Lol to be fair, you’re correct about 90% of the state, but Austin is literally so different from the rest of Texas. And this is coming from someone who lives in Texas, but doesn’t live in Austin. That’s the gist I’m getting so I’m glad i at least got one response from someone that felt honest. Idk how i feel personally about living in a state where just the one city is “worth” living in but like everyone is pointing out, im ignorant to the overall identity of the state. It’s just funny because the same people swear they have coastal states all figured out but when met with even the tiniest bit of questioning, its all foaming at the mouth and gnashing of teeth lol i didnt even think my post was a prickly as i can usually be. Who is this even directed to? Where have I or anyone else in this thread you've decided to poop on indicated we have "coastal states all figured out"? You're just rolling out one benighted blast after another. You don't even stop to take a breath between them. Who needs you to live here? I don't care one way or another where you decide to live, or how you make that decision. What does that have to do with anything?

how about instead we talk about what Jerritt is gonna do lineup-wise with this team for Texas State? I expect the passing to be good enough to feed our middles a lot, so I wonder if they’ll keep trying to run Bri faster with Jhenna or if they’ll revert to the higher set they were doing last season. also, do y’all know how many fans to expect?

Let’s hope that’s the truth and not just homer talk. I like Texas for its athletic programs but I mean without getting into unnecessary politics it’s not like it’s currently the shining example of a US state. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise or that just because you’re in Austin that somehow that protects you from the worst of it. I say recognize the bad but advocate for the good. Just like California, New York and other heavily populated states, there’s a lot of layers to the overall identity of the state. Lol to be fair, you’re correct about 90% of the state, but Austin is literally so different from the rest of Texas. And this is coming from someone who lives in Texas, but doesn’t live in Austin. I love how each of you are pretending you are not cramming your politics down this board’s throat. Please shut it and let’s get back to volleyball.

Can't be that far off of what? You have your head stuck up your hiney. Which other part of your anatomy do you think you should have it up instead? All I can say is come visit Austin sometime, and then talk. Or talk to someone who has actually lived there. Best, talk to a Latino who has lived there. Because right now it's obvious you're basing your views on what you've read. Which doesn't make them wrong, but it also doesn't make them applicable in the way you're trying to make them. You're casting your whole view of a specific community based on preconceived notions of what Texas is like. And it's not accurate. What you're mistaking for defensiveness is actually incredulity. You could’ve said, i can see where you may have been mistaken but i assure you that Texas, specifically the Austin community, is not nearly as bad as other parts of the state and the people who run it, make it out to be. It’s fine though, I feel like im highjacking this thread on a topic that was never meant to be as contentious as you decided to make it. Have a swell day. PS. Lol who says “hiney” ? I could have said any number of things. I feel very comfortable in the tone and content of my responses to you. If anything, I feel like I've gone out of my way to be less belligerent than I normally am when confronting such an astounding combination of ignorance and assuredness. Stick to volleyball, and comment less on how appropriate communities that you know absolutely nothing about might be in hosting an international player, and you'll be in good shape.

I expect at least some experimentation. The volleytalk video posted up on the board was interesting in that Salima Rockwell and Jenny, the former coach at Mississippi State, were talking about week 3 being where the lineups solidified. How true is that for Texas? The student attendance for Stanford was announced at something like 1700. I'd love to see something close to that again. I'm curious about how aggressive the serving will be. I'm assuming hyper aggressive. Also, I wonder if Texas State can win a set or not. How quickly will Texas start out in each set?

I'll make one challenge to you. If you know someone from Texas that is a conservative, ask them their opinion of Austin politically. Until then, STFU because you have your head about two feet up your ass.

There is no Saige. She's a myth. A whisper. A mirage. She's something to aspire to, not to attain.

pretty solid sweep. another slow start in the first and passing looked shaky, but we really got going in the second and third sets. third set was fun to see all the possibilities with this team, and Cabello had a pretty good showing imo.

Until then, STFU because you have your head about two feet up your ass. Lol how about you shut your bandwagon ass up and mind your business? The “argument” was over but you just had to add your own stupid words into it. I get it, Austin is apparently “liberal”(whatever tf that means) enough that it makes up for the stereotypes about Texas overall. If that’s good enough for Parra, a foreign player still improving her English, to feel comfortable being there, awesome, good for her, that’s it.
