Both teams are lucky to be in Hawaii. It’s freezing cold both in San Diego and Pullman. I know, my son is in Santa Barbara, and it was brutal down there today ... high of 63. I can't imagine how bad it was in San Diego. It was raining all day in san diego. it felt more like in the high 40s or low 50s with the wind chill factor

Will be cheering for the Toreros. Sat next to some of their fans during today’s HAL15 flight from SAN to HNL. And one of them mentioned that Jolie R. is from San Diego county.

This has to be the BEST 1st round match, in the NCAA Tournament. I rate this as a toss-up match. Can see this match going 5 sets.

I remember a VT post several years ago about WSU. Someone said the Palouse, the region where WSU and Idaho are located, have more sun than the western half of Washington, less rain, and is generally more scenic. Is this true?

Do not know about the scenic part, but it does have more sun, and less rain, then the Western part of Washington. In fact, there are a lot more forest fires, also. This is mainly due to the Rocky Mountains.

I remember one weekend tournament in September when the first match ran very long and it was practically dawn in Michigan by the time the second match (Hawai’i-Michigan?) was over. A six-hour time difference was nuts. At least it is only five hours this time of year (2130 EST for the first match).

This is mainly due to the Rocky Mountains. Forest fires? Rocky Mountains? Rockies are in the Mountain West (Montana, Colorado, Utah and etc), not the Pacific Northwest. The Palouse is wheat country in the Pacific NW. It has minimal forest and what forest there is there are rarely forest fires. What little forest there is is mostly on the Idaho side of the border where you find places like U of Idaho. Weather (moisture), for the most part, is determined by what comes over from the Columbia Gorge. The Palouse gets 21" rain/year. Seattle 38". Palouse gets 36" snow/year. Seattle 5". There is significant precipitation in the Palouse which helps make it the most productive wheat country in the US. Palouse

This is mainly due to the Rocky Mountains. OK, 1) The Palouse is grassland country. So no, it doesn't feature a lot of forest fires. 2) The weather patterns between Eastern and Western Washington are not typically influenced a lot by the Rocky Mountains. Since the weather mostly comes from the west, they are most heavily influenced by the Cascade Mountains. 3) It is scenic, if you like rolling grassland country. 4) Summers are warmer and dryer, winters are much colder and snowier compared to Puget Sound. And 5), it is the home of the Giant Palouse Earthworm, which for a while people feared may have gone extinct, but is apparently still out there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Palouse_earthworm

The Palouse is named for the Palouse people, who lived there and fished on the Palouse River ![](https://www.tripsavvy.com/thmb/Tqrh_bJvrn0Crfrs1fZI58_pnJc=/950x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-182110697-5b5558c346e0fb003701b6a2.jpg) There was a war between the US and Palouse people. It's a long story, involving the US deciding that the Palouse tribe was part of the Yakima tribe. The Yakima were really more of a group of interrelated clans than a political entity, and the Palouse people were not really part of the Yakima at all. But when one of the major Yakima clan leaders signed a treaty, the US deemed it as being accepted by all the Yakima, including (in their eyes) the Palouse. The treaty reserved a large area as a reservation for the Yakima but gave up all claims to the entire Palouse region. The Palouse people had never signed the treaty and may not have even known it, and suddenly white farmers were telling them they had to leave. The Palouse didn't leave. Some US Army soldiers were sent in, commanded by a guy named Steptoe, and many of them were killed (including Steptoe). Then a much bigger group of US Army soldiers were sent in. The Palouse ran and tried to seek refuge with some of the other tribes in the area, but nobody else wanted to protect them or help them keep their land. This was more or less the end of the Palouse war.
