I’m referring to volleyguy. The Texas fans here were all pretty much agreeing it was valid How do we feel about that team up against this years Texas team?👀 I honestly don’t know which team I would pick to win, bc none of the positions had a serious leg up on the other except maybe in the middle? If they played Melanie Parra instead of benchin her in the playoffs they woulda won against Kentucky easily lol

Avery skinner and stumler are both better than eggleston and Madi skinner, id say Tharp was probably better than akana is SR? I think id give kentucky the overall edge there. texas blocking would be better too

I don’t see why there is any speculation regarding Phillips. She was literally just at their first indoor practice training with the rest of the team. If she was really done with indoors she wouldn’t be practicing indoors and taking reps from younger players. It’s just that AAS article.

I think most people agree that this year's TX team is an upgrade at almost every position compared to 2020. There's some areas where it's close (Fields/Butler v. Skinner/Caffey), but not enough to hurt IMO. Given that 2020 Texas took a set off KY, with the improvements I'd say the results are reversed and 2022 Texas takes the match in 4, particularly with Stumler having to deal with a larger block from SKT and the Fleck/Baby Spice/Akana back row. The sci Fi geek in me would like to point out that this scenario produces some Madi-on-Madi violence: 2020 RS Kentucky Madi and 2022 OH Texas Madi would end up hitting/blocking against themselves. Who wins that battle, lol?

Y’all rly wanna make me have to read essays in this thread huh TL:dr Texas fan base sucks because we’re not letting low-rent Hawaii fans get away with spewing foolishness for no reason. Some people post like they’re getting paid per character, but that’s the gist. thank you King 🫡

Sorry to keep the derailment up but I already said sometbing nice ab texas in here today so it evens out but that Kentucky team was incredible in every single facet of volleyball. They win the natty with that roster no matter what. That pin trio coupled with one of the best ever ncaa setters and curry? Goodnight I think Texas fans are in agreement that Kentucky deserved that win, no asterisks. I mean I wish we'd won, but I'm not going to whine about any asterisks that's why i can't bring myself to watch this review. We played pretty damn well and lost and I'm like booooooooo

We played pretty damn well and lost and I'm like booooooooo was one of the best championship games though! Both teams played great and were throwing out bombs and pretty much all the star power on both sides lived up to their reputation which is cool too. Was cool that skylar logan lilley and stumler etc all played well

I wonder if any losing championship game team has hit higher?

And by the end of the match, me and my friends had the entire bar invested in what was happening. What a time!

The sad thing is that after Texas goes into the SEC, LHN will be folded into SEC+. On one hand, we gripe about most Longhorn fans inability to watch LHN based on their specific cable/streaming package. So this will allow y'all to see more.
But on the other hand.....does that mean that every home game will still be almost guaranteed to be broadcast? And does special features like this documentary get made in the future? I've only sporadically watched SEC+, so I don't know.

It is my understanding that all of the home games will be on the SEC Network (SECN) or SECN+ which is the accompanying streaming service for the network. I understand that if you have access to SECN, you get SECN+ with it. They're a package, not separate entities. An advantage is that the road conference games will also be SECN/SECN+. No having to subscribe to ESPN+ to get the road games. Also SECN is more widely available and typically on a cheaper tier of providers than LHN so might save a few bucks. Now I really only watch games on SECN myself so I don't know if they do specials like this upcoming one for the 2022 VB championship. I'm going to guess no until I see otherwise. One other note. If I understand a recent statement correctly by CDC, the LHN archives will be available through SECN+ once we move.
