Watching the stream from yesterday, couple things I see. 1. this streaming is awesome!! glad they are moving around and seeing a TON of action. Jeff does well on the mic. 2. Tri Bourne is VERY athletic, I see good things. Getting Hyden as a partner is SO good for his game. 3. Theo and Nick can play with any team, I hope Theo sticks with the beach too.

I'm just echoing what others have already said, but I couldn't stand to watch Rogers play. Just the worst vibe emanating from him. Whether it's intentional or not, it sucks out all the joy of watching volleyball. He should just do us all a favor and retire to his Santa Ynez Ranch. The Lucena vs. Gibb/Patterson match was a good one. Lucena, to me, is the anti-Rogers. Tons of fire and passion - love watching him play. If Avatar makes some big strides this year (which I believe he will), would like to see him play with Lucena.
Great to see Watchfogel play well. Of the many guys who were affected by the AVP collapse, he's one I always feel for. He was making such huge strides as a player right before the crash - such an unbelievable side-out player for a defender and a really nice guy.
Lane Carico is the real deal. I'm with Geddy - she will be world class (and by that I mean good enough to represent the U.S. in the Olympics - maybe even in Rio).

Qualifiers ALWAYS look like that and what they televise is not always where the fans are (I RARELY go into Center court till the semi/finals). I'll be watching on CBS VBG and if those stands are packed (they WILL be), we'll wait for your retort! ; - )

Another awesome talent wasted away because the sport can't get it's act together...

Watching what appears to be a replay on the stream.
Can anyone who saw Brunner play talk a little about him. I am really excited to see that team play after seeing a picture of how that guy jumps. Casey's emergence has put Nick and John in the shadows a little but those guys are both world class and just need the right big guy

Holy crap, Fuerby/Casey beat Phil/Rosie? Hellllllll yeah!!! Unreal!!!! Wow, and how about the Rogers/Doherty vs. Ratledge/Olsen going to 21-19 in the 3rd??? Looks like Nick gets a crack at Phil again...interesting. Are these games streamed right now. What is the link? Thanks.

Watching Brunner/Lucena and Patterson/Gibb now. I don't know why people keep comparing Brunner and Bourne. Theo looks fully formed whereas this same Patterson/Gibb team made Bourne look like a qualifier last week
Skips to womens at 18-18. Great choice. Pavlik having a lot of trouble with Brooke Niles. Brooke 8 feet off. No block. Maybe expect the cutty?

No kidding They completely waste the great coverage they had yesterday with not having any live link on Sunday whatsoever. This happened last week too. Streaming the coverage live right up until the best matches of the "quarters" and the semi's is just ridiculous, those are the best games and they don't don't even stream them? Wtf

We're definitely missing some of the best matches of the tournament. I'm guessing it is some sort of requirement of the CBS deal, but wow, what a miss. Not only are Sunday morning matches usually the most intense of any tourney, but it would only increase viewership of the later matches. There are alot of crazy storylines going on and that would give the announcers a chance to really hype up the afternoon broadcast.
