I love the Hawai’i announcers, and the Hawai’i broadcasts are the best in the NCAA, but it’s a very low bar. And speaking of low bars, where’s wahinefan so we can drag him for filth? Oh Phoebe? She was attempting to cast multiple spells for personal gain this weekend. Needless they say, they all backfired on her so shes dealing with the consequences right now. So Phoebe was the Charmed sister with multiple personalities? Yvonne, Steve, Laura?

I stopped in to see the first set against SMU, and first set against San Diego based on the comments in those two sets, I expected to wake up to an announcement that Hawaii was dropping WVB?! so hawaii fans are overly critical of their team ... and at the same time, are somehow not critical enough? ... hmm, funny how that works ... ;-)

Does anyone know why both of UH matches starts off by UH getting smashed in the first set, than the other sets, looks like they came to play. I still think Setter and Middles have yet to connect.

Her spells didn't work so now she talking about hoping players don't get injured!?! Another voodoo spell coming out of her Rachet mouth. Smh

Yes, and Rika Okino. Gianna Guinasso also saw time as a serving sub. Smith is a good comparison for Leyva but Leyva is already playing major minutes. She has the potential to be great. Both her and Tayli were solid last night. We could see a revival of the Smurfs backcourt this season (Villaroman/ Illustre) I actually thought smith was the first off the bench? esp in the pre season. I remember her getting pretty good playing time I actually thought smith was the first off the bench? esp in the pre season. I remember her getting pretty good playing time It was Emma Smith first off the bench to provide better passing. She was so smooth. I actually thought smith was the first off the bench? esp in the pre season. I remember her getting pretty good playing time Yes, Smith was No. 1 DS in 2016, with Kahakai at libero, and Guinasso, Clare-Marie Anderson and Katiana Ponce sharing serving duties. There was some (unfounded) talk that Ah Mow asked Smith to redshirt the following year, which led to her departure, and opening the door for Anderson to be DS #1 and Guinasso Serving Specialist #1.

I didn't realize until midweek of last week that the women's volleyball season was about to start. I really lost track of time. It didn't even dawn on me that we were in the month of August and we all know (or should know) August signals the start of preseason training camps throughout the college women's volleyball world.
So, I watched SMU vs. Hawaii and San Diego vs. Hawaii with pizza, salad, watermelon, brownies, and Diet cokes. I've never ever witnessed such atrocious Hawaii volleyball in the opening sets of both matches since I was born. Holy f---! I thought, what the hell were they doing in training camp? Even on sets they won, they made a lot of mistakes (e.g., serving errors, hitting out, passing errors, dum-dum set distribution). They weren't crisp. SMU is a really good team and they were probably thinking on the drive back to their hotel, "Like...how the hell did we lose?!?!"
I was very impressed with Victoria Leyva, a freshman who passed crazy good, along with Tayli Ikenaga. I wasn't as impressed with Stella Adeyemi the way everyone else was. In no way is she Kim Willoughby 2.0 the way people (including Ah Mow) were saying. Not only was Willoughby a god-like terminator, but she could pass and play phenomenal defense. Stella, I believe, was being subbed out when she rotated to the back row. I don't think Kate Lang improved from last season but she's their best option. But I love how she chased down bad passes and put up a decent set, although a few got out of hand (so to speak) and looked ugly AF. Caylen got too many swings. Her arms will fall off by midseason. Not impressed with the two middles: Jacyn Bamis and Mili Sylvester. I really really want to like Tali Hakas but she's not consistent enough as an attacker but she belongs on the court because she plays great floor defense and can pass decent. And she has an energy I love.
Ah Mow said she's more patient this season. I don't know. If you look at her on the sidelines, especially her facial expressions, body language, and her arms/hands, she looks like she wants to grab a large towel and scream into it.

At the end of the day we’re 2-0 and we’ll keep getting better. Plenty of stuff to work on but this team has fight and that’s important to see early.

Wanted to take a pic with her but didn't want to make it any more weird lol. Back when I used to work at Ala Moana Shopping Center, I used to see Nikki Taylor, Annie Mitchem, McKenna Granato and be like "omg they are so f@ckin tall." I'm 5'7. Lol. The only volleyball player I ever asked to take a pic with was Nohea Tano, back when I was volunteering for some grass volleyball tournament back in the early 2000's. I got to take a pic with Nohea Tano and I think it was Hedder Illustre (it was one of the DS from back then). She was such a nice person, easy to talk to, told her she was my favorite wahine volleyball athlete. Hence my original username.

Nikki Taylor used to go to scarlett (the gay club) all the time, and she was always very sweet Saw Kanani Danielson a few times and shes my good friends classmate so she hung out in our section for a little bit SUPER humble too. The nicest person I think I have ever met

The more I hear about these Wahine names of the past the more I’m thinking about whose door do we need to kick down to get a LOVB team on the islands?
