2020 Texas Volleyball (Hopefully)

I find it hard to believe that in today’s world, there’s not been an uprising amongst the Top AD’s in the country to contact or organize an well funded PE Firm to essentially “buy out” the NCAA. 
Any institution that has had legislation “impressed” upon them by the Fed Gov for what is essentially unfair treatment of women (historically and as recent as 30 days ago!) should be “de-funded”.

Ha, they added announcers for the first two rounds after the bitching. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Yeah if they weren't even going to try to make the bubble halfway decent they should have just allowed regional sites for the first few rounds.

[Js1 87214]

Our second round opponent will be determined Thursday at 6pm.  Rice plays right after.

disagree.

Wright State swept Samford. We face them tomorrow. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Wright State only has 1 loss just like us. Key is to not give them early hope.

[Js1 87214]

WOW!

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

So.....what was the point of having a "bubble" again?

[Js1 87214]

Same thing happened to VCU in the NCAAT. It was the only incident the whole tourney.

Apparently JE said in his PC that teams were basically allowed to do what they wanted on off days. It was a “soft” bubble. Likely just to avoid travel around the country and get around schools who weren’t allowed to have or allowing fans ($$)

Texas was basically quarantining so far. A bunch of teams went to the Omaha Zoo.  Gotta respect JE not risking it - it’s a business trip, not a vacation.

Baylor down 2 sets to 1 to Pepperdine

[perfectchaos007 6780]

I knew that one had upset potential. Most California volleyball teams are dangerous

Baylor survives

[TwiceHorn 32087]

Baylor advances 15-10.  I think I would like them to take out Nebraska.

[Js1 87214]

Baylor won.

They are hot and cold.  Would be nice if they are hot for that game. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Maybe TXST can take out Nebraska! Lol

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Well nvm. Corn is destroying the bobkitties

[perfectchaos007 6780]

2nd round has been all chalk so far. Decent chance for All 16 seeds to make the 3rd round. 

[TwiceHorn 32087]

Yes ESPN, I am ready to fucking watch you jackholes.

Fuck I hate them.

[Pancho 46346]

So I can’t even watch this when I have the ESPN+ package?

Yeah, I’m always able to watch ESPN3 thru the ESPN+ subscription and app on my tv.  Now it’s saying “this content isn’t available for your package or region.”

[Js1 87214]

I couldn’t watch with my ESPN+. Had to log-in with a TV provider

15-7 Texas at the media TO

[TwiceHorn 32087]

Do we have Morgan another year?

[Js1 87214]

How confusing hearing the whistle on the second court

It's really annoying.

[Js1 87214]

I like how WSU didn’t use a timeout at all.  A big ole “fuck it”

25-12 Texas set 1

[TwiceHorn 32087]

We're fuckin around.  We better not find out.

[Js1 87214]

Was waiting for the first mild freak out post bc it was 5-5

[Pato del Muerto 53548]

Why are we playing on a Nebraska marked court?

My understanding is they borrowed 4 Taraflex courts (2 from Nebraska, 1 from Creighton and 1 from UNL-Omaha) for the convention center floors and will go to the neutral NCAA woods courts in the regional round

Exactly who is it that you think is in charge of the ncaa?

Quote

The NCAA is a membership-driven association and is governed by more than 150 committees with almost 1,500 committee members from NCAA institutions and conferences.

http://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=BOARD

https://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=1PRESFORUM

So your idea is that athletic departments are going to usurp an organization led by the presidents of their own universities? The NCAA is the way it is today because that's the way the universities that comprise it want it. Its not some 3rd party organization imposing its will on helpless universities.

Mark Emmert serves at the discretion of the ncaa board of governors, who appoints the president. I'm guessing that for the most part Emmert does what the presidents of the member universities tell him to do.

Yep, that appears to be correct with the other three games going on right now.

[Js1 87214]

I respect this Wright St coach not calling a single TO

25-16 Texas. Up 2-0

[SDG 3336]

So do we finish them in set 3?

4-0 Texas and WSU calls their first timeout of the whole match 

[TwiceHorn 32087]

Glad to see Molly getting some work.  Probably need to work in Srta. Parra too.

[Js1 87214]

Sunderland is trying soooo hard to hype up Wright St. 

[Js1 87214]

12-5 Texas
