Nov. 30, 2006

Stanford, Calif. - The First & Second Rounds of the Women's NCAA Volleyball Tournament hosted at Stanford have been moved back one day to Saturday and Sunday. Due to inclement weather in the Midwest, Missouri was unable to travel today. Since they will be arriving on Friday, the first round will be played on Saturday, December 2, with Missouri vs. Santa Clara set for 4:30 pm and Stanford vs. Sacramento State slated for 7:00 pm. The winners of the first round matches will now play in the second round match on Sunday, December 3 at 7:00 pm.

Fans who purchased 2-day passes in advance will still use those tickets to enter the first and second round matches. Tickets for Friday's matches will now be valid on Saturday, December 2. Saturday's tickets will now be valid for Sunday, December 3. Single day passes will be available on Saturday, December 2.

Also, there will be no pre-game Chalk Talks for Stanford Quick Set Club Members this weekend.

So, Stanford 1st/2nd rounds are pushed back one-day each to Saturday 12/2 and Sunday 12/3. Call your friends, tell your neighbors!

Let's hope that Missouri can travel with more snow and ice expected!

Is there any precedent to forfeiting a match if a team can't travel?

Sac State issued a delay release as well:

Apparently, Mizzou has had to sit through three flights that were unable to leave. Yikes.

I heard that the high school state finals haven't been in northern california for awhile due to poor attendance. With Stanford playing at the same time as Mira Costa/Mitta only 20 minutes away from each other, I wonder what the attendance draw for high school will be?

Stanford fans aren't going to be too worried about Stanford beating Sac State... so they might go now when they wouldn't have done before.

Missouri loves Albany. Send 'em there.

Never send any tapes to people pretending to be fans of your team because the person asking is likely a scoundrel (Stanford Booster), and the tape is to be used as a scounting tool. These folks (term used loosely) have no shame.

Mod, please transfer the above post to an appropriate Scounting thread. It certainly has nothing to do with a thread about Stanford.

Scounting sounds painful.

Did Missouri fly out today?

61 and sunny in San Jose.
73 and sunny in LA and San Luis Obispo.

There were only minor outbound delays reported at Lambert Field in St. Louis. If they weren't connecting at O'Hare, which is having its own problems, they should have made it to California by now.
