    You are right, sir. The clothing choices are strategic.

    Note: if you scroll through article of volleyball attire you will find this tidbit.
    "Fun Fact: In the late 1920s, nudists or naturists took an interest in the sport. Around 1970, almost every naturist club had a volleyball court."

    I did not stay up and watch but it sounds like a heartbreaking way to end the season. Kids were asking me if they could stay up for it (not on a school night). Gonna be a shame not having another one to do Saturday instead.

    didn’t get to watch but sure looks that way. They are def trending in the right direction though.

    I have no idea what volleyball roster construction looks like. The two best players were seniors, as were one or two other starters. But the setter is a freshman, and I have no idea who else is behind them. The season they had this year suggests the coaching is probably solid.

    Danny White moving quickly to lock our coach down with a bag and an extension.

    Learned his lesson after losing the soccer coach to FSU 2 years ago, who just won the national title there.

    (Though to be fair, I’m not sure there was anything he could’ve done anyway. FSU is the best women’s soccer job in the country.)

    Welp, scraped into the tournament and just had a chance to go up two sets to one against Georgia Tech in the 7/10 game. Lost it 32-30 after having seven set points. Gross. Kinda doubt they come back after this, hope they prove me wrong

    I’m honestly surprised they got in. They weren’t very good this year. Only 8-8 in SEC and lost at home to a terrible UGA team.

    Hanging on in set four, but probably going to extras again.

    Lost nine consecutive set points but just won one to keep the season going at least two points longer

    Just gave up a 4-0 run, including a call that nobody except the ref believed. Just when I thought they were going to pull this off

    Eh, they gave it a good go. I know they lost a ton from last year’s team. Will next year be better? Who knows, I pretty much only watch the tournament. Outscored GT, just went 1-2 in the tight sets.

    If they had won they were just going to get pantsed by Wisconsin next round anyway.
