I don't really care as long as it's not Penn State, Stanford, or Texas. You have a 75% chance of being disappointed . . . More than 75%

You have a 75% chance of being disappointed . . . More than 75% There are four teams, he doesn't want 3 to win. Mathematically speaking, 75 percent chance. Skill wise, it's more like 90.

This poll should close on 12/18/2014 at 4 PM Pacific time..................again my mistake. 4 PM Pacific time 12/18/2014 is the start time of Texas/BYU match.

If anything, from this past weekend should tell us that on any given day, a giant can go down. All it takes is playing good consistent volleyball, and the other team not doing that. BYU earned their spot by dominating Nebraska. Hell, for a lot of the season BYU was in the top 10 as well. They aren't chump change. They have as good a chance as any to win. And if anything, they have been playing with a chip on their shoulder since the tournament began because they didn't even get a top 16 seed.

Yo, BYU beat Arizona AT Arizona; beat #6 seed FSU and then beat Nebraska.
One could argue they had the most challenging route to OKC.

Just about what VT's scientific poll did. 101 votes, BYU got 8.

A view of the floor from the BYU Twitter feed..... Just remember from the movie "The Blind Side" where the daughter gets a dig in the match and son chimes in something like "it's only VB mom, you didn't miss anything". Now, you have to admit, it was a little funny.

Stanford leading this AM...............now Penn St leading the way. This like a presidential poll....................up and down, up and down.
Nice looking floor but I thought the NCAA supplies it to the host.

I'm okay with the sport court and the TaraFlex(sp?). No messy basketball lines, very easy to see and, most importantly probably better for the players.
But isn't it odd that they try to make the plastic or composite or whatever that stuff is look like wood? What exactly is the point of that?

LHN will have Texas Game Day at 5:30 before the 6:00 match. Sarah Palmer will be in the studio with host Lowell Galindo. Jane Slater is in OKC and will be presenting interviews, etc.

If it's a Texas vs stanford final, I'll be happy with whoever wins. I said from the begining that I hoped it was going to be one, and it looks like my dreams may come true. Good luck to every team though.

Looks like BYU/Texas and Stanford/Penn St are toss ups according to Volleytalk.
