I wouldn't be suprised that our girls come out with a strong performance this weekend. Won't be travelling with 22 though.  |

Let's hope the team properly hydrates as they prepare the weekend's festivities. Colorado's high and dry environment is nothing to be trifled with. I'm hoping for a PSU sweep against the Buffs. The longer it goes, the more being acclimatized becomes a factor. Against Stanford, neither team has an environmental advantage.

Yeah, They have "their own" plane, right? Good question. What have they done in previous years? And how many will they bring? |

I suspect Broerman and Washington will help give team the 411 on Colorado.

If PSU had problems with UNC's size as someone alluded to, then we're really gonna have problems with Stanford.
They have players who are: 6'8", 6'6", 6'6", 6'4", 6'3", and 6'3" who've all played at some point in their previous matches
(those players are: Lutz, Fitzmorris, Plummer, Vanjak, Ajanaku, and Hodson, respectively). That's a serious blocking wall.

About to leave for Denver.
Since so many of you will be there, which brew pub do we meet at for an after match "hot wash?"

Do many of you have the PAC12 Network? i know DirecTV does not carry it. Last year, PSUMAUI indicated that the network made it difficult for him to record and playback the matches,
As far as publicizing the matches, it will be a challenge to get local media outlets reporting because today is "the Rocky Mountain Showdown" between Colorado and Colorado State. Coverage for that event will make it a challenge to promote the volleyball matches.

Stanford is clearly the tallest team (also with the hankiest web page). The others, however, appear pretty close. CAUTION may contain math errors.
