Anyone else get a call from TCU Volleyball today? Said they knew I had bought tickets to games in the past & wanted to know my plans for their last 2 home games.
Promptly told him the only reason I had bought tickets was because I was a Texas fan. Told him "not interested & "Hook 'em" then hung up.

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 I've heard Jerritt talk about his scheduling philosophy in the past. The one thing he's said more than once and on different occasions was:
"We like to schedule schools where we like the way they run their program. They run it right. They treat their student athletes right" (a bit of paraphrase from me)
That's very telling "They treat their student athletes right"

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. Which bracketology is that? I'm seeing USC going to Knoxville on the 11/19 bracketology: Lincoln Regional (#1) (1) Nebraska vs. Jackson State* Northern Iowa vs. (8) Missouri (4) Florida vs. FGCU South Alabama vs. (5) Arizona State* (2) Texas vs. Grand Canyon* Texas State vs. (7) Auburn* (3) Tennessee vs. Wofford High Point vs. (6) Southern California*

I would think so, IMO the other leading candidate is probably Erin Livingston? Agreed, but Madi has it pretty on lock. Madi has more Kills/Set, Points/Set, Digs/Set, Aces/Set, Blocks/Set, hitting at a higher clip, and is leading a top 6/7 team.
