Which year was that? I swear I went to that game but could not remember the year. I think it was one of the first 3 games of that year.

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Volleyball Associate Head Coach Erik Sullivan has been named the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, USA Volleyball announced on Monday. The search for Sullivan's replacement will begin immediately. Sullivan completed his 14th season on the Texas Volleyball coaching staff in 2024, where he worked with the liberos and middle blockers, while developing Texas' team defensive systems and scouting reports. In his 14 seasons with the Longhorns, Sullivan helped the program compile 368 total wins, 12 Conference Championships, eight NCAA Final Four appearances, 12 NCAA Regional Final ("Elite 8") appearances and the 2012, 2022 and 2023 National Championships. "I'm honored and excited to take on this new responsibility as head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team," said Sullivan. "Karch Kiraly has left an incredible legacy, and I'm committed to continuing the work he has done with this amazing team. My goal is to build on a strong foundation and create an environment where our athletes can develop to their fullest potential while competing at the highest level. I look forward to working alongside this talented group of athletes as we prepare for the challenges ahead." Sullivan brings more than just a proven track record in collegiate volleyball—he has firsthand experience on the international stage. A two-time Olympian, he represented the U.S. as a libero in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games. His international playing career, which also included stints in professional leagues across Europe and the U.S., has given him a deep understanding of the global volleyball landscape and the demands of international competition. Sullivan served as the team leader for the U.S. Men's National Team at the last three Olympic Games and has been a consultant coach for the squad for many years. He's also part of the National Team Development Program Scouting Network for indoor girls. In 2011, he led the U.S. Women's Junior National Team to a fourth-place finish at the World Championship. His collegiate coaching experience also includes time as an assistant coach at both Nebraska and Colorado. "I'm thrilled that Erik Sullivan will be the next head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team," said two-time Olympian and Longhorn legend Chiaka Ogbogu. "The team will continue its tradition of being led by a world-class coach, and Erik's experience as an Olympian will be invaluable. The volleyball knowledge I gained from him continues to shape my game, but the leadership lessons he taught me—about upholding a gold-medal standard—are what I'm most grateful for." Sullivan will assume the role in preparation for the upcoming international season, with a primary focus on building toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. He will work closely with the team and the coaching staff to ensure a smooth transition and continued success on the international stage.

What causes an immediately collapsing pocket, Daddy?

When Potential = Perfect, it is seldom attained.

Truly surprising how newbie fans have so much more expertise than head coaches. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A lot of negative Nancies posting here. They seem to forget about the post Colt non Ehlinger years. 😟🤗

Newbie casual bandwagon fans have no perspective nor loyalty to their newly adopted team.

Bowl money had a great influence on the ND decision. Texas being #1 did not hurt, either.

Texas vs. Tennessee in 1969 was very cold but clear. Dumb poles with the PA speakers at field level was rather tacky.

Amphetamines work in about 20 minutes on a full stomach.

Mid January.

.... should have beaten ..... It is a strong verb.

You heard people say ..... 🤦🏻‍♂️

.... piqued your interest ..... Homonyms with different meanings.

Face mask to face mask does not involve the crown of either helmet. There was no launch nor lowering of the helmet, either. I saw it not called in another game this year.

Who out coached whom?

UO and UW are on the quarter system.

He has 5 days after his team's last games as he is already enrolled.

Come on down Ryan Williams!!! 🤘🏻🏈🤘🏼🏈🤘🏈🤘🏽🏈🤘🏾🏈🤘🏿

He needs to improve on route running and ball catching. He could move up in the draft if he returned.

Lourd developed and became more than passable. I wonder whatever became of Charles Wright? 🤔

I believe Jackson did play some TE in high school.
