24. nah just a clueless assessment other than hawai’i being volatile. odd choice is right, but that word is accurate. not to her blogging of course. her words dont mean jack crack.

na wahine is volatile and that makes them dangerous to duke and washington. washington is likely growing soft having getting to host and with the regional. hawai’i is the #6 blocking team in the nation just like byu last year and has the best service ace per set in the conference. all we need is mendoza and any other libero to roam for every ball to dig and that means sarah bear needs to be faster.

26. true cubi, and some of the harsher ones were deleted because it got very personal and poor tasted. Happy for my filters that catch some of the ugliness.

We said from the very beginning there would be growing pains. It’s a young team. All you have to do is look at the box from 2 years ago. Of the Wahine who played, only 3 got in against the Huskies in 2012 and only Adolpho played in all five sets. and only two others left over from that team in Long and Manu-Olevao.

When you look at the losses, the only bad ones were against ASU and CSUN. The others were winnable. And in two cases, had Hawaii managed to hang on and win Set 1 against UCLA and Long Beach State (the second time) might have been different outcomes.

eh, the AVCA blogger’s comments are on par with many hawaii fans’ comments this season. some fans have been more brutal in their assessment.

no pressure on this year’s wahine. just play loose and go for broke …

I just want to tell na Wahine, “Go for IT!!!!!” Focus and play your hearts out. This is the best time to peak. All of you that write regularly with negative comments, you need to show your support and NOT bring in negativity while our Wahine are in the playoffs. GO BOWS!!!!!

23. not a bad assessment overall except for she was surprised about them making it in. based on all the criteria we know, it was never in doubt.
Hawaii has been up and down. She obviously was unaware of Taylor’s injury which did affect the team early.
Odd choice of word volatile.
In the end, do her comments really matter?

11. Thanks Wildcard, for mentioning that. I checked it out on the AVCA site, and Stadick seems to have very little regard for Na Wahine:

“Hawai’i is not the team they have been the past few seasons. I’m honestly a little shocked they made the field of 64. Duke is athletic, driven and straight up good this season. They’ve got a few athletes that can take over, and that’s exactly what I expect to happen. Hawai’i might surprise me and challenge them a bit, but I don’t think it’s likely. They’re just too volatile this season.”

She’s entitled to her opinion, but I hope Na Wahine make her eat her words.

11. Yes if Hawaii makes it to the second round, OCSports is not available. Pac-12 Networks will take over if Washington is playing.

#4. E-mailed the Big West site administrators, pointing out the wrong date for the Duke/Hawaii match and the fact that both OC 16 and ESPN3 will be providing coverage for the match. I got a quick response saying that they are planning to correct the date and update the TV/Video listings. However, I was a bit confused when they said they plan to update it by and for Saturday (?).

In reply to kauaiboi58. 1. and all other questions about TV YES YES YES but if you still need to ask, perhaps you should contact Oceanic since I don't work for them.
