Always “half-full” mind you.
He’s good–ALWAYS!

UH’s situational ‘delima’ IF that’s what you’d care to deem it,

..UCLA *a la* 2009.

Da stumbling Bruins peak in/out as the #9 seed in the NCAAs to only end up in Austin, with a MIGHTY #2 Texas, halted in the 2nd Rnd (if you will).

that AVCA press release is interesting. if the ncaa and avca are now collaborating on hosting issues, that will be good thing, for coaches to be able to lobby or get their input in there.

but expanding the list of potential hosts can cut both ways for hawaii. the rule about “seeded teams automatically hosting” guaranteed that hawaii will host if it’s rpi and results earned them a seed.

but now even if hawaii is seeded, the expanded list of “possible” hosts could mean that hawaii is seeded but still get send on the road, which is what was happening prior to 2011 anyway. in part, i think this expansion takes things back to the status quo from a couple years ago.

but the flip side i guess is that hawaii can’t be denied a seed (if they’ve earned it), even if they don’t end up hosting.

this is one of those “is the glass half full … or half empty?” kind of situations … imo.

is there a link to the AVCA press release about the new/revised hosting criteria?

I find it refreshing that the NCAA and AVCA are finally starting to work together with this new change now if they can only get this cooperation extended to seeding.

See the link folks. LC’s info is totally wrong so don’t buy into it.

See for yourself.

Now that we know that Hawai`i will only have to finish in the Top 25 of either the AVCA Poll or the RPI or Pablo to host that should take a lot of pressure off of the kids.

Care to elaborate or are you just spitting into the wind again? My guess is you won’t share the contents because it won’t support your position — just like the quote from Ferd did not support you position.

Seriously, quote anything anywhere about an agreement between AVCA and the NCAA or any new rule changes to the NCAA selection committee guidelines. My guess is you will just spout off insults instead because you know you are wrong.

Oh wow I guess that e-mail reply from AVCA is even wrong.

I guess that new news that Pablo is now part of the criteria is also wrong. some many dumb clucks in this world.

Ahh, did I strike a nerve? It’s okay. I understand you are extremely touchy about being wrong.
