Texas just received a transfer from a 6'0 setter from the University of Utah.  Saige was the starting setter for the past 2 seasons and helped Utah reach the Sweet 16 this season.

Saige is going to bring lots of experience from playing in the PAC 12 as well as provide a bigger setter block in the front row.  We won't be seeing opposing hitters hitting over her like they have been with Jhenna the past 3 years. 

Hopefully, she quickly develops a good connection with all the Texas hitters, especially with setting Brionne in front and Asjia on the slide attack. 

Unfortunately, Morgan O'Brien has left the team to focus on graduate school...but maybe she reconsiders with everyone that is returning...she really anchored and elevated the backrow.

Anyone know when the non-conference schedule will be out?

Probably in the next couple weeks. I know we play Minny, A&M, Tree, ND, Arizona and Texas State. So far, it’s rather meh

I could have sworn our match against LSU on August 21st was going to be a scrimmage, but now it looks like a real match that will count? Just speculating here, but I'm assuming due to the rise in covid cases, they couldn't justify hosting a scrimmage at a neutral site in Houston, so they decided to make it a match that counts in Baton Rouge (which is currently a covid hot spot btw). 

Also, since it looks like we'll be dealing with covid again this year, it doesn't hurt to rack up real matches when you have the chance, just in case future matches get cancelled due to outbreaks.

Preseason top 25 teams on our schedule:

@RV LSU (8/21)
#20 San Diego (8/27)
@#7 Minnesota (9/1)
#21 Stanford (9/5)
RV Texas State (9/7)
RV Arizona (9/10)
#25 Notre Dame (9/12)
@#23 Rice (9/22) - MASSIVE DOOM
@RV Kansas (10/9-10)
@#10 Baylor (11/5-6)
RV Kansas State (11/18-19)
 

Not too bad.  (Currently) 3 top 10 matches, 7 top 25 matches and 14 matches against teams in the top 40.  All three top 10 matchups are on the road, which helps big in RPI, plus @ #23 Rice.

8 of our 10 non conference opponents are either ranked or receiving votes. That’s actually a solid schedule 

Yeah, it's actually a solid non-conference schedule if they all stay ranked or RV.  Tree and Arizona finishing in the top half of the Pac 12 would be helpful, as would Minny finishing top 3 in the B1G and ND finishing in the top third of the ACC.   Rice and SD should also win their conferences.

Anybody else get the errant email this morning from Athletics selling Texas Volleyball National Championship merch from 2020? I was extremely confused and did not think there was anyway my memory has gotten so bad that I forgot that we won a national championship last year. 

I clicked the link, and obviously there was no actual merch on the website, but the pictures are there on the email. Pretty good prank if they were hacked somehow. Wtf.

This will be my annual post bitching about the black court border though. 

You’re right, I did not miss the black court…but I have played on some weird colored courts, and I’m wondering if the black makes it easier to have line awareness bc the orange can sometimes blend a little into the wood court. 
 

anyone watching Baylor v Minnesota?? Pretty good match for early in the season
