2024 Volleyball: SEC, here comes Daddy

[Gut Wagon 8214]

We've moved past that mid-season pothole and are rolling. Stay healthy and focused and see where this goes. The other powers know we're still hard to kill. 

[Js1 86888]

SMU forced a fourth after winning 33-31

[Js1 86888]

Down goes SMU

[Js1 86888]

Baylor is out 

[shadow_operative2.0 16172]

Ducks up 2-1 on Frogs. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16172]

Ducks fly on. 

[WBT 20877]

If Wenaas can just hit over .600 from here on out I think we can 3peat

[Bodhi 1133]

Northern Iowa wins first set against Louisville (1-0).  

Edited December 7 by Bodhi

[Bodhi 1133]

Northern Iowa wins set 3 over #1 Louisville (2-1)

[Js1 86888]

20-20 in a fifth set 

UNI is scrappy 

Nvm, Cards survive 22-20 in the fifth 

[Bodhi 1133]

Louisville barely survives in 5th, 22-20

aggy is giving the Big12 champs all they can handle 

[Js1 86888]

Aggy beats Devils for Sweet 16

[Js1 86888]

Gata downs Jayhawks
 

Two of the 3 seeds lost. All SEC teams advanced from the 3/6 spot. 

[Js1 86888]

Friday noon against Creighton

[shadow_operative2.0 16172]

Well, that's a dumb time slot.

1-2-4-6

1-2-3-5

1-2-5-6

Corn has the regional with the most upsets. Texas is in the regional with the fewest upsets 

[Underdog 29084]

Back2Back tournaments that UK will have to play another SEC 3x after having beat them twice in the season to reach the EE. They were knocked off by Arkansas last season. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3586]

What do we think our chances are against Pedo St? They look pretty good and only have 2 losses this year. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16172]

Posted Saturday, hit play. 

[Js1 86888]

The computers and advance metrics have us a big ole underdog against Creighton, so definitely no looking ahead of Penn St

[Js1 86888]

yesssssssss Texas gets Paul Sunderland on pxp for this weekend.  And Missy Whitmore doing color and Shelby Coppedge sideline. 

[Js1 86888]

Mari and Madi are First Team All-Southwest Region
Rutherford was Honorable Mention

Ames is Southwest Region Freshman of the Year (Parra is the Southwest Region POY)

Typically you have an all-region team to be considered for All American honors. 

[Rickylovesweed 15304]

Wonder if this is somebody we take a look at. 

 

[Js1 86888]

Texas needs to look for a DS, an OH and likely a backup setter when/if Swindle is gone. And an OPP if Devin finally calls BS on Elliot making her a starter next year

I will have a big sad when/if Ella leaves 

[BevoBae 31]

Agreed, priority should be DS. We have so much pin and MB talent already here and top recruits coming in. DS/libero transfers are arguably why we won our 2 natties.

It will depend on what Elliot thinks. Ride with the youngins at the pins (well we have Devin and Whitney, but mostly AVW and Spears) and focus on a DS, maybe one with multiple years who can step in at libero in 2026, or do you start recruiting over your pins? 

[Mittens 8624]

Upset alert - Oregon up 17-9 on Pitt in the 4th. 5th set coming up unless Pitt unfucks themselves ASAP.

Alexander would continue our current “play at Gregory and then transfer to UT” pipeline that includes Akana, Fleck, Barnes

I really like Ulmer. I’d love to look at him when Elliot finally hangs it up. Because we aren’t getting Busboom Kelly, she’s literally getting the call 5 min before Cook retires 

[Js1 86888]

Going to 5!

I would be pretty surprised if we didn't hire Sullivan if Elliott ever retired.

If he wants the job, sure.  He's turned down a lot of HC offers.  

Also CDC may want someone with HC experience. 

But he's only 56.  Russ Rose coached until he was 68

Yeah, I would be pretty surprised if Elliott retired anytime soon. With NIL, he now has a major advantage in recruiting and the portal. 

He has a couple more titles in him.

[kingkoopa6 8593]

I be watching them huddle cam shots a lil longer than I should be. Haha 

[sunset87 253]

Need the block to show up. Absolutely no block touches.

[Js1 86888]

Every fucking Eastern European sounding libero just plays lights out against us

[Js1 86888]

Madi - what is you doing
