BS. You were attacking the character of Eckerman and Collins and then lamely trying to use Sarah Palmer as your source of information.
Nope. Haley's the source and I said nothing about Chloe except she appears the same. So Haley told you she's mailing it in?
Keep digging.
And, "Appears the same"
No questioning character there!

Fair enough, although I tend to find elevation will attack no matter what. I could have said, "played vb with the girls and it was overheard HE was over college vb..." and I still would have been attacked. It's useless to put any effort in analyzing Texas because this board is toxic, and it comes from one source. I wish the moderator would do something about the garbage spewed from that keyboard.

You are not very good at playing the victim. I call you out because you are a Texas VB Hater. Your posts can be listed easily.
The bottom line is you attacked the character of Eckerman and Collins. And when called out, you lamely said you were friends of friends of friends of Sarah Palmer. I suggest you tell your "friends" you stated on VT that Sarah Palmer says Eckerman is mailing it in. That should go over well.

What do you expect from someone who quotes William F. Buckley? Even more curious is that he's a Texas fan at all; we don't get too many of his ilk down in Austin. Elevation's brand of crazy talk is a far more common occurrence up College Station way.
As far as someone purporting to know someone on a specific team, or to have heard something relating to an active player, is that surprising? I've always assumed that to be the case for most posters on this board. I actually prefer when someone is honest about their source/s; more often people post details that imply they have inside info, or know something others don't, yet fail to give any indication as how they came about the info they're putting out there.

Buckley? Take it to the politics board pal.
If you care to list your Longhorn credentials, proceed my friend.
If you are okay with attacking the character of our players, just say so. And a friend of a friend of a friend of a player is honest to you? Woo boy.

While I may not have liked SportBucky's statement, I don't necessarily think it impugns anyone's character. I would prefer that no one call out players, whatever the circumstances, but unfortunately that's an unrealistic expectation in an age of anonymous message boards. You have never been shy about criticizing Texas players by name, and if you think taking a student athlete to task for their abilities, or skill level, is any different than the type of observation made by SB, you are sadly mistaken. For someone to have made the types of posts you have on this board to suddenly portray yourself as a defender of anyone's character is an exercise in hypocrisy. Whatever your credentials you should realize your posts are more often a source of embarrassment for, and reflect poorly on, a program you apparently support. Of course that's just my opinion.

SportyBucky is a Texas VB Hater. He said specifically Eckerman doesn't care and has given up trying and attributed that accusation to her former teammate Sarah Palmer through alleged friends. Now if you support that kind of character attacks against a Texas player, that's on you.
Where you fail is that you associate my political beliefs on this subject. When you start off attacking my support of a William F. Buckley quote as some kind of proof / evidence I am wrong, you come across as very foolish and immature. You don't know what the political beliefs of the other posters are on this subject. For all you know, SportyBucky may be a staunch Reaganite which is immaterial to his hatred of Texas VB. Now following your example, can I say your hate of William F. Buckley is evidence of your liberalism and proves you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to Haley Eckerman and Texas VB? Sounds silly, doesn't it?

Can we move forward from this? Let's talk about Texas Volleyball please. Not about the value of character of posters on here.

My observations and critiques are based on objectively watching a team rather than blindly posting how great TX is. I find particular pleasure in tormenting you because you are so purely unpleasant and lack volleyball knowledge entirely.

From someone who has seen only a few pub clips of Texas vball this year (no LHN) I would say this is Eckermans fourth year with Elliot. What's new from him that hasn't been coached over three years? Got to be a problem with all seniors who start three years. I worry abot Stanford's class next year. Combined with starting the dog days of vball, and you can get efforts like this week. As the tourney approaches so will spirit and the dreaded Eckermans scoring machine.

But keep telling yourself that.
Enjoy your play day at the rec center with the gals.
