It is too bad that the injuries are serious for the Longhorns. I hope all the players can make a full recovery.

Quietly because they play no one of value in conference play. Continuously bashing this conference really gets old. Why not just say Texas is good and leave it at that. So sick of hearing everyone in this conference sucks besides Texas. Kansas is ranked 12th AND are 15-0, while ISU is RV. Kansas has wins against Arkansas, Gonzaga, Wyoming and Duke. They are a very solid team. Iowa State has a win over then ranked opponent Texas A&M, took Nebrasa to 4 with Nebraska taking 2 of the sets only by 2 (23-25, 23-25) and did take Texas in one set to 26-24. K-State took a set off Wisconsin and took both Arkansas and Creighton to 5. And when Texas goes to Kansas and Iowa State this year, I don't think that these are gimmies or going to be cake walks. While this conference isn't the "high an almighty B1G or Pac-12" give it a rest about the Big 12. This conference consistently sends 4-5 teams to the tourney every year. "No one of value" Praise Texas all you want, they deserve the credit as they are very good, but quit bashing the conference. So 3 teams are good and 6 are average? You just gave the definition of a lousy conference. And when you write that a team took Nebraska to 4 that is fairly weak. The Big 12 is not a good volleyball conference. To think otherwise is not facing reality.

Damn boof.......F*cking up the Texas thread again! Don't expect Nwanebu back this season and as mentioned last night White is being red-shirted. Still have talent to go far, but it will be tough to go all the way. Sometimes when your back is up against the wall and you don't have hope things sometime just come together and everyone steps up and surprises you. Big picture - red shirting White is best for the program. The team has the potential to be very good next season and beyond. Very good.

PSU is done once Countney and Whitney graduate. Stick a fork in them! they're done.

"No one of value" Praise Texas all you want, they deserve the credit as they are very good, but quit bashing the conference. We all have our own opinions. Play in the big or pac and they are not top 4 seed every year. They have that benefit of not playing there . Never said they wernt good team. Just don't see them as a consistent top 4 team if they play in one of those conferences I was referring to the line that while everybody was beating everybody else up Texas was quietly going about their business. Of course it's quiet because they are not playing anyone that the rest of country is excited to see play. Boof is just jealous because Tex won +16pts over Nebraska while PSU was just embarrassed by them... At home.

PSU is done once Countney and Whitney graduate. Stick a fork in them! they're done. Psu is never done. Sure they are not going to win a national championship every year. They will always be competitive and a team at top portion of big like they always have been. Regarding Texas, wasn't insinuating they wernt good. Just responding to the statement about Texas going quietly about their business. Stating in my opinion why it's quiet. Being quiet means not get attention. Not getting attention because they are not playing any big time matchups in conference. If they were going head to head against some of this big or pac schools they wouldn't be able to do it quietly. That's what I was trying to express.

Enjoy your 2015 of being in the top 5 but not winning!

Win a few more before you start telling me what to enjoy because I enjoy a lot. Lol

As long as RR is at PSU, with his recruiting machine in place, they will be favorites to make final four every year, and often a favorite to win NC. It doesn't matter who graduates. They reload every year.

PSU is done once Countney and Whitney graduate. Stick a fork in them! they're done. Don't think I would ever feel confident saying Penn State is done . . . Just a hunch, but I doubt Rose has suddenly lost his touch bringing in the type of players he has traditionally brought into his program. But at this point, I really don't care about the future strengths of Penn State, Nebraska, etc. I believe Elliott is building a very balanced team at all positions that will strongly compete for national championships for years to come.

Quite a bit of talent still in Happy Valley next year. OH Frantti and Lee MB Washington and Thelen OP Reed S Weiskircher L Holcomb Is this next year's lineup? I didn't realize it had been announced already. Seems odd to have this figured out before knowing what Friday's lineup will be. I also hadn't realized that Reed is an opposite.

That is a projected lineup in my opinion for next year. Next time I won't give my projection as it obviously has hurt your feelings or made you very upset for some reason. 2.) No, it hasn't been announced yet. I'm not sure if any lineups have been announced by Coach Rose. I thought PSU is trying to win the 2015 National Championship?

I thought PSU is trying to win the 2015 National Championship? I don't no what you are talking about. The comment I responded to was about next year. PSU will try to win national every year as long as RR is at the helm. They might not win every match but you can bet by the tournament time, PSU will be ready.
