really like the look of our serving. I feel like Nalani's passing can get a little shaky but she settled. I thought Logan's serve receive was good too. Asjia showed up big time. What’s the thought process behind Nalani starting with her top spin but moving to her floater after only one service rotation? Y’all thing Jerritt is telling her to do so, or her choice? I'd imagine Nalani starts with the high-risk serve, but then once Texas got down a little bit, they had her switch back to the lesser-risk serve. Def a coaching choice.

I figured, but it’s the second game in a row, and this game the other girls kept serving aggressive.

What rotational magic is Jerritt working out that’s letting this team go on longer runs late in sets? I feel like they’re crawling back after deficits way better than I’ve seen in the past. I feel like Texas was always good coming back later in the sets, especially in 2019, when they did similar stuff against Minny & A&M, and maybe USC? (Can’t remember the USC game as well as the other two) And then of course the epic BYU comeback. I guess you’re right!

What I loved most was how every person stepped up when teammates struggled. Set 1 - Asjia O'Neal was like, "y'all I got this". Set 3 when Stanford got on a run at the end and Skylar wasn't hitting well - Molly P and Nani took over. Great to have so many options and weapons on our side, and I love the increased focus on defense. TX always has great offense, but now we're scrappy too.
Can't wait for SKT, she can only make us even better

I think that's the first time we've ever swept Stanford in a volleyball match. Feels good!

It truly might have just been a strategic thing. It seemed that Baird was really struggling with the deep cross court serve (we saw 3-4 servers go 5 to 5 deep float to the corner).

Wisconsin's is forever, with round of 16 elimination in 2017, final match in 2019, Final 8 in 2016 (Wisconsin was up 2-0 in Madison in the most devastating loss in program history), and Final 8 in 2004. Yeah, a lot of pain there. While I would like the Badgers to be number 1, I am kind of glad Texas won. Stanford could use to not win all the time for once (spring season mess aside).

was filling out my VT POW ballot, and thought this was cool: Texas has 5 of the top 10 Big 12 servers in terms of aces per set.

After 3 games: Glad Jerritt scheduled games against 3 ranked teams. However now...unsure how highly ranked MN will be after their latest loss In past years, it seemed that Texas would lose focus in the 3rd set. This year, they sleepwalk through half the first set and then claw their way back. Frustrating, but learning to fight back and not just throw in the towel and wait for the second set is impressive We should just abandon our self-named nickname of MBU and call ourselves OOS-U. Yikes Jhenna is playing at 2019 levels "Dear Ms. O'Brien. If we could set you up with a sweetheart NIL deal, would you consider playing DS for a yet-to-be-named volleyball team for home games, only? This is just an initial inquiry into your availability." I was thinking in the first set that Jerritt might be swapping libero jerseys with Sydney But yeah, At passing
