Also faster tempo setting.  Very few moonball sets (high sets).

Easier to hit a stationary object.

Great sweep by Stanford (25-16, 25-21, 25-22).  Some astounding runs.

Texas's Skinner got a lot of air time but hit 0.00 with 13 kills but 13 errors.

Even a non-expert like me could see that Miner was hurting Texas by moving the ball around.

I recall the hand-wringing here about how Stanford didn't have what it takes to be the best.
And then, like last year, the complaints about the service errors. (It looks like Stanford was 70% vs Texas 55% on side-out,  despite Stanford having 13 service errors to Texas's 8)

It could be my imagination, but it seems to me that some other teams are moving in Hambly’s direction. I’ve been noticing a lot more aggressive serving, including Texas today.

JFK briefly attended Stanford in 1940, post Harvard and pre-WWII. Kennedy audited a few classes, “socialized”, recovered from a back injury, and anguished over what to do next as the US entry into WWII loomed large.  I’ve heard different stories about whether he ever enrolled in business school but he seems to have not been a serious student there in any case.

My mom was in a class with JFK.  She said
He was present once or twice
Did not know that (obvs).  Thanks.
