He gets it. Texas should never have another President who doesn't understand the importance of a winning athletic department to the university and its supporters.

And on top of it - 2009 was the first title loss for Elliot, in Tampa

That one was for Destinee Hooker! 

[OU Sucks 8,678]

Texas outscored Corn Aggy 43-15 after the horns down. They never learn.

I think this was the key to the season. 

The two transfers (Barnes and Wenaas) were almost unplayable to start the season. They become good players to end the year. Maybe it was the transition to a new team.

Barnes came in quite late too. Probably want to try to get transfers in at the start of summer to get a whole summer of practice

Franklin is a great player but nobody is taking her over Skinner in the NCAA tournament when it matters. 

[Underdog 28,231]

Just saw the header…. Congrats! 

[TexPx 2,307]

Nebraska will be the favorites with what they are returning but I definitely wouldn't count Texas out with Skinner, Halter, and Swindle returning. 
We have one of the best OH, best setters, and best defensive specialists in the country returning. 

A little help on the way. Smart move by Ayden to change her mind.

The best thing moving forward is we've now won B2B titles with a bunch of transfers. 

Every top tier transfer should want to play at Texas now. It's an easy sell.

John Cook’s entire postgame presser is whining about Texas being older bc of transfers and O’Neal having that national team experience over the summer.

He isnt wrong. But what a strange thing to complain about. He should be proud of his team and what they accomplished. They will be a tougher out next year.

He looked so beaten down when the interviewed him between the 2nd and 3rd set. He knew they had no answer for the Barbarians at the gate.

He called his first timeout in the 3rd set at 19-10. He absolutely just gave up by that point

Beyond being young they just look flat out intimated. 

Skinner and O'Neal were talking shit the entire match and staring them down. Nebraska didn't have the same fire. They just looked flat-out intimated. That's on coaching.

It is bc Nebraska has taken transfers too. Sun, Robinson, Hord, Beason.

O’Neal, Halter, Phillips and Swindle are all players we recruited and developed.

Seriously. If this were... many other opponents, I'd be sitting here genuinely feeling bad for what we did to them.

But they aren't. I feel nothing but joy for our team and schadenfreude for theirs.

[Rickylovesweed 14,087]

Harper Murray in particular was very animated to start and her demeanor almost completely flipped half way through the 1st set. 

I don't think I've seen anything like that. O'Neal and Skinner just intimidated those young players and they had no response.

horns down means the bull has his head down ready to run your ass over.

[Js1 83,685]

Texas was so close to flipping Murray and Choboy last year and Maggie Mendelson the year prior. Then we took Akana and Caffey and flipped Ames. 

I love our rivalry with Nebraska

I'm not a big John Cook fan, but he's a pretty good coach.  One of the best in the game.

Usually, when you see him, his teams are winning or at least close.  He has the same sort of stone-faced demeanor that comes off as smug and arrogant.

Murray is obviously very good but she's not that great out of system. 

In both final 4 matches she was shaky as hell without a good set. This is why we take for granted players like Eggleston who often had to dominate out of system. 

 

[SamMan 1,327]

LOL

[alphahydro 332]

swindle has that perfect stank face you wanna see in a QB/setter/PG

halter was the goat in the semis

skinner was a straight up cheat code today. 

[TwiceHorn 30,851]

It has been alluded to, but we've always had pretty much the best hitters in the game.

When you support them with top-notch DS and setter, look what happens.

Congrats to Elliott for making the changes.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 888]

I’m sure this has been discussed but our recruiting class is Ames and some pieces or it’s a great class? 
 

And hook em again! Let’s fucking go! Some football momentum, a natty, it’s been a good weekend to be a horn!

Oh noes O’Neil was fiery across the net and Elliot was pissed because the ref wouldn’t call the game right.  So outclassed. Sit down corn.

Skinner, Akana, halter, and Swindle all back. I’d imagine we’ll get portal starters to replace O’Neal and Wenaas. Why wouldn’t you want to come live in Austin and go for a 3peat?

That looks a lot like the dude that was throwing horns down next to Jermaine O’Neal during the broadcast 🧐 Simps gonna simp 🤷‍♂️🤣

Ames is really it. Maybe Ramirez the DS. But we also have Byrd and Bunton redshirting so basically it’s like adding them to the incoming class.
