2023 Texas Volleyball - Back to Back!

[Jive Turkey 12617]

get used to it Tennessee.  we're coming to your conference next year and we're gonna beat your ass there, too.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

What a win. Absolutely at the brink in 4 and came back. 

[Js1 85398]

17/18 Elite 8s. God damn 

[ATXbronco 4084]

lol his wire transfer finally came through

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1689]

Holy shit what a long game!

[BonzoMontreaux 1051]

Whew.

[Dahobbs 17625]

Thank God. I had to turn if off down in the previous set. Miracle come back. I turned it back on at 14-10. Immediately turned it off when Wenaas was stuffed. Almost fucked it up for everyone. Sorry. 

[Burt 4085]

Fucking replays were brutally long tonight!  Great fight back for the win, though!

[WBT 20614]

Never in doubt.  

Go devils

Skinner is HER. We are a very flawed team but will still be a very tough out for everyone because of how she plays at this time of the year.

Somehow the review process in volleyball is worse than soccer. 

Just be glad Kevin Mar didn’t make the trip. 
 

[Pato del Muerto 52524]

Tough win. 
 

can’t say I’m feeling too sporty about our chances the rest of the way.

The prior replay was utter bullshit. Tennessee was clearly in the net and the match was over. 

But y’all are welcome. I tuned in when we were losing in the previous set and we won the whole enchilada.

Next weekend needs to be the same strategy. 85+ swings for Skinner. 

Still true.

Best thing I can say - we usually play 10x better the next game. Wish these were back to backs but we get a day off. 

[Cairn Horn88 8274]

We were our own worse enemy, making a ton of errors….thankfully, we get to play another day.

These kind of grinding wins often make a team stronger. Let’s hope it does.

I think we have one more season of Skinner unless she does a covid season?
Fucking love that chica.

I hope we're able to meet up against Nebraska in the championship

Ideally, Arizona State will win tonight in a three hour, five set thriller

Needs to be the same strategy on Saturday. Ride your best player especially when you don't have a great OH2.

I didn't like this team very much.  Not sure why, but while conceding her skill, I don't like Madi Skinner.  Wenass, blah.  Disappointed with Phillips. 

I like Halter and Swindle though.

We miss Logan's leadership, among other things.

Nailed it.

Skinner is 15-1 in the NCAA tournament.

Neither are Stanford fans based on all the open seats.  So they usually play in the bball arena or a smaller gym?  Can’t remember from our last match out there.

They will show up when they play the Horns!

This is normally true with Wenaas. We got her atrocious match out of the way. She's normally better the next match. 

It seems with this team it's going to be "find a way to survive in the matches where Wenaas is fucking terrible."

Nope this is where they always play…it’s weird, I have watched them play at home this season against highly ranked teams (Oregon, Washington State, Nebraska, Minnesota, etc.) and they never have much of a crowd for how great a team they are

I have appreciated the DJ tonight, though. 

Heard about 15 different Taylor swift songs.

Az St wins first set over Stanford 25-22!

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Sun Devils take set 1 👀

[Rickylovesweed 14465]

Even if Stanford wins they’ve looked far from invincible in the last 2 matches. 

[Rickylovesweed 14465]

21-20 Stanford in the 2nd. It would be huge if ASU could find a way to go up 2-0. 

Edited December 8, 2023 by Rickylovesweed

[Rickylovesweed 14465]

Tied up. ASU might regret that set because it was there for the taking. 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Tree up 2-1 now.

Yep. And what did they call that gave the point to TN in the first place? Back row attack? Wasn't Ella front row at the time?

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Tree def. ASU 3-1. 

Texas @ Stanford on Saturday at 9PM Central on ESPNU

[shadow_operative2.0 16004]

Stanford in 4. 

[Rickylovesweed 14465]

Feels like the key will be if we get the decent Wenaas or the really bad Weenas. Need her to show up.

Maples atmosphere is ass. Don’t forget USD won the regional at Stanford last year. They don’t have the raucous home crowd to will them to victory like Gregory or Wisconsin or Corn

They decided the replay was “inconclusive.” It was clear as day. They just didn’t want to end the match on that call, IMO. So very Big12 of them. 

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

Seemed like that to me too.  Didn’t want lawyerball. 

[Js1 85398]

It was called an illegal attack because Emma made an overhand finger pass in front of the 10m line (ie, “set” it) and the ref ruled that Swindle touched/attacked the ball illegally on top of the net. The review was to determine if the net occurred prior to Swindle touching the ball, which would negate the illegal attack. If the Tenn player touched the ball first, then Texas had completed its “attack” and Ella touching the ball would have been legal  

Ella touched first - Tenn point

Tenn player netted first - Texas point 

Inconclusive or determine Tenn player touched the ball before Ella - replay the point 

They should have replayed the point but I would guess it was “simultaneous” so the call stood. You can’t actually review the location of the ball when Ella “attacked” it so it was solely going to be “was there a net prior to the violation or not”

Full range of emotions watching last night .. all made right by whomever decided to put the game in Skinner’s hands and GTFO her way. 🤘
