This team is hard to watch.

I have not been watching matches, but volleyball is down compared to their standard.  Dropping sets where in past Texas would have swept easily without much fanfare.

It's not lack of talent so only thing I can point to is coaching, Eric Sullivan apparently was the cog in the machine.  Team has not been as dominant since he left.  And the middle blocker position has dropped off dramatically.  Texas was pumping out Olympians left and right until he left.

Anyone know why Spears wasn't playing?

Don’t let them beat you twice…

[Pocono longhorn]

Maybe if he would actually play Swindle they wouldn't look like ass. Does Elliot always look like he is just mailing it in?

[Pocono longhorn]

Seems as though he has benched Spears, she will be gone after the season.

Swept by ou, program is downward spiral right now.  And he’s not playing his best players?  Malpractice at this point.

Feels like something going on , just too much talent to be so mediocre. We know due to trophies it is not the coaching ability. Ability being the key word.

Like Sark, Elliott is stuck in his ways and is willing to go down with the ship as long as they win or lose that way.

I really like watching Texas matches (Not so much this year) but in no way consider myself a volleyball expert so why has the team fallen so far this year? Is the talent overrated? Did Elliot forget how to coach? Not that long ago Texas getting swept by a mediocre Oklahoma team would be unheard of now its not even surprising
