Watching the Texas vs UCSD game (wanting to see Norene’s sister play) I am happy that Hawaii fans are a lot calmer than fans on the mainland. We don’t count each touch of the volleyball when Hawaii’s on offense and we don’t yell during the other team serving.

Nothing is more fun than for a home team than a rowdy crowd of students trying to create a home-court advantage.

Remembers the time that Dave Shoji called out the fan base for being nice against our then arch-rival Long Beach State.... It can be weird to see hostile fan environments in women's volleyball--we expect it in men's sports. But I think the players enjoy it too, even when they are being heckled.

Watched the Marquette game on YT last night. First 2 sets were very competitive and winnable. The last set looked like everything was going wrong and the body language crestfallen after falling behind by 10. I remember my thought at that point during the game night. I thought that this was the moment of truth. Will the Wahine fight back and show the courage and fight that is their heritage. Or fold and implode as teams in that situation have often done.
When MJ came in, it left BVS as the only senior on the floor except when Sky was in. Everyone else was a freshman and/or newcomer. To watch them swim upstream against a talented and loose opponent brought a smile to my face. BVS put the team on her back and pulled them together (along with Amber and Sky). Here was a team with heart and, with a coach like RAM, I was confident they would get much better over time. So, it wasn't totally surprising that they came out and beat TAMU the next night.
I'm going to sit back and enjoy this team and leave it to the many armchair coaches to tell Robyn who to play and what kind of strategies she should be using. I Mua

I Mua To each their own, but personally, I come to fan forums because I enjoy reading other fans' perspectives and opinions - you know, to "talk sports". I've been doing that way before there was an internet! 👨🦳 *edit* One of my earliest memories of this type of fan banter is my older brother trying to convince me that the coaches were wrong and that June Jones was a better QB than Casey Ortez. Looking back, he might have been correct on that one!

Krause is the only one of those 3 ever in the passing formation. Koerber is one of the only actual passing opposite I can think of Both are covered but definitely play back row on serve receive. Samedy and Cleveland do NOT pass. I’m very familiar with both teams lol. I know @bigwestfan2 has gone over this a lot but there’s a big difference between passing and playing defense. You don’t use the word passing to describe playing back row defense. It’s just incorrect vball vocabulary. It’s not really interchangeable at all IMO

What does any of this have to do with Hawai'i? Create your own thread and discuss that issue there.

Hawaii fans have the ALOHA Spirit. Mainland fans are just ignorant, and rude, every single one of them.

We’ve already settled that Samedy and Cleveland are not passing opposites but do get put into the passing formation when the team is in trouble. No one is confused about Serve Receive vs Defense. Go terrorize another thread.

Well I appreciate @madden54's insight, just not on this thread if it doesn't concern Hawai'i.
