I am not expecting the Wahine Team to be flying back and forth. Once they leave for the mainland on either Tuesday (Nov. 19), or Wednesday (Nov. 20), do not expect the Wahine Team to fly back to Hawaii, until their Volleyball season is officially over. That also means, missing a lot of class time, and quite possibly taking Finals while on the mainland. With this schedule, they probably aren't going to fly back and forth. That is a good thing, and that is the point. If they know the schedule ahead of time, they are completely capable of working out exam schedules/proctoring and whatever else they need to to do. You are trying to make a problem when there isn't one. You make it sound like living out of a suitcase for 2, 3, or 4 weeks is fun. Not sleeping in your own bed and such is also fun times. Let me tell you, it can get quite exhausting after a time, both mentally, and physically. It will eventually catch up to the Wahine Team. It did last season.

Maybe so, but knowing ahead of time allows you to plan. Do you think that Robin does not understand how traveling, traveling schedules and being away from home feels like? I am certain she understands that it is better to be away a whole month with a plan than to fly back and forth at the end of the regular season.

Thank you for posting! At first glance, I like this schedule and can't wait for the Wahine to take it on. Go Bows! Yea same! Honestly not a bad schedule, will be a challenging off season for the Wahine which I think is necessary for how new this group will be.

Thanks for posting. 2 things about the Wahine schedule. 1. The Wahine only play Cal State Bakerfield, at their place, and CSUN, at Simplifi Arena, only once. 2. The BWC did not do the Wahine Team any favors. The Wahine have to play their last 2 regular conference match at Cal State Fullerton (Friday), then UC Irvine (Saturday). Do not believe the Wahine team will return home, but stay at UC Irvine for the BWC Tournament, which is at IC Irvine. Then if by chance they get invited to the NCAA Tournament, will continue to stay on the Mainland. Which could mean, the Wahine team will be on the mainland for approximately 3 to 4 weeks, if not more, depending how they do in the NCAA Tournament. My SWAG: Wahine will fly home after the Big West tournament because the NCAA will pay travel expenses from Honolulu.

My body couldn't handle it now but it was more fun when I was in college and I definitely could have handled it then. I'm still pissed at the time we flew back between early rounds and regionals and they suffered a terrible loss. (Michigan State?) Either way, they could fly home after the BWC tournament as someone said. We don't even know they'll make the NCAA's yet--it's not 100% with this team.

Nice! I played for Coach Tommy for one season of club when I was entering high school. He was a good coach who helped us get comfortable with the game being chaotic while giving us tools to employ when the matches got out of hand. He was famous for calling timeouts after 1 or 2 points. 🤣 Small world! Yeah Coach Tommy was awesome. He really helped mold my daughter into a pretty good all-around OH. Without his coaching my daughter on how to be an OH I don't think she would have gotten all the scholarship offers that she had. She had 8 or 9 scholarship offers her senior year. So funny that you mentioned that he liked to call early time-outs! I remember one tournament where he did that on like the 2nd or 3rd point and when I asked my daughter about it after the match she said he said that he "just didn't feel right" so he called a TO. He also never really say anything to the players or really coached them during that TO either! So funny! Haha! Yes, it was mostly just to calm us down if he felt like we were tight. He rarely spoke during some of those very early TO.

Say what you want about Robyn, but ma'am stay taking her squads to Texas to play some of the best teams in the country and she got a whole attitude on the sideline while they're at it. 🤣

The conference has never done the Wahine any favors. The schedule has been stacked against UH for years.

VS Madfrog 17s. Yikes! Chalei got yanked early, she better shore up her passing She has regressed quite a bit to me. I hope she has a strong senior seasons in high school and club. She has the tools to be really good! Also maybe I’m mistaken but wasn’t Purcell supposed to be on this team as well?

I like the schedule! My only question is that it’s pretty weird for them to go to Nevada just for one game with UNLV. And the Tuesday games are new and more frequent this season

Also, is it possible RAM could have any beach players join for indoor for depth

And the Tuesday games are new and more frequent this season I am sure the girls won’t mind an extra trip to Vegas and at least the flight is 2h shorter coming from Hawaii to Vegas, then they can just fly Vegas to Austin which isn’t that bad of a flight
