These are the semis already. so that would get em to the final

NT 16 troy 13 We totally control them at the net and pick up everything in the backfield. Troy cannot buy an attack that goes past block and defenders right now

12-11 NT We are blocking great, they have real trouble finding holes. Dillard is pretty much our attack, but she is so good that might be enough. If we can stabilize reseption or put a bit more pressure on em with our service that should be enough.

you don't need to be an expert to say that this is true does 3 volley practices a week make me an expert?

great, great set. Nt up 2-1om sets now

no

Sure do. both defenses good, we make a lot less mistakes in offense.

Thanks for the updates. Finally here to watch. How did they play so far? Anyone particularly good? something giving us particular trouble?

Thanks for organizing all of this Harry

have to give it to you, a) is ture b ) rhimes

4 PM looks like. link to match stream will be posted on the sunbelt site

me thinks there is a game tonight

And NT wins 3-1 good effort. Semis against troy tomorrow. Will be underdogs, but the team has been on a nice little run here towards the end of the season

MTSU 18 NT 17 in the 4th. had lots of trouble in reception at the begining, settled down and went on a run and now having trouble finding a way past the block, but at least blocking the middle great and defending well on our side.

set 3 to MTSU: 23-25

Watching the lady eagels in the quarters... up 2 sets to none against MTSU

While I do not think we should call for his head, I do think starting the most hyped team of the decade of to a sason with the most embarassing loss of the decade (and it would have been that for any of the last 10 squads) should earn you to be put on immediate notice. If things pick up, well then this is just one embarassing loss... but if it turns out, that our so far small sample even halfway adequately prdeicts what will happen during the season; if this is just another up and down season: then he does not deserve a second season. NT has given too many coaches that were obvious not to get a turnaround done to much time. And if we say NT, then the man in charge of those decisions was RV. So if he takes flack for those I think this is deserved (although there are also some real important successes for the Program by RV also @ Harry while I get that lastly we should also hold the players responsible, the coach s responsible to advance their development and the AD is responsible to pick the right man to advance it... UAH showed that the offseason was not very succesful at furthering that development in some key areas.

Just imagine how bad it would be if he hadn't

Let us wait a few more games to see a turnaround, say 5-7 games. If it does not get better by then then I will forgive RV for his mistake and hope the powers that be will also - provided he acts quick enough. If he takes Todd Dodge time or Shanice stephens time to act however he proves it is time for him too..... If there is a turnaround however, then we will all remember this episode as really embarrassing but be proud that we remaind solid green through the bad times

To the topic of th thread: this is really bad, as bad as bad losses go and I will go on record and say that I am for firing the coach during the season if this becomes a lasting trend, cause he is not gonna get higher rated recruits than this unless there is a turnaround first.... but I do have to say this is unfair to Coach Stephens: Coach Benford only has 1 really bad loss and an understandable (though badly played) one, this can cannot be compared to the levels of prolonged futility that coach S. has accomplished at NT, a level which is truely HOF (Hall of futility) worthy. It was not just the tactical ineptitude but really also the impecable capacity to run off, both her staff and her players. I believe a coach has to have at least a season and a half time to deserevedly be named in the same breath as Coach S. ... I thus hope that if someone is this bad, we will not afford them the time to achieve this status

I was quite confused there for a second. I would not have been surprised to see the FB player transfer out, because with Bball and all it has been that kind of a week

ok, just realized that the second best thing about yesterdays gme is, that they get a chance to (slightly) redeem themselves today. the best thing remains that yesterdays game will not show up on the RPI

The best thing about this game is, that it does not show up in the RPI....other than that....

...but...but... this way the program grows....but...but... what is going to happen to all the naysayers now? Are you gonna leave those poor souls without a home?

And now for the positives: this is the first season in like forever, where this team kept the QB healthy through 10 games... although I am not sure some here would not be willing to trade a healthy DT for a healthy JimJim.
