  1. Someone in Reddit said “Congratulations on your first 11 win 8-4 season.”
  2. It’s not a bellybutton, it’s a Schrader valve.
  3. Wow. That was my original design way back. If you guys need the original file I might still have it around.
  4. He still has a chance with the Volleyball game tomorrow.
  5. Dark Horse Heisman Candidate right there.
  6. Steph’s daughter plays here in the Bay as well.
  7. Yeah. Those serves were crazy. It honestly looked like a men’s team serve. I think she had a 6 point streak in the final set.
  8. My brother had that poster hanging in his room too. It’s so obnoxiously funny.
  9. I reflexively scrolled down and… that was it.
  10. Yeah. Watching good float serves from the general perspective of the receiver is crazy. The ball shifts around in the air in an unpredictable way.
  11. Not Texas Volleyball related but we seem to have some very knowledgeable folks on here about the game. What would you say is the most effective serve for a player to learn? My daughter is playing 14U this year. Her serve has developed a lot over the last two years. 2 years ago she could get the ball over the net about 5% of the time from the service line and those would be dribblers that tape. Now she can consistently get hard serves crossing the net within 24” from the top of the net and landing deep (25’ or so). She’s been working on spot serving and trying to learn both Float and Topspin. Her placement right now is pretty darn good. She can hit corners and lines within 18” or so with some velocity. But Float has been challenging for her to learn and frankly I don’t know that she jumps high enough for Topspin to be really beneficial. But what skills do you guys see as most beneficial at this level? Jump? Float? Topspin? Short? Placement? Low to the net? I know they’re not mutually exclusive but just factors that she’s been working on.
  12. As an Advertising Creative, it's terrible. But I love seeing it for them. Hope they got paid well.
  13. Why are their passes the some of the loudest hits? The serves didn't seem that fast and they're playing off their platform.
  14. What world do we live in now that the Sparty coach is getting paid a $31mm buyout? That's nuts.
  15. Some smart kids are going to graduate from Texas with OU never having scored a TD during their tenure.
