Unrelated question. But did the Big 12 stop issuing the "salad bowl" for Big 12 trophies?
eyeroll2021 is a big fan of that trophy

I see us bing a sweet 16/elite 8 team with this bracket. SMU could be a trap match but otherwise I think we faired pretty well It would be unbelievably disappointing not to make it out of this subregional. *flashbacks to Long Beach and K State games*

Frankly, so was getting blitzkrieged by Stanford and losing to Washington State. And the 5 set near loss to TCU wasn't a whole lot of fun, either. But none of them equaled that Long Beach State showing. The good news is we really haven't played that bad since then. That was horrendous. The KState loss sucked, but KState played really well and all 3 sets were pretty close. They were just so much more clutch once it reached 20. All 3 sets. In any case, win these first two matches, then see what we can do in Palo Alto. This team has a lot of really powerful weapons. One of the best serving teams in the country. Outstanding blocking. O'Neal and Skinner are as good as it gets in the college game. Phillips has the kind of veteran leadership you love to have. She's never going to get too flustered. We can do some damage for sure. O'Neal and Phillips in particular have had incredible careers. They know what it's like to go out early, and they know what it's like to be playing in the last game, and what the difference is between the two.

Totally fine with the Texas draw. Love that the first round game against the Aggies will contain built in drama. So much better than a cupcake to start with. Stanford is just as hit-n-miss as Texas, so that’s not an unfavorable potential matchup at all. That’s by far the least intimidating of the potential regional arenas to play in IMO. Truly. If I were Pitt I’d be nervous af looking at the path they have to take to the FF As someone pointed out in the Bracketology thread, Pitt potentially has to go through USC - Washington State - Louisville - Nebraska to get to the championship match. Yikes

IMO, this is a dangerous/ bad matchup for Texas. I think a&m wins.
