Longhorn Volleyball

My only complaint about this game is we have to set other players besides Amy. Teams know we set her a lot so they set up a double block on her most every time with a pair of ladies well over 6 ft tall.

Here is how our big hitters did:

McCage had 5 kills on only 13 attempts w/no errors for .385 hitting %

Ogbogu had 9 kills on 18 attempts w/1 error for .444 hitting %

Yasmeen had 15 kills on 24 attempts w/1 error for .583 hitting %

Paulina had 19  kills on 47 attempts w/6 errors for .277 hitting %

McNeal had 25  kills on 67 attempts w/12 errors for .194 hitting %

We won and Elliot is a lot better coach than I could ever dream to be however I hope we spread the ball around more in the finals.

She's cute, to me she looks like an athletic Salma Hayek.

Baseball players know what they are doing

Chiaka Ogbogu just went to the locker room. With her out Minn just went on a 4-0 run to tie it up at 7s.

Anybody know what that's about? Is she seriously injured; will she be able to play in the NC game? I sure hope

she is okay and can be back for Saturday's game!

I belive she cramped up. Sounds like she will be fine for Saturday.

A buddy of mine called me this morning and has 2 tickets to the game Saturday night. Can you say road trip?

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Updates anybody?

 

[More Cowbell]

We were swept in 3 sorry to say.

That sucks. They must have read our mail when we beat them earlier in the season.

I was at the game. First off, major props to the Nebraska team, they were very good. Their libero was outstanding and their freshman OH hitter, who was the MVP of the championship game, was frigging phenomenal and a beast! Also have to tip my hat to the Nebraska fans and the Omaha folks. They were all very cordial before and after the game, way different than their fans who came to San Antonio when they beat us for the Big XII Championship (which was their only win against us in football while in the conference).

Regarding Texas, the ladies just made way too many hitting errors against a very good Nebraska team. They also had issues with their serves, serve receive and defense. They just didn't play like they did on Thursday. On the plus side, Yasmeen Bedart-ghani is only a freshman and I thought she had the best Final 4 of our girls. Cat McCoy will be even better next year and we also have some real good talent who didn't play due to injuries so we should be well.

Even though we lost, I still am glad I went. Our fans did us proud folks. Of the NCAA-record crowd of 17,561 announced crowd, I'd say we were the 561 and the rest was all Nebraska with a couple of Kansas/Minnesota fans. However while we were small, we were loud and sang the Eyes before and after the game loudly and with pride!

The ladies will have to play almost mistake free ball to win this game. You have to give Nebraska the edge but here's hoping for an upset by the Horns!

 

[MikeV73]

Horns win!

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Wow, that was a DOMINANT win. Sweep of the defending national champs. The team played tremendously!

 

[dillohorn]

Outstanding!
