TrojanSC's latest bracketology has USC coming to the Austin sub-regional. I'm conflicted. While I would love to see Skylar Fields play in the Gregory again, I expect that it would lend some extra spice to her swing. Not sure I'm ready for the Skylar Revenge Tour to F stuff up for us.

I'm confused. Why go to this site when the NCAA's RPI site, updated 11/19 says the exact same thing?
this site has the projected bonuses added in, NCAA doesn’t. Apparently didn’t make a difference this week

So what we really need Skylar to do is F stuff up for Oregon tomorrow, so that USC seeding moves up (and potentially Texas too)

Serve receive really is so much harder than it looks, and I say that only having played rec and sand volleyball for years. I don’t think there is any excuse really for college volleyball players to not be able to pass at least…well…passably. I definitely recognize it’s harder for some, and others may have just not had that emphasized in their development. But if it’s a weakness or a liability, it’s the kind of skill that can definitely be improved with dedicated work.

I think one of the harder things for us to do as human beings is empathize when something is difficult for someone else that’s relatively easy for us.
It’s important to remember there are likely a lot of things they’re very good at that we find difficult. Everyone struggles with something.

I’m fine with playing Jenna more in 6-rotation. That’s no slight to Barnes. I prefer an offense with two 6-rotation players to create a constant back-row attack possibility. But you have to have two players that can pass, defend, attack, and serve well enough to do it. I hope next year Jenna and Madi will both play six-ro, but this year and/or next it’s not something you have to do all the time. But it’s great to have that option/potential. Maybe sometimes you want to be more defense-oriented, maybe other times more offense-oriented. Saturday was a great time to throw that wrinkle in there. Same for this final regular season match against Tech. How do top volleyball players suck so much at passing? Its mind boggling You didn’t know what the difference between passing/serve receive and defense was last week. Pipe down

For those of you who have a subscription to The Athletic, an interesting article about Kelly Sheffied:
Why do I post it here and not in the Wiscy?
1. I don't usually post on other teams' links because....I don't 2. I'll leave it to the Wiscy frenemies who lurk here to do this and figure out how to get around the paywall. Don't feel like carrying their water
Unrelated and added later: I can't decide if JE and Sheffield are considered "friendly". I know a certain other coach in the BIG that it's a NO. You can usually tell if JE likes the other coach based on their recurring scheduling. JE big buds with Hugh.

a lot of top schools coaching staffs are pretty friendly with one another - at least when they see each other. I coached club the last two years and would see multiple coaches of top 10 schools congregating to certain courts (obviously to watch whatever star player they're looking at) but often times they'll sit or stand right next to eachother and talk for however long they're at the court. Idk about Sheffield and Merritt specifically - they usually sent Sullivan and white anyways. I've seen dbk sitting with ulmer, Fischer and jfo, Keegan cook and hambly. I will say the only coach I've never seen hanging out with the others is reyes lol

texas football with the win 26 to 16 over iowa st 🥳🎉...texas is 10-1 on the season Believe they just won the right to go to the B12 championship game tonight. Regardless what happens against Texas Tech. I can't see any other scenario that they don't go, even with a loss next week. EDIT: i was wrong
