Yeah, no. Austin and Dallas aren't 60 miles apart. To make it seem like having the finals in Omaha isn't essentially a gift to Nebraska volleyball is just ridiculous. But sure, for the "sake" of semantics, it's in Omaha, where 98% of the arena will be Husker fans. I imagine if the finals were held in any of the major Texas cities, the B10 would cry. The finals were in San Antonio in 2011 but Texas failed to make it losing to eventual champs UCLA in the regional final. I think that is the year that made Coach Elliott think about resigning. Also Del Conte said they plan to host championships in the Moody Center so I assume they plan to bid on volleyball and/or women's basketball. For sure we'll bid.
But, how do win bid for a Final Four in the ticket sales department when our arena seats 11k, and the competitions' arenas seat 17k plus? NCAA won't like that revenue discrepancy.

So I'm a little bit confused. Is Parra going to Texas for sure or not?

So I'm a little bit confused. Is Parra going to Texas for sure or not? That is the million dollar question...no one really knows. All we know is she is enrolled in high school in Round Rock. Someone call unsolved mysteries please...ugh

Someone call unsolved mysteries please...ugh My guess is highly likely. We'll have to wait until Spring or summer school(?) is over to know. I guess this is how rumors start. One anonymous poster throws out a theory guess and others pass it along.

The crazy thing is, I imagine every other poster on here would absolutely freak out if Austin were to put up a bid to host the Finals. Granted, with the Erwin Center being demolished, there's not a large arena in Austin to host. I think Houston/Toyota Center would be a great host. The convention center is just a short walk away from the arena. The new Moody Center is going to be super nice! But it’ll be basketball season so maybe not. Will the Frank Erwin center just be demolished as a whole or will it still be used for different events that come through Austin?

So I'm a little bit confused. Is Parra going to Texas for sure or not? I would say it's a very strong chance. She packed everything up and moved here already. She is also going to school in round rock now im assuming to finish everything she needs to in order to become eligible. She was at all the texas matches during the tournament so I don't see what could possibly prevent her I believe she will be coming in the fall though instead of spring

Interesting 🧐 I didn't think about parra playing ds to serve and hit out the backrow🤔 I don't know lol I have been watching alot of matches with her in it and not just the one's that are highlights they are full matches that you really have to search for and when I say she is the real deal. The highlights don't even show half of what she can do. She is the best I have seen at tooling the block and getting a kill from bad sets or out of system plays and she can really elevate and hit over the block like skylar fields but her arm is very heavy and she is very smart about her shots as well as the placement of her serve which she rarely commits errors with. She is going to be a special player for us🤘🤘

Torn down for additional Dell medical center buildings. They built that complex very quickly. At one point, I counted something like 13 cranes in the same area building multiple buildings at once.

So we have one all american next year with Logan. (Yes Brionne and Shook are HM but still). That's a low number for Texas, just like 2019 honestly. I'm surprised either Fields or Gabriel didn't get HM. They're gonna be hungry for it next year.
