    Kosty’s last challenge was dumb. He should have kept it and would have overturned the final play.

      I’m with you. I’ve had the same refs at 6-Man as I have had at AVP. The refs who do BYU games also did US Nationals when it was in SLC and the men’s and women’s crews at BYU are many of the same people. These people are all good refs. The rough part is the men’s college game is hard to call. I wouldn’t even be willing to do line judge at a match. The ball moves too fast. On the other hand, I could do the women’s matches at BYU without difficulty.

          I agree. I hated being a line judge for that reason. Calling lines is difficult enough when the ball is flying. It's a joke that line judges can call touches. How's the line judge expected to see a finger grazed when the refs at the net can't even see it?

          I think challenges are mostly dumb. Video review is a joke pretty much anywhere but BYU unless the game is televised.

            They should put down a line like in beach so you can see it jump. Then you can focus on touches. smh The good part is, it goes both ways and doesn’t give a clear advantage.

              Back to BYU volleyball, Cyrus is dealing like a pro. I’m impressed.

                What in the world is up with this team? They were playing somewhat better a couple of weeks ago, then this week they get blown out by Concordia (???) and USC.

                It was kind of funny to watch the feed and see an old man and woman sitting by themselves in the front row behind the service line. They must be donors or something, but there was nobody around them.

                    due to the server migration underway, it looks like we lost the last two volleyball posts RE: Rupert was revealed to be an unscrupulous defalcating polygamist who met a very sorry end indeed ... pardon the pun

                    Someone want to take a stab at an alternate direction ?

                    EDIT: Clong was able to recover the lost posts, as seen below.

                        bestellen now belongs to the ages.

                            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                              Pelagius, have you been to any of the men's games? Is this a championship team? I realize many have been away, but will BYU challenge UCLA and Hawaii? Two matches are in Hawaii, IIRC.

                                Tonight's match was an impressive display of returning, blocking and hitting. Neither team served that well.
