Parking recommendations around Gregory for the game tonight?   

Thanks in advance. 

[Eljefeweizen 34]

AT&T Conference Center. Grab a drink in Gabriel's, stroll to the game. See you there.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Thanks.

[Eljefeweizen 34]

The Brazos garage is closer, but you'll get caught up in post-game traffic nonsense.

[Js1 85311]

I hope we see more SKT tonight. Maybe a whole set. She had a nice dump kill, a nice block and a really athletic one handed set with her back turned to the hitter 

[Js1 85311]

25-16 set 1

[Js1 85311]

25-17 set 2

[TwiceHorn 31450]

I think Nalani is settling in a bit.  Hasn't been top competition, but her passes seem more controlled than earlier in the year.

Baylor and Tech going 5

LOOOOOOOL Baylor

[SATXHorn 90]

Baylor and Tech going 5

Tech beat Baylor in 5, in Waco. Wow.

Side note: maybe about 300 people there?

Eff Baylor (any other school I might feel bad for) but it's a Friday night, they are ranked in the top 10, haven't dropped a set in Big 12 play, etc. - and they can barely get 300 people there. Tbh 300 may even be a high estimate. Surely that many people dont travel with the football team for tomorrow's away game to be an excuse for low turnout.

Doesn’t sound like anyone is going to challenge us in conference. Elliot needs to get some national teams down here to scrimmage us

Now now. We do play twice in Waco. I wouldn’t say that yet. Bad loss by Baylor but they have the talent to knock us off

With 16 conference matches remaining, odds are we’ll trip on ourselves somewhere in there, but it probably won’t be due to the opponent playing at a super high level. With Covid still being a thing, it probably would be logistically complicated to bring a national team to Austin anyways 

[Js1 85311]

Good GOD - Texas picks up 2023 Jordyn Byrd. It’s almost not fair at this point what Elliot is doing  

OPP -6'4 Auburn Tomkinson 
OH - 6'4 Sydney Helmers
S - 6'2 Ella Swindle
MB - 6'4 Nya Bunton
OH/MB/OPP - 6'4 Jordyn Byrd

Also add in the front row player heights of the 2022 Class: 

MB - 6'4 Marianna Singletary

OH/OPP - 6'4 Devin Kahahawai (She looks like she has grown when standing next to team members on the U18 team that recently took bronze at the World Championship)

OH - 6'0 Kenna Miller

Texas will be good upfront for years to come.....now if we could only improve our ball control....🙃

[Js1 85311]

Aggy beat #20 Tenn. That’ll do

With that much talent, there will be attrition and the portal.  At this point, Elliot can load up on offense and go find a legit libero from the portal.

Fields was Offensive Player of the Week in the Big 12

Texas #1 in aces/set in the nation.  Eggleston and Parra are tied for #8 in aces.  Texas #3 in hitting %

 

This current back-to-back conference match format sucks - we get 2 matches a week, but it's a week between our last match and our next match.   Glad it will be ditched and go back to home/away in 2022.

13-15 KU. On ESPN+

[Js1 85311]

16-19 Texas TO. A little out of sorts - didn’t pound an overpass and let a free ball hit the floor

[TwiceHorn 31450]

Yeesh.

[Js1 85311]

Yeah we look asleep. 16-22

Big reason I hate the back to back format. Long off weeks

Yucky yuck yucky

18-25. Down 0-1

[TwiceHorn 31450]

WOOF.

[TwiceHorn 31450]

Damn, we're just awful.

[Js1 85311]

If the other team’s OH is going to hit it from behind the 10 foot line, just let it go over and play defense. Hate watching our block touch those and then our back line defense can’t get it up

We have no block today 

[TwiceHorn 31450]

Terrible first contact and every other contact.  Damn.

[Js1 85311]

15-14 Texas. Gonna be a grind it out day 

[TwiceHorn 31450]

Well first to 15  . . . 15-14.

I guess at some point we need to find out what happens if we go down 2-0 or 2-1.

Jhenna’s setting blows today 

[Js1 85311]

And every tip has been a point for KU
