Having to reverse sweep OSU indicates where the talent level is Oregon State is not very good and hasn't been good for a while now so not sure what that says about our team that we struggled and had to reverse sweep them at home no less. The funny thing is my daughter and I were talking with some of the other boosters last night and one of them was mentioning that the talent level of this team is down compared to years past and one of them joked that with the talent level we have on this team he would kill for a player like Tai Manu Olevao...and we all laughed. Ya’ll must still be living in the past. I love this young Wahine team. They find ways to win.

LOL...this particular booster that made that joke is in his 30's so not sure you can consider him old (unless maybe you're a child?) but if that makes you feel better to disparage our kupuna boosters the way you did that says a lot about you and the kind of respect you have for our kupuna.... erm im pretty sure noblesol is in their 80s or something or BIK's age lol. I’m still pretty young. When I first started going to Wahine Volleyball back in 1990, I was the same age as the players.

I like the spirit of this team and their never give up attitude but yeah I guess I am living in the past to some extent. Maybe I should just give up living in the past and hoping we can return our team to it's glory days. I suppose that's what happens when you reach your 60's LOL

There is truth to this. Last night's match one was of the worst I've seen in a long time lol It was truly hilarious. I'm still proud of the team for showing more character and clawing their way to a win. Volleyball is chaotic in nature after all. Though, I do want to see some cleanliness as far as the play/execution of skills but that's the volleyball player and coach in me talking. Robyn's teams, even 2019, are not clean but they fight hard! So far, though 2024 team lacks pure talent, they have shown that they have good synergy. Also, Robyn has wonderful volleyball IQ and savvy which allows her to adjust in creative ways. I'll take it.

They have a lot of heart and no one can take that away from them. This team - although not as talented, reminds me of one of my favorite Wahine teams of all time - the 2016 team. That 2016 team was a fun bunch and they never gave up either.

In my opinion, I feel like almost all of the Wahine teams have had good fight in them, especially since teams started getting bigger and better. But Robyn's teams have a special punchiness to them and it's so entertaining to watch when they're going up and up with teams that may have more in the way of physicality, talent or skill.

Ya’ll must still be living in the past. I love this young Wahine team. They find ways to win. I get the nostalgia for the glory days of the past, but the truth is that it’s hard for any mid-major to out-spend or out-recruit the big money schools—but it’s still possible to out-coach them. And regardless of whether fans like or appreciate Robyn, she has consistently out-coached every other Big West coach (and will probably continue to do so), and a lot of other coaches along the way, even the splashy hires (I’m lookin’ at you, Tyler). As long as she continues to make the NCAA tournament, there’s still hope and potential for the Wahine program.

Aunty can be stubborn at times, but her knack for understanding the game, and what needs to be done is second to none The wahine have had been down with her talent wise (minus 2019) and that’s not her fault but they still fought. They have rarely ever been dismantled. Sometimes yes but for the most part, they have always fought. When she had her best team, she guided them to a regional semi and would have made it father of Jolie was never injured. Robyn would land ALOT of power four jobs if she wanted too She’s also hilarious
