Long Beach State Athletics!: Re: oh please 2

Just hope Lucas Helle is as good as advertised. We need him to take over the setter job ASAP. We can't hang another banner with Jake just as we couldn't with Aiden for 4 years. If Irvine pulls this off it would be a enormous upset and a real choke job by Haw. Watched one of the Haw and Irv matches earlier this year. Haw is simply better at every position including coaching. Hawaii would have to collapse ala the 4th set of the big west
Championship. I don't see a repeat of that fiasco.

That's why you play the matches and really there is not much separating the top teams. Concerning the disputed call. It tied the match and UCLA had just as much chance to win from that point forward as UCI. The Anteaters won the next two points and deserve the match. UCLA is a very good team but UCI hung with them and at the end won the match. No one was robbed especially the fans. I think it's a feel good story that UCI was able to make the tournament and beat the teams they needed to beat to make the final.

Are you serious? Hawaii has beaten the crap out of Irv twice this year. It's difficult to envision Monday being any different. Nobody is going to care much about this match other than a few million Haw fans and a few dozen Irv fans. A championship match with Haw and UCLA would have much more interest among men's volleyball fans. UCLA is going to have early season struggles without Rowan next season. Yeah they have Sean Kelly returning but you don't easily replace a player of Rowan's caliber.

VOlleyball fans got robbed of nothing.

they may have 10,000 again for Monday with Irvine hungry for a national championship

champions overcome adversity. they had two point blank attacks to win a match and failed, coaching staff has to have players ready for anything. for all the crap and hypocrisy with UCLA sports over the years, karma has a way of dishing out justice

Rowan is great, got his deserving award. UCLA was very good but also an offensive team that could be disrupted as the top teams that played them showed

crazy that an Irvine team that we dominated and Hawaii dominated may be able to squeak out a national championship. not that there'd be joy in going 3-0 vs the NC, lol

Volleyball fans got robbed of a potential great match between Hawaii and UCLA on Monday. Poor Rowan won't get a shot at his 3rd title because of that phantom call. He's already lost out on 4 straight when Moni took him to school last year. Still he will go down as one of the UCLA greats.

Hard to believe this dude is a freshman. He's going to be scary in 2 or 3 years. I knew we weren't going to be hanging any additional banners during Aidan's 4 years and it's dejavu with Jake setting. Big question for me is can Lucas Hell snag the starting setter spot next season. Hawaii with just too much firepower for us. Bloom and Hillis are good players but they aren't a healthy Kandev. Good luck to Varga and Woj in the pro's
