Say what you will about the ACC Network. At least they don’t use a random number generator for the score graphic like the Big West network seems to be doing… :-0

What, you didn’t like the 45-4 score?


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - paloalto - 09-10-2024

Stanford down 20-21 in set 3.  Could use more enthusiasm.

Stanford in danger of losing set 3.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - mbdude - 09-10-2024

stanford appears to be standing still, as paloalto said no enthusiasm


76lsjumb - 76lsjumb - 09-10-2024

And now the graphic tells us they’re playing Men’s Volleyball…


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - paloalto - 09-10-2024

Everytime Yu comes in to serve the announcers say Stanford is now in a two setter system.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - mbdude - 09-10-2024

at least he has right person serving

Rubin has yet to take a full swing this set

But I gotta add, the announcers are realy good.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - paloalto - 09-10-2024

IMO Francis played the best for Stanford.

Not the Cardinal's best performance at times. Oh well, at the end of the season all the NCAA selection committee will notice is a win for Stanford.

Katie Spieler played on the AVP tour with Karissa Cook for a few years (mostly 2017 & 2018), and also played a couple of events in 2022 with Carly Wopat. She mentioned both of them being there to support the Cardinal. (She is from Santa Barbara, but played BVB for Hawaii.)

Unranked SMU swept #18 Baylor.

It really isn’t even a debate. Francis hit .563 with 9 blocks and the next best non-Kami player with more than 1 attack was Andrew at.182. Nobody else had more than 5 blocks either. Glad she was back.

I don’t know how the conference vs. ESPN responsibilities line up, but you can’t blame the ACC here. As a UCSB home game, this was a Big West broadcast though it all is under ESPN’s umbrella.

The road soccer broadcasts have been amusing too. My favorite was randomly assigning players into a 442 standard template, making it look like goalies were playing as forwards.

Stanford vs Pepperdine today at 6:00pm PT on ESPN+.  Pepperdine is another team with a deceptive record of 1-3.  The four matches were against good teams.  They have 11 players on the roster 6'0" or taller so they have the height to battle Stanford at the net.   The Cardinal better be on top of its game.  Hoping for a report from Spiny if he attends the match.

Random thoughts on the UCSB match:

I thought the female announcer should have been more knowledgeable in calling the game with her volleyball background.  However both announcers were very complimentary about Stanford.  They were even complimenting Stanford when we weren't playing well.  So I liked them.

Most of the time when Kirsch was in the game she was hidden from serve receive.  Unusual for a backrow sub to be in a position so she can't receive serve.  Not sure of the strategy for that.

Francis plays beach eh?


76lsjumb - 76lsjumb - 09-11-2024

At 7-12 in Set 1, Pepperdine called a timeout… so that the TV announcer could take a breath…


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - mbdude - 09-11-2024

Pringle needs to move her feet!

Oglivie is in a different league from Stanford's DSs.

Stanford wins set 1 25-18.   Stanford needs to do as much as possible when Francis is on the court. 

Kurt on a rampage in set 1.  Will it continue?


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 - johnbar - 09-11-2024

This announcer...yikes!

And he said Stanford is named after the former governor.

Well, if it goes five, I imagine he’ll pass out before it’s over…
