There was a moment during the second set 16-16 when it's an obvious ball off the block was coming to Emma but then Carissa goes for it. She's playing middle back defense. It really shows how much she's still adjusting to her role from libero to DS. I'm glad she turned it around last night because she's currently the team's kryptonite along with Ella.

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. 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. I was really worried about the crowd being tired/ not giving energy because of the late start last night. Glad to say I was wrong. Despite it not being totally full, in person it was great

I've also thought about this. It's probably a big adjustment to go from Lib to DS on a team where you aren't the "commander" of the back row. I'm rooting for her and think it'll only get better

I'm rooting for her and think it'll only get better My bugbear on Barnes is that she does not follow the ball to the sideline on SR. She's been aced several times this season (starting with the scrimmage) as a result. Like, COME ON. You've been playing this game for, what? 10/12/15 years? should know better by now.

I'll admit I chuckled a little when JE immediately hid her after she let that first one fall

In Houston every food is Greek food. Mexican food is Greek food. Seafood is Greek food. Barbeque is Greek food. Cajun food is Greek food. Cafeteria comfort food is Greek food. Greek food is Greek food.

I just like saying the word. Falafel. "Did you want to order some, sir?" "No. I just like saying it."
