One thing about it. The Texas match will be their Super Bowl. It is for all the instate schools, but Texas Tech has a bigger hard on for Texas right now than even A&M does. The double team of leaving them for the SEC and stealing their beloved basketball coach, adding to the dynamics that have always been at play anyway.... Their arena will be rocking. Stupid question: why does everyone have it against Texas? Because Texas is arrogant and owns it. Many (especially on this board) like to hide their arrogance (and do a horrific job of it) behind some fictitious veil of that’s against our Midwestern sensibilities. That also carries to the teams they root for. My player can stare your player down ( that’s just being intense) but how dare Texas be so arrogant and stare down my team.

Another sold out packed stadium. This is such great news for VB. ESPN is paying attention!

My takeaway from tonight's match is that noone has yet proven that Texas can be beat. Ok except the exact opposite

My takeaway from tonight's match is that noone has yet proven that Texas can be beat. Ok except the exact opposite I was thinking the same thing. This was the match that showed there is a crack in the armor that can be exploited if all of the moon and stars align. After their opening weekend, I didn't think anyone was going to be able take three sets off of Texas. After last night, you can see the possibility of yet another regional disappointment. Outside of Akana in serve receive, I think the Longhorns biggest liability is sitting on the bench. Watching Jeritt get desperate and lose his cool when things weren't going well was revealing. His team fed off of that negative energy. When he sat down a the end of the bench and kept quiet, his team played better.

The two DS’ both staring at each other with neither making a play feels like a result of stress. This probably is done in 4 if he avoids the conflict with the R1.

No more nights off, Oklahoma is the 2021 West Virginia. Win against lower competition in non-con, shoot for 500 In conference and maybe get a bid. They are better than a last years OU team. And they did sweep Iowa which is impressive since we all know there’s never a night of in the B10. Congrats, Texas but haters will be haters. If y'all want to compare yourselves to the BIG and teams top to bottom, happy to. Iowa is at the bottom, bless your heart.

My takeaway from tonight's match is that noone has yet proven that Texas can be beat. Ok except the exact opposite Kansas did something Stanford, Minnesota, nor Ohio State (twice) could not do -- win one more than one set from Texas. And, both were 2 point wins.

Beat means taking 3 sets off Texas. Nobody has demonstrated that yet. If you're just talking about losing sets, <shrug> tOSU did that on our second match.

I'm glad to see a coach stand up and fight for his players; doesn't matter how it "looks" to non-Texas fans who have their own biases. That match last night is most likely a sweep on the road if not for service errors (which are for sure part of the game).

I do kind of feel bad for madden. His team got swept out the door on Sunday afternoon at home by one of the teams he hates the most in Nebraska. And, then last night, he spent so much time, energy and hope trying on this board to will Kansas to a victory, only to watch the other team he hates so much in Texas come back and yank the rug from underneath his feet in the most excruciating fashion. Rough last 4 days.

Perhaps, or Jerritt actually coached for once in his career, got the right players on the court and stuck with it. Although he really needs to figure out why Akana is sitting on her hands when she passes.
