i'm feeling nervous. i am concerned that last year's schedule was so much of a grind that it will catch up to them. they spent essentially 9 months going after it. This officially begins Texas Volleyball Season!!

I guess I’m one of the few that thinks Texas matches up well against any team in the country. I watched the regionals and finals matches this weekend, and it’s virtually the same very special, very athletic team returning. If they play at that level, I think they’ll go undefeated. Even with the loss of O’Brien; I have faith the backcourt will be just as strong. The key, in my opinion, is how consistently Skylar can put up monster numbers to compliment Logan. literally who thinks Texas isn’t one of the best teams in the country this year? I think they’re talking more along the lines of “Texas is going undefeated” versus they’ll take some losses but still be good.

I predicted they’d go undefeated. I said ‘one of the few’ because most others predicted at least a loss or two. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

I don’t think that’s going to happen. just because someone predicted they may lose a game or two doesn’t mean they don’t think that Texas isn’t one of the best teams if not the best team. It’s really hard to go undefeated in a power 5 conference no matter who you are.

Totally agree that Texas could take it to anyone right now with their talents. And like I said, this could definitely be the golden season where the team has a perfect record. (Last year wasn’t too shabby, actually...lol.) I think the key phrase you used there is “if they play at that level”. Like any team, Texas has moments where focus is lost, but the team’s best will be very hard to beat.

I, however, am casually skeptical of said All American being set by someone other than Lilley. We’ll see. Also casually skeptical of her ability to carry the entire load if production and defense out of Baylor’s middles remains the same.

The ‘if’ is doing a lot of work here, and I don’t discount how difficult it is to run the table in any given season. But their run against Penn State -> Nebraska -> Wisconsin showed me this team is mentally and physically capable of running the table. Simply put, I think this is the year they avoid an in season let down and get it down through the playoffs. That’s just my humble prediction.

If they DO avoid a let-down, I think you could be right.

If they DO avoid a let-down, I think you could be right. We’ve been hurt before. For the record, my initial prediction was 24-1. Then I re-evaluated and decided I think they’ll run the table. This team can do it and I’m confident and optimistic that they will. I might eat these words, but who knows. It’ll be fun season!
