Also, it's interesting we're facing Louisville in women's basketball tomorrow. I'd love to see the Lady Longhorns put another W up over the Cardinals for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. i'll be there tonight

So I’ve had a theory for awhile about Caffey’s jersey. It probably was just some kind of issue on Nike’s end, but what if it wasn’t? During that press conference where he basically threw Kayla under the bus and vaguely started implying she left for NIL reasons, John Cook said the following: “And so it just takes me back to a scene in the movie about the 1980 U.S. hockey team when their coach asked them, are you playing for the team on -- the name on the front of your jersey or are you playing for the name on the back of your jersey.” You know Kayla heard about that press conference. What if she wore the Texas jersey on purpose? It probably was a manufacturing issue- although they had months to get her a jersey- but this is more fun. This becomes the official story from this point forward.. That is the stuff of legends!

Whether that's the exact reason or not, you have to believe that she was wearing it intentionally by the end of the season and through the tournament.

BTW, sorry to post this here, because it's only tangentially related to volleyball. During last December's Sweet Sixteen match versus Marquette, there was a fan that came on that thread and started talking noise about how amazing Shaka Smart was as a coach, and how Texas fans just didn't appreciate him. We went back and forth a bit, because I follow Texas men's basketball very closely, and I can tell you with 100% confidence that Shaka Smart was a terrible coach at Texas by virtually any metric. Great recruiter. Terrible coach. Watching him do his usual nosedive as a #2 seed falling to #7 seed MSU was wonderful. But the kicker was watching him lead his team in breathing exercises for 15 seconds during the last media timeout, and then watching Michigan State go on an 8-0 run. Followed by him letting Michigan State run 15 seconds off the clock at the 1 minute mark down by 7, only to finally foul Michigan State's 87% free throw shooter. He's a terrible coach, and it was very empowering watching him be a terrible coach today. Obviously Texas has some issues to resolve at the coaching position. But Chris Beard was a much better basketball coach than Smart, and frankly, so is Rodney Terry, and if Terry doesn't get the job, then whoever gets it will be better than Shaka Smart as well. So glad that guy is gone. Again, I wouldn't be posting it here except the Marquette fan and I went back and forth on it a few months ago, and I don't feel like bringing that thread to the top of the page. But I am very happy about how things went today, that is for sure. 100 percent unrelated to volleyball.

Yes you're right - if you talk about something on a volleytalk board it is at least somewhat related to volleyball. BTW, I think it's interesting that the French government is going to face two no-confidence motions in opposition to Emmanuel Macron’s decision to push through an unpopular rise in the pension age without a parliament vote. I wonder whether the protests in Paris will continue in response to Macron's decision.

I am on my phone and I need to log in everytime The best advice I can give you is when you log in there’s a box in the right corner below the login information that says “Remember me” next to it. Try checking that box and see if it helps
