Agree totally with report that at least in the first game it did not appear that UK left a square inch of floor available for the ball to drop. Excellent come back by UL to pick apart their weaknesses. <br />I don't think that having such a crowd hurt either - 5000 on a week night - see you this weekend at the games. GO UL. <br />Sandy W Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-2851673379959687882012-08-31T07:24:12.516-04:002012-08-31T07:24:12.516-04:00Excellent piece Jeff!

If you critique and review basketball that well, I may be out of a volunteer gig.<br /><br />All joking aside, I have heard this in reference to basketball and I assume it goes for any sport, you seem to have a high volleyball IQ. Combine that with a passion for the game and the willingness to write about it, and Cardinal Couple readers are in for a treat! Great to have you on board!!!<br />JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-9996150426633179072012-08-31T05:56:50.025-04:002012-08-31T05:56:50.025-04:00Best review ever on Cardinal Couple (for me).

As a season ticket holder I am constantly frustrated by my lack of understanding of the finer (or even the coarser) points of competitive volleyball. I wish the coaches would hold a seminar for fans.<br /><br />Now if someone would fully explain the rules of the game. I am almost always befuddled by net calls. Yes I have read online rule description. I even took a class several years ago taught by Stephanie Marsh at UofL. As a 69 year old I was happy to receive an A+. I am still befuddled by net calls.

I'm good at watching what other people do and figuring out the patterns, studying documentation to learn the conceptual finer points, but translating that into action? It becomes pretty clear that I'm not a finely tuned athletic specimen at that point.JMcAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440193885039741934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-67037784780465479092012-08-30T18:28:20.103-04:002012-08-30T18:28:20.103-04:00Yes, it was warm in the arena. But I think you hi...Yes, it was warm in the arena. But I think you hit the nail on the head by pointing out that both teams looked pretty tired, not just one.<br /><br />I think it changed the way the 4th set was played...which is probably part of why we ended up with a 25 point game going to 30. Neither team was playing sharply enough by that point to easily create any separation. What were the numbers? 12 lead changes and 22 ties? That 4th set was a real grind-it-out affair. I think that played into the Cards hands ever so slightly...as we were up 2 games to 1 by that point, and for the most part were on the winning side of those ties...both factors that take a little of the pressure off and lift spirits to help persevere through the heat and fatigue.JMcAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440193885039741934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-7663201669531215592012-08-30T16:48:20.867-04:002012-08-30T16:48:20.867-04:00Very good technical breakdown of the action.
