Do you think this changes anyone's rankings? For me it doesn't It's tough to move down an undefeated team for a one loss team. Especially with the wins Texas has to their credit. If Penn State runs the B1G that would be hella impressive. I also find it inconceivable, but maybe it's in a The Princess Bride sort of way. So I guess they could move past Texas if that were to happen. But really I think Texas is going to have to lose to drop. |

Not sure if this will resonate with anyone else, but Kansas legit feels like the type of team that could push TX and Baylor and other top teams to five, but... like also could maybe probably get swept by TCU. Haha just some pieces on that team that can be REALLY on... or really NOT on. Yes. Last year it was the same - pushed Texas to a reverse sweep on night 1, then was swept on night 2. . . IIRC on night 2, Texas had a game where we sided out at 100% |

I've always been in favor of Madi on the right. She just opens up the offense on that side of the net, but can still be terminal on the left if needed. I'm not sure if her back row defense/passing will hold up against good teams, but it'd be nice to see her train there during some of the conference matches. Madi hits OOS much better on the right This. Molly hits the low sharp angle, in-system shot really well, but Kansas was all over that. Other than that, she doesn't have the range/power to be an effective pin hitter. |

 congrats to the texas players! kansas, i was rooting for you (b/c i love a good upset) also, JE is an a$$h*le. the things he (and others of his ilk) get away with, that people from other demographics wouldn't is just... What are you talking about🙄 He did nothing wrong so what exactly did he get away with? He got upset. You are not allowed to get upset during a volleyball match. It's like in Dr. Strangelove. "Gentlemen! There's no fighting here! This is the war room!" I also love the gratuitous white male demographic dig. |

Do it for WiddleDumpling |

Do it for WiddleDumpling There's also just something to be said for being at another team's place and coming back from 0-2. Should you go down 0-2 to an unranked team? Absolutely not. But if you can dig yourself out of it, I think it proves you're worthy of #1 if undefeated. Now, if this sh*t keeps happening and Louisville is running amok in the ACC? then maybe it's warranted, but I don't see either of those things happening. |

What are you talking about🙄 He did nothing wrong so what exactly did he get away with? ok lemme explain it to you like you're five. jerritt elliott's attitude in the first two sets when UT was not doing so hot...what african american, or female coach (athlete, person, in general), would get away with his conduct? like lets be real...this doesn't start or end with him. we've seen it time and time again, from kavanaugh during his supreme court questioning, we've seen it with djokovic, whereas two black, female counterparts of theirs (ketanji brown jackson, serena williams) did/do not get treated the same way. |

I wanna give a HUGE shoutout to Parra and Caffey. If Parra doesn come in and take some huge swings and go on MANY service runs we are done in 3. Caffey her offense is just one of a kind. JE PLEASE HAVE THESE 2 IN THE STARTING LINEUP 100. That lineup with Parra, Egg and Skinner needs to be the A team. |
