2nd set starts around the 2:45 mark
"2nd set starts around the 2:45 mark" The hero we don't deserve.

i'm watching the highlights right now. what is this "overhead" that the announcer keeps mentioning? Big overhand swing. It doesn't stop, mln59. It never stops. I'm going to have nightmares about that phrase. To their credit, even though it wasn't a good play by play by any stretch of the imagination, it's obvious from their commentary they did a LOT of homework for this match. I was impressed by that aspect. But the actual play by play commentary was as bad as I've heard.

When Texas is leading and the opposing team calls timeout, Eric Sullivan goes into the huddle and gives them defensive tips or instructions. This isn't the best video of his "hand coaching" I've seen. When he's really into it, he has two hands up in the air almost like a push set but he's talking about how he wants the hands to be at the net. At this point, it is set 2 and Texas leading 19-17.

When Texas is behind, JE gets into the huddle and tries to get the team's headspace back into the game. But when a set is about to start, David Hunt speaks to the team to get them prepared for the start of the set.

This is the enclosed area between the "old" original Gregory Gym and the Annex added years later. Together they're referenced as "Gregory Gym". The video starts at the line to get into the Point Texas (donor's) Club, which is in the far corner of the video. And then the video pans down into the student's locker rooms for the gym complex. This is the "basement" where the volleyball teams also use for games. Both teams have to take the elevator or climb the stairs to get up to the floor of the court.
And then the video pans to the original "outside" brick facade of Gregory from 1930. You can see the skylight has been added to enclose it. If you look to the top right those windows form the top back windows at the very top of Gregory from inside the volleyball arena.
And then to the left are the two story gyms that many gyms have with the various moveable netting and partitions so that courts can be split up for multiple uses. Beneath these two story gyms are rock climbing and racquetball and weight lifting equipment.

Exactly. There are empty seats for most matches. Gregory is perfect. In fact , for me the gym is sometimes as much the attraction as the actual match. Are the empty seats sold or not, though? Some of the empty seat syndrome is that the tickets are purchased by people who don't value them. Last night, two top ten teams, Thursday night 8pm i.e. prime day prime time, and yet the key indicator of full vs. not full -- the worst high up at the west end GA seats -- showed sizeable gaps. To me that shows no sell-out, not just rich old folks in prime seats deciding they'd rather be in St. Tropez this week. I'd hate to see a move from Gregory for any reason at all, and I'd sure hate to see such a move combined with even more empty seats in the big fancy new Jimmy Bob and Janie Jo Bigcashdollar Super Volleyball Stadium.

can we take a second to recognize how singletary came off the bench and got a monster kill that sparked a late rally....like talk about coming in prepared Highest hitting percentage of the night lol I was joking about how bad we had to be doing for her to come in and then she shut me up. I cannot wait for her to come into her own and get real court time!

But you’re making this up out of thin air. Where would they put such a thing? Volleyball isn’t in any danger of moving. The next step is to host a match or two in Moody. Maybe we’ll see the A&M match there when we go to the SEC. They’re not going to tear down Gregory Gym because it’s the campus rec center. There’s no where else to put a building. The only reason the Moody got built in the first place is because of the opportunity to have a main campus UT hospital. In the meantime if Elliott finds it important to sell out Gregory on a regular basis he’ll need to do a modicum of marketing as the head coach. If that’s beneath him I don’t blame him. He’s already done plenty for the program. But that’s what it takes. To me there was a great crowd for the match. The atmosphere was electric. If some of the worst seats in the house went unsold I don’t give it the same importance you do. I’m certainly not going to invest myself in scenarios which have no chance of occurring.

That was the best one. There was another great rally at the set point mark in the second set with the score 24-19 that BYU won. Both team made some incredible plays to keep the ball up.

Can we appreciate that Molly has solidified and gotten that connection with Ella? They must have been working hard on that plus Asjia too. You can see really really bright moments. We see brilliance of a top 5 team from last night.
