London: USA v. Brazil. I still have never seen it. I agree. Idk how a team cruises through the tournament. Steamrolls a team in the first set and then falls apart! It’s still upsetting 8 years later.

London: USA v. Brazil. I still have never seen it. You can now...if you want: Ha! No thanks. I actually DID see the first game at home, and then we had plans that forced us to get out of the house, and I missed the rest. Another issue is that my partner is Brasilian, and the LOOK on his face when he found out the result.... UGH. Especially since we had both seen the first game and had assumed it would be a USA roll. UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH.

So tell me, which volleyball match(es) were the most painful to watch emotionally? Ones that still sting after the match was over. Personally, the 1997 championship match between Stanford and Penn State was particular painful for me to watch for some reason: Loved that 1997 Stanford victory over PSU; the fourth set, missing out on match point @14-13, still gives me heartburn . One of 2 SU classes to win 3 out of 4; Since there seems to be numerous Stanford haters here; a list of my most painful: These oughta make any SU despiser jump-for-joy at their remembrance of them... 2006: NEB versus Stanford; 2007: Penn State vs. SU; 2017 (semis): Florida versus SU.

My first experience of heartbreak was in 1999, when Stanford lost to Penn State in the national championship game. Don't get me wrong - the Nittany Lions still would have won that day; they were the better team. But to get swept when you had a team with Walsh and Tom? Definitely should have gone at least four, maybe five.
The next heartbreak was 2010 when Stanford lost to USC in the Elite Eight. I really thought it was the year Klineman, Ailes and Lichtman were going to bring it home for Stanford. Nope... Fonoimoana and Jupiter got in the way. I was crushed, particularly because the prospects for the next few years were not looking good. Glad I was wrong on that count...

USC vs Washington. 2013 NCAA tournament. Ebony Nwanebu was perfect and Bricio cost them that game.

Maybe it's odd, but 2005 CIF Northern California D-III championship. It was Campolindo vs. St Francis (Sacramento) and I drove there with another Campo fan. I didn't have any relationship to Campo other than I knew the coach. Campo was up 2-0 in games then 8-4 in game 5 and that seemed almost insurmountable in rally scoring. At least until it wasn't. Lost 15-13 and they seemed rather dejected when it was over.
The real irony was that their talent was much better than the next year, when they won the state championship against a stacked Laguna Beach team.

If just one of them hit better it could’ve had a different outcome Painful. But at the end of the day, it was a heavyweight battle that could have gone either way. USC won two deuce sets that match and Washington beat USC 3x, we can't put the blame solely on Bricio.. A 38 kill/30 dig performance by Vansant was... incredible. Washington was the better, more consistent team that year.
