First of all congrats to GCU. Secondly, I think Hawaii over UCLA is a little silly. Hawaiis schedule has been really soft and they still lost a game. UCLA has struggled a lot but they have big wins against Irvine and long beach I get it you're a UCLA fan. But you're not on the voting panel. Maybe you should email the coaches that are on it and tell them where you think Hawaii should be in the poll. UCLA should be lower imo, they split with BYU. đź« |

UCLA has struggled a lot but they have big wins against Irvine and long beach You can’t have a strong schedule but lose a lot. I think UCLA should be ranked lower than what they are. They still carry bias of winning last year. They are clearly NOT the same championship team. |

There’s no way you could justify putting UCLA any lower, because the teams that are ranked lower than them have worse records, and UCLA has quality wins |

Last time someone recruited someone to do it (via Vtalk) they got busted. Any of you Hawaiians out there have pull with the TV stations? |

Last time someone recruited someone to do it (via Vtalk) they got busted. Any of you Hawaiians out there have pull with the TV stations? Rob…you are well known enough in the volleyball world to have some pull. Go email the UH volleyball office and ask if they can just install a still cam somewhere to help out folks on the mainland. I believe, Hawaii had one women basketball games that was not on any TV but they were able to stream that game. I know a non Hawaii game is not the same as Hawaii games but they might be able to help if you beg them enough.  Ushers at the SSC are known to be Hitler-like so anybody seen holding a camera for long periods of time will be approached. If UH or anybody associated with UH were to stream it, those Hitler-like ushers cannot do squat. |

Maybe someone can bring it up to him then??
Or better yet email the AD directly! |

They still carry bias of winning last year. They are clearly NOT the same championship team. 12-4 with the toughest schedule in the country is not losing a lot. Sweep of UCI, split with Long Beach, beating Penn State, a five set loss to Ohio State is more impressive than a 12-1 Hawaii team whose best win is Stanford (8-6) with oppenets like Emmanuel, Tusculum, Missouri AT&T, St. Francis...You did beat a 9-8 Loyola team but then lost. Let's be rational. Hawaii is good, however they are untested and their schedule to this point is a bit embarrassing. Why with athletes of Hawaii's caliber would you schedule this way? Their schedule should be closer to the top of the NCAA. Quality wins mean something. |

Their schedule should be closer to the top of the NCAA. Quality wins mean something. When you lose your player of the year, go to Oppo, middle and then starting Libero and have mostly new pieces on that floor minus your two pins and AA middle then you don't want to schedule a murderers row. I agree the schedule could have been a little more challenging but when people like YOU b*tch about our schedule but then it's the same program whom has been to 4 straight finals and have the most success since 2015....then I'd hush that mouth just a bit. What's the point in that when the Outrigger and your conference schedule already prepares you for the post season?? Also, can we point out to UCSB whom schedules a gauntlet of a schedule year after year and basically offs themselves before the conference season even starts? Should we go that route? Talking about UCLA as if you are hot s***....you lost to UCSB a team Hawaii hasn't lost to in YEARS and barely scrapped by BYU whom got blitzed by GCU the week prior. You had to pray to the gawds for someone or anyone on your squad to come through after rotating 5 different players at libero just for Champlain to get hot at the right time. Good job....UCLA and all its spoils on the bench deserves a friggen cookie! ** insert Gui Voss' golf clap here** You are the same creep whom complained the most in 2022 about our schedule and was shut the hell up after. Literally when poof be gone after that win. Lol So I'd keep quiet and let the season play out. Thanks. UCLA is good....and yes your schedule is great. But you have 4 losses and so your asses deserve to be below Hawaii. |

Or better yet email the AD directly! Not gonna happen. He doesn't control that unfortunately. When Hawaii use to have live telecast all 6 games for the Outrigger....no one including mainland fans didn't give a s***. Lol So they stopped it cause they lost money. |

I don’t think anyone was saying they should be above Hawaii. But the poster that was saying UCLA should be ranked lower than they are is absolutely insane. No way you watch college ball and come up with that take . As it stands right now, I totally agree, Hawaii belongs in front of UCLA |

I did say that UCLA should be ahead of Hawaii.
Why are people so angry on this website. I am just happy to have found somewhere to talk about mens college volleyball. It is a niche sport and I don't really know anyone who enjoys it the way I do. Weird to come on here and share a fairly uncontroversial opinion and have people get very upset lol
