I didn’t say it was supposed to be funny I said you can’t understand sarcasm That's your definition. "Sarcasm as wit is when someone uses exaggeration with the intention of being funny" But you keep swinging away. Gurl.

Isn't there a block-out option for weirdos. Oop, never mind I found it.

It reminds me of someone I knew who went to school out near Pullman. What was the name of that school again? I think their mascot was the "recently irrelevant." School fight song was "Up a Creek Without a Conference."

I didn't see a thread on Washington's first match of the season at Montana State. I don't have ESPN+ so I followed the live stats instead. The starters are: Haury at setter, Endsley and Barton at OH, Fletcher at OPP, Wessel and Hunt at MB. Wilson and Bush subbed in for Haury and Fletcher. Huskies won the first set comfortably. They had a 23-21 lead in set 2, when Huard came in to serve and made an SE. On thing led to another, Montana State took the set 27-25. Set 3 started well for the Huskies and they took the set 25-20. Montana State took a big lead early in set 4: 9-3. The Huskies were able to trim the deficit but trailed most of the set. Towards the end of the sets, Katy Wessels had a long serving run, which included a successful challenge by Tui, leading to a 25-20 victory. Huskies were lead by Fletcher, Endsley and Barton (16K, 16K, and 15K respectively). The middles still struggled offensively but each of them got 5 BA each.

Weird seeing the name Huard in this context. Wilson and Bush subbed in for Haury and Fletcher. Looking at the record of play, it doesn't seem like they are running a 6-2, but rather that they are just experimenting with lineup combinations. Is that correct?

I liked the Montana win for the Huskies today. I thought they showed some early grit, especially with being able to come back during that 4th set.

I plan to make threads for them, but got caught up with other threads and spaced it. I'll make one for next weekend. Glad they had a good battle today for sure.

Just looking at the stats, a few things stand out. First, it appears that Kiune Fletcher will make a real impact this season, perhaps similar to Petofsky last year. Second, all of our outsides hit for good percentages. Third, Haury seems to be connecting well with the hitters, as she had substantially more assists than Wilson. That was true of the exhibition win last week as well. I assume the Huskies are running a 6-2. If so, Haury is piling up more assists than Wilson. Offensively, we need more production at middle. That may take a while.

One more thing stands out in the stats and was noted by Leslie Gabriel after the match: UW dug 56 balls, Montana State 38. Let's hope this is a sign of improved floor D.

It's a good question and one we are not used to contemplating. I can't say I've seen any signs of dissension or unhappiness, but I'm just a fan looking from the outside. If anyone does signal their intention to leave, it could be a problem but more likely an opportunity. My prediction is Greeny snatches Bush(strong WSU ties) and maybe Bays who both have strong West Coast ties and probably want to stay in a reformulated PAC. if only greeny was able to snatch bush, they sure could use it this season 🥲

I watched some of the second set last night and that is what I noticed as well. I didn't see much of Audra Wilmes and there were a lot of subs.

It was classic 6-2 with Huary/Fletcher and Wilson/Bush. Heard for Endsley in the backrow. They subbed in Huard for Fletcher in the back row late in the 2nd set because they don’t have enough subs left.

Just watched the Montana State match. Very poor first contact all around. If Endsley is going to be the floor in the passing rotation for half the match, it's really going to test UW at the margins out of system. If we can have a repeat of 2020-2021 where the Huskies did extremely well out of system (good bump sets and nice high hand swings), the ceiling for this team is pretty good. Not quite Elite 8, but I could see a strong regional push...we have the upside on the pins.

Disappointing to hear that first contact is still a struggle. Seems like the 6-2 is the best way to keep the strengths of Bush-Endsley-Fletcher-Barton in the front row to always have 2 outlet hitters. Makes me think that any passing potential on the bench doesn’t outweigh the offensive upside of the aforementioned group of 4 hitters. Any thoughts on the skills of the Haury-Wilson setting duo?
