Calls us bearkats twice more but looks like someone said something to him as he just apologized for the error.

We are just playing sloppy.

Good season. Really sucks having UT 30 min up the road in volleyball.

This is what we get for having such a crappy social media presence. What happened between now and the conference tourney? It’s been a big-time dropoff... Apparently they didn’t even show up to tonight’s match until midway through the first set of the NCAA TOURNAMENT. Then the first tweet of the entire match wasn’t until the third set, and Janell was spelled wrong in a tweet. What is happening?!

Just running out of gas. Too many mental mistakes. Still proud of them.

This sucks. Really hoped that we would make it competitive.

How do we get over this hump? How do we win recruits against UT?

Beating them in a game like this.

I mean we weren't even competitive tonight. We didn't even look like we belonged. We actually played them better earlier in the season. It was just a bunch of sloppy mental mistakes.

I think it would have been more competitive if they played last night. They were just emotionally spent after winning their first tournament game ever.

Girls were just gassed. Daigle and Huskey used all their energy last night. Non factor tonight. We just don’t have the size. Props to the girls for winning and the legendary Coach Chisum, who’s program always wins something.

definitely didn't bring the game we needed to compete w/ a team like that. ut is just too big, too strong for us to not be on our a+ game. still, no shame whatsoever in going down to the national 5 seed, and a perennial power.

i couldn't be happier w/ this season. so damn proud of the team, and coach chisum for giving us a championship squad. such a fun team to watch, so so so many hitters, emily's masterful quarterbacking, a ton of fight. hard to ask for much more than that!

we're not going to. a vb recruiting class is typically only 3-5 girls, and they are fighting for the elite. we're just not going to overlap. vb mag:

in the last 10yrs, texas has been to 8 final fours, won 1 title, and finished 2nd 3 times.

that said, i'll argue that if emily was their setter, they'd be the 4 seed (at least) and hosting next weekend instead of going to provo.


it's not going to be by going through austin - as of tonight, they have made the sweet 16 thirteen years in a row. we have to host our own regional. get our rpi up into the early teens. we're close - just need to schedule a bit tougher, and win a couple more matches -- and i think that's doable w/ these young studs we've got for the next 3 years. i wonder what our rpi would have been if we'd have taken that lsu match, or heck, the kentucky one when they were coming off the ut match the night before. certainly don't think coach is afraid of scheduling those matches, but that likely means inviting tougher teams for our home tournament, which is definitely a risk.
