It was 2011 – I remember because my Bruins went under the radar all the way to the title, and I was in Malibu on Thurs when Pepperdine beat Mo. St. and UNC surprised Cal, only to be beaten the next night while I went to UCLA’s round-of-64 matches. And after USC Shoji was quoted as saying (sarcastically) “that was a pretty good match between the 7th and 10th best teams in the country”.

Has anyone said it yet: “OCCUPY OCSports!”

The whole Occupy thing made popular among VB fans years ago by Mick Haley’s “OCCUPY NCAA” when yet another ridiculous bracket came out. Does anyone remember what year? I think that’s when we lost to SC in 5 in the semfinals of the regional that we hosted. SC went on to play Pepperdine? Pepperdine defeated Kansas State to reach that Regional Final. Kansas State w/Kuulei Kabalis defeated Nebraska to get to Hawaii? Did I mix my years and regionals up?

Got the same generic reply from OC Sports. There are enough “stuff” in the response that you are not sure if the issue is contractual, technical, business or a blend of them all. First, I appreciate the fact that Dan told the time out to reply. Second, I truly hope that he is working on it. Lastly, we need to press the university on what the heck they are doing to support the alumni and fans – or don’t ask for any more donation. Go get it fix!

42. Oops. I meant to reply to your #38 post where you updated us on your reply from Schmidt and told us they’ve already had discussions with the BW, which I found hopeful. Sorry for the typo.

39. of course there’s hope. why wouldn’t there be? they may struggle until getting Taylor, then Mitchem back but they should be fine. It is unfortunate that they aren’t at full strength for the tournaments.

Last year after moving to the mainland 20 years ago I really got into Wagine volleyball again by watching online. So much so that I’m flying to Hawaii for a tournament. Sad that those will be one of the few games I see all year, as I won’t be able to travel even locally this fall. What makes volleyball so addicting to me is being able to see the girls’ faces up close and the feeling that you’re getting to know them all year.

35 Thanks for the update, Cindy. Sounds like there’s still hope for this season.

34 Fully agree with you. The only thing I like about Charter is their internet service. “I cut the cord” and now get all my TV off the air and via online services for much cheaper.

Did talk to Schmidt. as he has told others, they are trying to work things out and hopes to do so in a timely manner. They’ve had discussions with the Big West already.

Practice is over.
Shoji said he is not ready to announce his lineup. Has more discussions with his staff.
