hawaii is the underdog in every respect tonight. which sometimes puts more pressure on the favorite. maybe. hawaii, for sure, has a real chance at the upset, but it will take a tremendous effort to (1) bother texas enough and force them out-of-system, and then (2) defendant texas’ out-of-system swings, because webster and eckerman can still terminate no matter the situation.

i like the fact that both teams bring back a lot of their lineup. both lose a primary passer/defender (mcneal for texas, and of course, croson for hawaii), but hawaii loses more offense with the loss of that player as well. still though, this is a great matchup between two teams that have the capability of playing as if in midseason form, right at the starting gate. win or lose, i’m hoping for a high quality match.

Warriorfan — i’ve been watching the WGP matches as well, and it’s a thoroughly disappointing showing by the US team so far. no one is playing well for them right now, with maybe the exception of Kelly Murphy. granted, this is by no means the “A” team. it’s barely the “B” team. and they did open the final round with 2 of their first 3 matches against brazil (who beatdown on this US squad) and china (who is now led by former US coach Lang Ping). still though, you always want to see the US team be competitive.

i agree, i’d like to see what some past (Kanani) and present (Hartong) wahine can do for the national team.

32. don’t remember if that’s true about the first tournament. Again, it’s a TV decision.

Cindy, if Oceanic holds true to what they have done the previous 2 years. Both matches in the next 2 tournaments should be televised. From all recollection they have never televised both games, in the first tournament.

I honestly don’t see Emily having any trouble outdoing hill. hartong is improving soo much in passing and offensively she’s better and also a quicker athlete.

Why mention football here? This is Volleyshots dedicated to volleyball. If we can distract here, then we can also discuss the USA team. I wasn’t able to watch the match, only read about it and its stats. China is now the rising star having beaten USA 3-0, also the only undefeated team in the FIVB Grand Prix. They have a new star player, Zhu Ting, 6’5″ and only 18 years old and she’s scored more points than anyone else in either team. We sure need Destinee Hooker back in the lineup. I heard she’s taken a year off to have a baby. So hopefully she’ll return next year or the year after and give China some needed challenge. Maybe Emily Hartong can make the team and outdo Kim Hill. For now it will be interesting to see how Brazil and China will duke it out with each other.

18. unaware of the swooning over Poppinga during the rare televised match from Klum Gym. He was pretty committed to Karrie Trieschman even back then. Still married to her, 2 lovely and very tall daughters. He is recouping from hip replacement surgery. They live in Austin. Very good friends with UT coach Elliott since their days together at UH
Speaking of nice looking men, Carlos Briceno will be back in the arena this week. Daughter plays for USD.
