Every match is a new ‘quiz’ for this team.
They have to learn how to finish teams off, should have extended the match. Who’s know what would have happened…?

Good Luck in conference play.
Go’Bows!!!

The men do show up at the matches. Two things though. Many leave before the matches are over. The person who brought that “Viking” chant over to Hawaii was SVT and he is no longer here.

James Anastasiaades is also very active in getting the chant started, however he works the Stan Sheiff floor as some kind of “photographer” or something and is not appropriate for him to do stuff like that.

We need the band to start it. They are the large body of people needed so fans can clap along.

3. Nice design on your comments, almost poetic, lol! There is sooo much to root for with everyone stepping up!
12. You don’t think that prediction is too early since they haven’t played UCSB or Poly yet? Not being negative, just like to see how the Wahine will play with Jolie against them before sticking my toes into the water. By the way, thanks for the insight as usual, very thoughtful and provocative.
15. I hope the men’s volleyball team would show up in force at the Wahine’s games. They start that Viking chant (Woo, Woo) with the overhead hand claps at the end of the set that really gives me chicken skin when the whole SSC does it!
GO BOWS!!

Nice to see the Wahine move up despite the Baylor loss. Cant wait to see Baylor vs. Texas in Big 12 play. It’s pretty much certain Hawaii has a chance to slide into the top 10 as conference play goes along and if they take of business from here on out. I actually agree with Stanford at No. 1 again in the polls. Yes Baylor is still undefeated and has played a tough respectable schedule but Stanford played a suicidal preseason schedule themselves. I expect them to improve more as the season goes along. They’re still my pick to win the hardware this season

Would be awesome to see “The Stan” sold out and making a loud ruckus during Na Wahine games! Maybe new cheers at certain times during the game? Like a cheer when the other team is blocked, perhaps? I don’t know. Just thinking off the top of my head here. I like the tradition of clapping and chanting at the men’s volleyball games when they’re serving. It’s like a build up of a hurricane or something to that affect.

From the previous post (closed) from Cindy:” Pitt loses to Penn State , the Panhers jumping over the Nittany Lions to No. 4 and Penn State drops a spot to 5.”

The full story is: Pittsburgh swept PSU at PSU on Friday (Sept 20). Then PSU eeked out a 3-2 W (28-26, 21-25, 25-21,20-25, 16-14) over the host Panthers on Sunday (Sept 22). From an objective POV, I see nothing surprising about Pittsburgh being voted a rank better than Penn State.

Let the BW conference/regular season begin! Go Bows!

On another site, I saw UH’s projected final RPI rank at #9 with 4 total losses. Likely this will change, but there is a good possibility that UH will have the RPI and resume to host a subregional. If that projection holds, UH will have 2 victories over top 25 RPI teams, including one on a neutral court, and another against a 26-50 RPI team.

BW could also send two teams to the tourney. The current BW OOC winning percentage is .552. In 2013, when the BW sent 3 teams to the tourney (partly because of the trip-champion result), the reg. season OOC pct was .541. Last year, the reg. season OOC pct. was .536. UCSB is projected at #40 and Poly at #52. My odds are on UH and UCSB to be in the tourney.
