31. Obviously, any of the non-starting left sides will be options on the right. As for being wrong, weren’t you the one who was so sure Ginger Long would start last year?

Shoji needs to take some inhouse chances.

The women’s collegiate game needs to go the way of international ball.

Set the heck out of your opposite..everywhere on the 30×60.

Wrong again.

Manu-Olevao and Passi will keep one another honest throughout the ‘E’ntire season..on the right side of volleyball/things.

You don’t know locohs.

LS2 is fundamentally where action(s) will much neededly surface.

1. they weren’t adamantly against ‘your’ suggestion. they partnered with a TV station which chose not to broadcast.Agree with you about growing the game. They overlooked the success of the TV broadcasts in Hawaii. USAV not used to that and has gone along with the international way of doing things, which is streaming.
We’ll see if things change next summer when the men are in Hawaii.

22. good morning. catching up on the posts.
Don, there are very few matches this season on Thursday-Sunday and they never have a late match Sunday, mostly 5 p.m. That shouldn’t affect the youth leagues.
UH is playing Fri-Sat matches, not Thur-Sat matches in Big West because Shoji wanted to give fans the best chance to come (instead of putting it Thurs-Sat)
The big problem is … football comes first and volleyball has to schedule around that.
And Volleyball is accommodating women’s basketball, there are two 8 p.m. at the end of the regular season because of basketball tournaments. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice that they do this but volleyball is scheduled for 8 p.m. start. if any of those basketball games go to OT, volleyball is going to start really late. And that is not fair to those fans. I likely miss deadline for our first edition as well. Nov. 28-29

I think one of Huff and Maglio will redshirt, along with both Anderson and Guinasso, especially if Long will be a back row player.

CORRECTION: I don’t UNDERSTAND the logic, and the analogy of TV poker.

I don’t under the logic, and the analogy of TV poker. First of all, I don’t even have to look at TV ratings to guarantee that IN HAWAII, Wahine Volleyball on TV is much more viewed that TV poker. So if you are complaining about no local TV, I get the picture of you as a miser. As for the tickets prices for this match, $20 for Olympic-level talent is a bargain, even if you are a moderate vball fan. The crowds were good, no worse than in the much bigger LA metro area. The matches were played out of season- Wahine and Rainbow Warriors, and anecdotally, some I knew that would have attended were on family vacations. As far as popularity locally, most home matches for Wahine volleyball are telecast live, and tickets are likely the highest charged in the NCAA for women’s volleyball. Yet, they still lead the nation in attendance. The interest isn’t primarily really old people either. Volleyball is still popular at the youth club level and in company, union, and community leagues and the like- Jaycees, Okinawan, etc (20-50’s). If you are talking national interest, TV and general following, that is a completely different story. But seems as if you are complaining about lack of local TV coverage.

The problem with having a younger crowd is the Big West, Mountain West, and UH Athletics…scheduling matches on Thursday and Sunday nights negates the youth leagues, club leagues, and school groups from attending. Some matches this season are in the middle of weekend days, when club leagues, ILH/OIA girls volleyball, and others hold matches and practices. All three groups are also responsible for altering the schedule for volleyball to facilitate TV, promotions, and other “obligations” that a more organized university would be able to handle.
