford
Florida-Pitt/Louisville

Texas-Stanford
Nebraska-Florida
Wisconsin-Pitt/Louisville

Texas-Pitt/Louisville
Stanford-Nebraska
Florida-Wisconsin

Don't act that wouldn't generate a bajillion eyeballs and 3 days of Moody being sold out

I'm still pissed at my seats and what was available to the public.  I halfway want it to be empty just so I can feel justified in my crankiness.

UCLA at TCU on ESPNU now. 

TCU up 2-0. Not much of a hitting clinic right now, neither team above .154

Just swept them. Impressively. 

Gonna guess Kennedy Martin kinda pissed she transferred to Penn State just for her starting setter to quit the 2nd weekend of the season for her mental health

Maybe she should have gone to Wisconsin, in hindsight, or stayed at Florida 

Second season in a row she’s lost her starting setter and had to deal with a JUCO-level replacement. Stuckey last due to injury and Stark this year
