Our incoming transfers have been AAs too so it’s just high talent moving around looking for fit and probably money. 

We aren’t so high and mighty about it though

We only bemoan the portal use by JE when it doesn’t work out - Carlson mostly, but also Wenaas. We’ve also lost players, such as Sun, Parra, Singletary. Works both ways

Texas fans fully embrace what Skinner, Fleck, SKT, Barnes and Stafford have meant to us. Throw in Bergmark and Gary too

3 seed Creighton takes down 2 seed ASU, 3-1 

ASU looked really meh today, and I didn't get a sense it was entirely because of the team across the net.

Would love to see Cal Poly rise up against Kentucky. Knocking them off obviously would be a jaw-dropper, but a guy can dream.

That Cal Poly girl’s serve is an absolute rocket. 

Too bad she hasn't been able to go on a run with it the way she did against USC, but it's mighty impressive.

I don't think the SEC was particularly impressive outside of the top 3 teams. In some ways it was downright awful.

But I'm so glad we're not in the Big 12 any more. ASU was their flag bearer, and they might as well have been playing in a mid major conference. Fitting they lost to Creighton - who is a solid team, for sure. 

That match against Kentucky in the SEC championship game might have been the best volleyball match I've seen all year. I know we lost, but we were challenged, and I feel like we came out better for it. Same with Kentucky.

Press conference prior to the Indiana match. I have to say other than Elliott putting the NCAA on blast for their decisions regarding the replay cameras and the news that there's a soft expectation for 2029 for the new volleyball arena, this was an awful press conference. Thomas Jones, bless his heart, asked every question. No one there knew anything about the Indiana team. Torrey Stafford wasn't asked a question, really. You'd never know she's a leading candidate for National Player of the Year based on that press conference. 

The media coverage this program receives is such a disappointment. Someday I hope we get someone who actually knows something about volleyball who regularly covers the team.

You should do it. We all know that you can type a lot of words.

Playing in front of dozens of their friends and family.  I get that it's 11pm local and the hosts aren't playing but it still kind of sucks.

I was impressed by how many people showed up early at Gregory last week for PSU-USF but I'm sure it will empty out tomorrow after the horns play first.

Totally blew that 3rd set. Still a nice season.

Yeah SMU rarely lives up to their seeding. They're going to be upset early again it looks like.

Okay? That was our first sweet sixteen in program history. Moving in the right direction.

Go look at the list of pro players whose daughters are playing or played NCAAVB. It’s been noted more girls are going for volleyball due to fewer injuries than basketball 

Spears

Skinner

O’Neal

Duncan

Ewing

Booth

Jurevicious

Rondo

Steph’s daughter plays here in the Bay as well.

That's going to be a new McCombs graduate diving all over the floor in a few hours.

 

 

Second to last time in Gregory, assuming we beat Indiana.

I'll miss her as much as any player we've had in volleyball. Among any player we've had at UT. She's been such a joy.

I don't know if everyone saw the senior day recordings Texas posted, but Emma's dad couldn't have been more complimentary and more grateful for the experience his daughter had. You could just clip his comments and send it to the parents of every recruit and we might not miss on another recruiting battle. Not that we miss on all that many as it is.

Man, the single worst thing about a successful women’s sport is the dumbshits that join late.

I don't know exactly how to compare, but I think it would be worse to have a family member on a team that the fan base thinks isn't performing up to their standard. 

I'll always remember in the 90s on the GoBig12 board John Mackovic's son posted regularly. He attended UT of course, so there was an affiliation beyond his Dad being the head coach, but obviously that's where his loyalties were. I told him pretty early on I wasn't sure that was the best place for him to participate. When things got ugly and he was constantly trying to defend his Dad, it was extraordinarily awkward. 

But yeah, I wouldn't want to read about all the sexual activities an anonymous person would like to carry out with a family member. Especially a daughter. Nieces, too. On some level, I don't even like them having boyfriends. I'm constantly wondering at what point am I going to have to murder them for not treating my daughter/niece right.

So…all aggy has to do is beat #2 Louisville….then #1 Nebraska to make it to the final 4…..I don’t see that happening.   We have to take care of business.  Lots of good teams still out there.
