anyone knows how far is usc and pepperdine to Irvine? Pepperdine is about an hour's drive, and USC about 30 minutes, roughly and without much traffic.

So ocsports will be up there with its crew.....1:45pm HST game on pregame show to start things off on Thursday. They mentioned Ryan Tsuji will be there. I also recall some time during the match, Jim Leahey saying Kanoa Leahey will be at Irvine too.

Replace Jennings this set So how are you related to Alex Jones? You are always begging for him to play. Jones' is not that good. Just goofy and sets a basic slow ball. Your criticism of setter Franciskovic seems suspect. Looking at the box score, Franciskovic had 41 assists, 2 aces, and 4 blocks.

Not convinced this team can beat the Waves... Pepp has improved since the last time these teams met IN HAWAII...

So lets get this straight.....because I ask to put in Alex during parts of Hawaii's play where they look like they are simply playing through the motions and lacking enthusiasm...That I am somehow now related to him? Get a grip. Everytime I suggest to bring in Alex are at parts where Hawaii seems to be lagging and I know Jones will rile them up. He got the crowd going too. This team goes off of emotion...you can't deny that.

a big emotional win, for sure, for the warriors ... and it provided some nice drama for the crowd to really get into it. i wasn't able to go, but like senior night a couple of weeks ago, i'm sure that the stanley was rockin!
and the warriors showed tremendous poise to grind out the comebacks in sets 2 and 3.
it's awesome to see that the warriors can comeback like that. but at this stage of the season, they can't always be playing from behind.
if hawaii plays coming from behind against pepperdine in the next round ... well, that just won't cut it. pepperdine is too good of a team to let an 8-point deficit disappear on them.

Lets just hope we can have the next 4 matches in which Hawaii has all of their hitters "spot on".

This team goes off of emotion...you can't deny that. In their defense, I think too many people assume it's a setting issue when it's very far from that. Hawaii should never have to make that change to keep the pins from playing lazy. They need to be mentally attuned the entire match, and that's something we know Hawaii has struggled with. As simple as passing and hitting smart, particularly off of 1 or 2 options sets. You should not have to sacrifice as much as Franciskovic brings simply because we require a spark and a wake up call in the other facets of Hawaii's game. Yeah, Jones is good at being goofy. But we saw what happened at BYU, making the change hurt us far more than it helped. I see people jumping onto that Jones band wagon a bit because he's goofy and a good talker and the rest of the team are good at pulling themselves together when that change is made, but it's a bit unfair to Franciskovic, to invalidate what he's accomplished with this team simply because there's a perceived need to fix an energy issue with the pins that should never be a problem in the first place.

Get a grip. Everytime I suggest to bring in Alex are at parts where Hawaii seems to be lagging and I know Jones will rile them up. He got the crowd going too. This team goes off of emotion...you can't deny that. You didn't answer my question. Are you friends or family with Jones? Do you have a personal relationship with him? You are obviously a very big fan of his. And the way you continue to dish on Franciskovic -- Your comments sound personal. Hawaii got very, very lucky last night. I think the problem with the team right now is coming from the senior leadership. It seems like some of them may have already checked out and looking ahead to the next things in their life. Why do you need a clown, who most people agree is not that good at setting or serving, to fire you up. The "All Americans" Averill and Sedore should be able to bring more positive energy on their on. So instead of crying for Jones to set, why don't you put some blame where it belongs: on those two. Since this team was named #1, Averill has be playing at half speed and Brook is very distracted. When the hitters are playing "flat", they are frequently just moving slow, late to the ball, and then hit straight into a single block. Jones has sometimes bailed them out with slow, basic high set. But that combination won't win a championship. So when your yelling for Jones, I'm yelling for the hitters to step it up and start playing with purpose. Or how about pointing out that the UH libero is way too quiet. Have heard lots of hate on this site directed to the BYU libero for being a clown. So should the UH libero bring more on-court energy? Doesn't seem like he says a word out there. The UH backup is much more animated. so why don't you call for him to come in? I personally think the key to victory is strong, steady focus, playing with purpose and energy. and hustle -- not acting the fool. Crowd cheerleaders belong on the sidelines. You won't see Irvine or Pepperdine resorting to bringing in a clown to bring up their energy. They will just pound you to death with their best guys. That's what makes me worried for Hawaii. Ultimately, after watching jones post game impromptu interview last night, along with his various others, I'm thinking that Jones' passive aggressive antics toward the other setter may actually hurting the team. I don't like people who try to tell you how great they are by tearing down a teammate. And I've heard him dish on Franciskovic. Not very classy. IMO, while Jones has had some value this season in a supporting roll, if he was the starter, this team would not have made playoffs. Additionally, I don't enjoy watching his style of game play, the way he sets, and how he struts around. It usually turns into ugly volleyball.
