Stanford has trouble with fast offenses, UCLA beat them twice. (Hello, Russ Rose.) Stanford swept Penn State early this season.

Difficult to master but unstoppable, the fast offense was used by Kanoe Kamana’o; who set UH to an undefeated regular season. (This pre-dated Karch Kiraly’s and Mike Sealy’s implementations.)

BTW, Yes I know UCLA won it all just a few years ago…and USC a few in the 2000’s (April Ross years), but the dominant ‘hey-days’ of the CA schools (including LBSU and Pacific) as well as Hawaii were concentrated in the 80’s and 90’s.

Final 4 Appearances/Champion/Runnerup/Semifinalist

*Stanford 21/7/8/5
*Nebraska 14/4/3/6
*Penn St 13/7/3/2
UCLA 12/4/4/4
Texas 12/2/4/6
USC 10/3/1/6
Hawaii 9/3/2/4
*Florida 8/0/1/6
Long Beach St 8/3/2/3
Pacific 7/2/1/4
Minnesota 5/0/1/4

If Texas had been in Florida’s bracket and beat them (instead of losing to Stanford)… IMO it would have been ALL of the usual suspects of the past 15 years or so.

Snyder did NOT foot fault, I have rewatched the match on HD, at 1/4 the normal speed, and she did not foot fault, it was a clean serve

1, 2, and 3. yeah sc blew it on the fourth set and was helped on floridas second to last point (14th) in the fifth set when snyder did a jump serve ace. (should of been a foot fault as the server stepped on the line serving and that old man mick haley didnt even challenge it)

6 and 7. yeah your guess is as good as mine. if it be penn st vs stanford, it would be a super match. who takes the crown as most championships? how much of a revenge stanford wants? for stanford got a 6’6 that is plummer and 6’8 that islutz. however, for penn st got a 6’1 that is simone lee and 6’3 that is haleigh washington and they are fierce especially lee whom cumulated beating stanford as the defending national champion twice already, making them avca rank 1 and ncaa seed 1.

7, 8. Gosh I missed those losses to Penn St earlier. You are right. The Revenge Factor. My fault on thinking Inky but that other girl that has that similar last name?
I appreciate all the bloggers input. Very knowledgeable
