i see that 3 7 seeds lost yesterday: james madison lost to baylor, auburn to western michigan, and iowa state to hawaii just further proof that this damn committee probably meant to switch texas state and a&m but didn't because of course. i still don't understand how, as the #7 overall seed, we were matched up with another Power 5 school. The next highest seed to get a Power 5 opponent in the first round is Arizona State playing Georgia, and they're the #5 seed in their quadrant. Make it make sense. |

Jerritt said they did a good job...so. We might not be seeing something here. I agree. Out of all the 1 and 2 seeds, we had the roughest first round match in terms of RPI PLUS we get a rivalry game. |

I think Jerritt was just shelling out pleasantries tbh. He did mention something about K State, I believe. There's really no excuse for giving a Top 8 national seed a Power 5 opponent. Complete BS. Kentucky gets Wofford and we get A&M lol |

A couple of thoughts: 8. However, the band may not know the strategy on making noise during the game. Truth be told, I didn't know until 2 years ago. The band was constantly trying to make noise to distract our servers. I was thinking, "Dudes....thanks!" 9. It was sad that seats were sold out and yet, people didn't show up. Next to us: For 8 I noticed this too! Especially in the 4th set when we were serving. The crowd was getting loud & I looked over at the A&M band and they're yelling just as loud as the Texas fans. 🤷 I was annoyed with the amount of empty seats too. Don't know how to post pics on here but prime chairback section 42 was half empty the entire match. |

It's Asjia's last match at the Greg. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS I’m rooting for Houston to knock out Stanford. I’m right there with you. I’ve probably watched her video announcing her return a couple hundred times. She had a match for the ages last night. And that’s following the Texas Tech match. She looks like John Wick in the first movie when they asked him if he’s back. |

If your entire fight song is about Texas and you’re yelling about beating the hell out of teams, you should be able to take some of that same energy back. She would have a stroke if she saw comment sections of football or basketball games. |
