  1. I know I’m not going to find anything “close”. The traffic/commute information that has been posted is helpful though. Looking at under $700/night. We’ll figure something out. Probably spend some time in traffic.
  2. Yeah, I need to check the Vrbo market because everything that’s close to LA CC is mostly booked or outrageously priced. What about going south of LA CC, is that bad traffic/area? And your info (bad traffic, etc…)is what I need, because I have no idea…
  3. Thinking about booking the Roosevelt. Most of the other suggestions that have been given are either already booked or +$1,000/night. I haven't checked the vrbo market yet. Should probably do that before I decide anything. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and help. If you have any more please respond.
  4. We are going to the US Open golf tournament, being played at LA Country Club in June. Anyone have any suggestions on places to stay relatively close to that area? Or maybe better yet, places not to stay.
  5. From my perspective, one of the most improved aspects for this team was the ability to score out of system. I felt like a lot of that was attributable to SKT's ability to put up solid sets in those situations. Obviously it helps to have hitters like Logan and Madi to make you look good. I guess my main frame of reference is what I've seen the last several years from UT and their opponents. I just thought SKT did a much better job of giving our hitters a chance compared to what we saw from Gabriel or Shook (not saying much, I know). You have probably watched a lot of other teams play and have a better feel than I do. If you are a setter on a top ten team you better be able to set well in system, not sure you're playing if you don't.
  6. I think the biggest question mark will be at setter. SKT did a great job covering the court and putting up out of system balls where the hitters could get a swing. The front row should still be very strong. Of course losing Fleck will be huge, she isn't replaceable just like Logan. Halter is going to be a demon. With a NC under her belt and the added confidence, I think she just keeps getting better and better. Add in the transfer Barnes (whom admittedly I don't know much about) and maybe the back row doesn't drop off too much.
  7. Millions,blasting ?? Hyperbole much... H2SO? Sulfuric acid?? Okay. There's multiple disposal wells owned by different companies in the area of that earthquake. I don't know how you can tell which one/ones are responsible. However, I guess you could try suing all of them. Wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens.
  8. Finish on an ace, fucking beautiful!
  9. In system…choke Louisville out!! And fuck these Louisville and corn fans.
  10. Service game clicking now. Logan is on a mission.
  11. I hope Texas dominates, but Louisville is going to be tough. Louisville has a lot of really good athletes up front that will give Texas some trouble, especially their block. We have to recognize their back row attacks and get a solid block up. I would love to see us give them some of their own medicine and have Madi and Logan attack them a bunch from the back row. The key is probably our ability to serve tough without too many service errors. Keep pressure on their serve receive. Their back row defense is good but I think Texas's is better. Definitely need to start faster, don't want to drop the first set and give them momentum. They recovered well against SD but hate to play with fire.
  12. Louisville looks pretty tough to me.
  13. I thought Akana’s passing was considerably better tonight. I was impressed by SD serve receive. They didn’t seem to be out of system much compared to most teams we’ve played. The Texas block was giving them trouble even when they passed well.
  14. I saw Randi coach several times back when she was the head volleyball coach at Wolfforth Frenship high school in Lubbock. At some point I found out she was dating Beard when he was coaching at Tech. Based on my observations and things I heard, those two are a lot alike, volatile, intense, and fiery. I kinda thought at the time that they would make an "interesting" couple. Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that shit could go sideways with those two, especially if alcohol was involved, and at that time of night, probably a pretty good chance.
  15. Opponents are going to target Akana and Skinner(already have been) on serve receive. They better figure out a way to clean that up. I’m not sure Akana’s serving is good enough for the trade off. I guess we’ll find out. Their out of system setting/hitting was off last night for some stretches. Way too many tips. That will have to be better to win the next two. I like our chances against SD, we’ll see after that.
  16. Logan went beast mode tonight. Nice to be in Omaha without corn.
  17. Completely fell apart in every aspect in the second part of that game. Hope we didn’t just give OSU a ton of confidence there.
  18. Not getting swings… SKT and hitters are way out of sync.
  19. Service errors also taking away momentum.
  20. I thought Asjia was a little off yesterday. Especially with her slide. I think it may have gotten in her head a little bit. She did get the last kill of the match so hopefully she got all that out of her system.
  21. Yeah, the Dutch were sitting back waiting for the ball to cross midfield and time after time took it away with ease and flew up the pitch on dangerous counters. They really made it look too easy.
  22. I think this stat is a bit misleading since both of these guys scramble, use their legs to buy time to make throws/plays. More dual threat type guys. One of my main issues with QE is that he doesn't make much of an attempt to extend plays by moving in the pocket or scrambling. He bails on plays to soon IMO. I know he is a traditional drop back passer but the better ones in that category still buy time by moving around in the pocket to try and make something happen. Seems like a little more fire/competitive spirit would be good to see from him. He's just a freshman so he might need more time and experience to feel comfortable trying those things, but honestly I think that is just who he is.
  23. The media/environmentalists have done a good job of turning the word “frac” into a real boogeyman. Like has been mentioned many times already the quakes are being caused by the huge volumes of water being disposed into deeper reservoirs that contain dormant fault systems. If the disposal wells are injecting into the deeper horizons they run the risk of being in area where these deeper horizons are located in a fault system area. Not all deep disposal is located in faulted areas. As a result of the increased pressure and possible "lubrication" from water disposal some of these dormant fault systems can be slightly reactivated resulting in the earthquakes being seen. This is a direct result of the exponential increase in production of oil, gas and water from horizontal drilling, mostly from shale reservoirs, that has taken place in the last 5+ years. And yes these wells have to be fraced to produce in commercial quantities. It’s really a large scale manufacturing process now. The water disposal issue is a very hot topic now and is being studied in depth. I think we will see less and less earthquakes moving forward. But they won’t completely stop. My bigger issue is the amount of water disposal taking place in medium depth horizons, which typically are not faulted. This is wreaking havoc in the oil field, causing the loss of legacy vertical wells. Major water flows while drilling new wells and holes in casing to existing wells as a result of the huge volumes of water being disposed in an amongst existing wells, have become a real problem from my experience. If you are on the wrong side of the horizontal game in the Permian (raises hand) as an operator, you're kind of fucked.
  24. Haven’t seen any back row sets in this match. SKT seems a little off tonight.
