OK SoCalFan, I'll cut the "political BS".
The highlight of the match was the "Northridge Bunnies " (aka CSNU Womens Volleyball Team) on the sidelines. Those girls were "HOT". They were giving the Hawaii players fits with their "bumps" and "gyrations". I loved the way they moved to the music in the gym - it was giving me a 'viagra rush'. I was sitting with Beckwith's Dad, and we both agreed that the burnett with the stars and strips thin halter top and royal blue loin cloth was our favorite. His wife thought we were a couple of dirty old men - Oh, to be 21 again. One Hawaii player told me that between games they'd leave the gym and came back even more loaded. You could smell the tequila on them, said one Hawaii player. But this Hawaii player said this was the best group of hecklers/fans he's seen all season. We got USC womens volleyball team on Monday and Tuesday on the sidelines, and they're are a bunch of dawgs - bow wow, said one Hawaii player. The Northridge women were good looking.
OH WAS THERE A GAME LAST NIGHT?? All I saw was a bunch of Matadors digging everything Hawaii could give them. I can't decide between Sharader (UCLA) or Doug English who is the better libero. The Matadors covered very well and was always in position for the ball. They served unbelieveably well all night. I talked the Nils Nielsen after the game, and he said this was their best game all season, and the largest crowd they had all season. Well coached team. Trimble is the floor leader on that team. I've watched the Kid since his Newport Harbor High days. A couple of breaks and upsets in the playoffs, and you might see the Matodors in Honolulu in May. I hope they bring the "bunnies" to the Islands. I'll buy them a round of drinks.
Even though Hawaii outscored the Matadors in total points, they just made too many errors. Azenha got WORKED. He must've got block at least 5 times. Does he know how to hit Line - he's got to learn to play smarter. You can't power your attempts against the better teams in the league all the time. He's got away with it at the start of the season, but now you're going up against the BYUs, Pepps and Beach teams. Roll shots and High Hands once in awhile Pedro. Didn't he learn anything watching Costas/Tony/Eyal play last season - Boys I miss watching those guys. The Thomas experiment is not working. Delano plays outside like a middle blocker. He's footwork is so bad. He has no approach and he runs ahead of the set. He's always off balance when he hits. However, he passing is improving and he gets these unbelieveable one arm digs. He gets away with so much because he is so athletic. and you can't take him off the court. I'd like to see a piss-off Delano more often. Hawaii should have worked Northridge's middle more. There was clearly a mismatch there. Josh did a good job tonight. Mau is a head case, he psychs himself out on the court. Mau and Josh are basketball players and have only 3 years of college vb between them - not enough experience against the better middles in the league, and they are coming up soon. The Middles just need to play steady and smart. A couple of kills in the middle and stay in position on a block will keep the opposition honest and give the outside hitters more to work with. Coach Wilton pulled Jose out early - he was not passing. I like the idea of Ari in the line up - he is Hawaii's best passer and a smart hitter. He tooled the Matadors on several occasions. Bad passing is killing the Warriors right now. Alfred passed better last night, but he let too many serves in for aces. Senior leadership is big for this inexperience and moody team. Ari and Kimo settled things down and at the same time pumped the team up. It was great watching the Seniors jumping up and down and chest bumping each other. Kimo was trash talking all night, even to the Bunnies.
I think you need to leave Ari and Kimo in the starting line up against USC. The two seniors have a settling affect on the team, which will off set the moody Azehna and Delgado, and unemotionaly Thomas and Stanhauser. Both are undersized at their position, but both they bring so much in floor leadership and emotion to this young team.
Hey Crusher. You need a "Color Man" on Senior nite, I'm available.
