New member here! Seems like as the WAC has been, well, decimated the last few years there isn't as much fan interaction. I started watching NMSU volleyball back in the days of the WAC of 6-8 years ago. Getting to see Hawaii, Fresno State, Boise State, etc were fun and our program definitely benefitted in the old WAC. Just wish we could have beaten Hawaii a few more times. Always seemed like when we would get up a set, or have them right where we want them Hawaii just turns it on and makes a comeback. Last year was a bit of a disappointment. Went to the Hawaiian Airlines volleyball tournament and NMSU lost in straight sets and didn't really look competitive, the Stan Sherriff center is an amazing place to watch a game though, really enjoyed the Hawaii fans. They were real nice even though I was the only NMSU fan in a sea of green.
Any fans of any current WAC schools here?
I didn't see a welcome thread for new members so here is a bit about me. My team is New Mexico State obviously, favorite sport is soccer, but volleyball is second. Volleyball is by far my favorite college sport. I casually follow all the other NMSU teams but volleyball is definitely my favorite. Comes in second to the US national soccer team though.
Last year was a first for me volleyball wise, I started traveling to some of the games. Flew to Honolulu for the tournament with Hawaii, UCLA, and Santa Clara, and the WAC tournament in Phoenix. This year have trips lined up for Seattle U, Utah Valley, and Grand Canyon, and possibly the NCAA tournament game. I travel to US Soccer games and started to catch the travel bug so decided last year to expand it to my favorite college team. I am sure I am not the only one that travels to games, I am also a member of the flyertalk message board, as a matter of fact my flights to Seattle, Orem, and Phoenix are all paid for with miles and points.
Since college volleyball doesn't get the media attention like football and basketball, it is nice to find places where I can get my volleyball fix. Looking forward to chatting with other like minded volleyball fans and another volleyball season, only a month and a week until the alumni game!
