3-0 - SU. I mean, DAVIS took a set from them, plus were very competitive, in a match on UofA's home court. The 'cats remind me of UCBerkeley: creampuff OOC schedule

I figure 99% of people feel the same way as you. That's why no poll is included!  hehe

Wondered about that (poll-less)! Sidebar: don't get me wrong, I am an Aggie-alum (an SU grad-alum too). I was quasi-following the UCD-UA match, hoping for a REAL upset. Came close. Go Ags!!

Nitpick: it is Noon PDT, not PST.

For what it's worth- as best I recall, that last Arizona win at Maples was when Stanford abandoned the 6-2 offense and handed things over to Grey, never to look back.

For some reason I thought Standard Time began once summer ended, which would make this Sunday PST. I see am wrong. Thanks for the correction.

You haven't "called it", so I'm guessing you, like me, lack evidence ... I have no clue how good AZ is because I haven't seen any video. Their schedule tells me very little.

It's the first sunday after the fifteenth Tuesday of the ninth month that doesn't end with "q", or something like that.

Nah, it's being played at 12PM Stanford time.

Will the fans show up since Stanford's football team won a very exciting game over the university of Oregon in overtime? Go Card!!! Nerd Nation

[Cruz'n]

The volleyball parking lot is full, but not many people inside Maples. Must be a lot of other events going on.
