  1. I assume straight up means less tooling or tucking the ball in between the block and the net.
  2. That place is still there?!?
  3. Some of the score bugs gave him one of Amen’s 3s. It took a while to update after halftime
  4. Hey, let's ruin March Madness! I am tired of "rewarding" AQs with play-in bids. Let the opening round / play-in be the at-large teams who were awful in-conference (.500 or under records) and let the AQ teams be in the field of 64. Otherwise, get rid of the term "auto-qualifier" because they aren't qualifying for what the other AQs are.
  5. That does seem to be the case with Texas. I know there's volleymetric numbers about good block touch percentages (a touch that is dug and then converted to a kill), but I don't have access to those. I also think Stafford is one of our worst blocking OHs, maybe ever, but she does everything else so well. I went back almost 10 years in stats and I didn't see an OH who played as much as Stafford with a blocks per set below 0.30 and Stafford is at 0.29 right now. Personally, I'd take Stafford's backrow digs and her serving over an OH who blocks slightly better.

  7. This Tennessee match is going to be very interesting - their overall stats look really good (top 5 in hitting % and OPP hitting %) due to a weak schedule, while Texas his top 5 in hitting % and top 20 in OPP hitting % against the #1 SOS. In the SEC so far, Texas is hitting .354 and holding opponents to .170. Tennessee is hitting .312 and holding opponents to .222. I would say Texas had had a little tougher of an SEC schedule (OPP winning % 35-21 and Tennessee 24-19) Tennessee's serving game may not help them tomorrow - in SEC play, 5 aces and 31 errors. Texas is 12 and 23. Tennessee 14.36 digs per set in SEC play, Texas 14.42. Tennessee kills us in blocking: Texas 1.58 bps in SEC play, Tennessee 2.45 But again, Texas has been outblocked in almost every match this year and is still undefeated.
  8. The internet's current existence is to hate watch TV shows and comment about them. It's quite funny.
  9. *Stands still and watches Lawrence stumble, bumble and score* "Fluke play, we couldn't do anything!" Love that he said "WE" and not "I," considering he just stood there
  10. Week 5 was so fucking good
  11. Nice, uh… “tackle” attempt there?
  12. Stick to defense, feet bros
  13. Who you gonna believe, your lying eyes or Trump, the bastion of truth?
  14. Texas is also #1 in KPI, another metric the committee uses We have wins over 1/3 of the top 12 already
  15. Same. It was “fine” and I wouldn’t have paid money to go see it
  16. Yet another SEC (co) FOW award Texas’ Cari Spears, an outside hitter from Frisco, Texas, averaged 4.75 points and 4.17 kills per set and owned a .340 hitting percentage over a pair of road wins for the Longhorns. In Texas’ first sweep against Georgia, Spears hit .410 on a team-high 15 kills and also registered three digs, one block and one ace. In the sweep at Mississippi State, she recorded 10 kills, seven digs and a career-high two aces.
  17. Ah, here comes the retirement / farewell season. Or LeCryptoCoin
  18. This is true And DBK is a good coach, no doubt. But she is 0-2 in the finals as a HC. John Cook won 2 of his first 3 appearances (2000, 2006, with a 2005 runner up) She was handed a championship-caliber team in her first year, just like Cook was. He did take his first Nebraska team to a title. Can she do the same?
  19. Nebraska in B1G play - 4-0 (12-0 in sets) Michigan (home) - .380 / .108 Maryland (home) - .360 / .090 ranked PSU (road) - .437 / -.114 (wow) Rutgers (road) - .390 / .061 Texas in SEC play - 4-0 (12-0 in sets) Vanderbilt (home) - .446 / .153 ranked Missouri (home) - .313 / .250 Georgia (road) - .358 / .218 MSST (road) - .327 / .065 Both teams have absolutely killed their competition so far in conference play. But Texas hasn't done to an opponent what Nebraska did to PSU. That's like what a top 4 seed does to their first round opponent, let alone a ranked conference opponent (on the road!) Both will play a ranked team this week - Nebraska plays at #12 Purdue Sunday and Texas hosts #17 Tennessee midweek. The SEC will be a tougher test for Texas than the B1G will be for Nebraska, but I wouldn't say it is by much.

  21. 4 hours doesn't look like a long enough time for them to smoke your dog, but okay
