ESPNU starting at about 9:40 or so.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - cardfan77 - 12-07-2023

This is crazy. Stanford’s match will start at 9:40 pm ish. Hopefully this doesn’t affect Stanford negatively


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - Softball Fan - 12-07-2023

9:51 pm PT to be precise.  If it goes five sets it will end after 3:00am ET.  If Stanford doesn't play well, don't have to worry about anyone on the east coast watching.

Wow. TYVM. Hate espn.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - 81alum - 12-07-2023

I was wondering why the 1 seed was forced into this terrible time slot, while the 2 and 3 seeds got to lead off.  Seems it should be the other way around.

But this is an absolutely ridiculous start time.  TV corrupts everything it touches.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - M T - 12-07-2023

Dang, I could have stayed at work longer. 

I don’t care about Eastern Time, only about Stanford Student Time. I expect this is in their wheelhouse.

Texas and Tennessee are based in the Central Time Zone.

So what?  I thought the seeding determined the timeslot?  Having the higher seed does not confer the advantage if it runs counter to the convenience of ESPN's scheduling?

ESPN: "Just doing our part not to disadvantage teams from the eastern time zones playing out west (oh - and do what we think's best for viewer ratings)...."


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - M T - 12-07-2023

Texas and Tennessee each had a full band and twelve cheerleaders. 

Stanford has the band and two dollies.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - StanfordMatt - 12-07-2023

In the college baseball postseason, the higher seed and host chooses whether it wants to play first or second on the opening day even though those games are also broadcast on ESPN. Is that not the case in volleyball?


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - PAsportsfan - 12-07-2023

If Stanford played at 6pm people would be...complaining...they had to leave work early and fight the traffic getting to Maples.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - BosCard - 12-07-2023

Right now Stanford is trying to commit 25 errors and give Arizona St the set.

Middles struggling really badly in Set 1


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - BosCard - 12-07-2023

Arizona St strategy should be just free ball and every non Kipp attacker will make an error.


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - Hieronymus - 12-07-2023

Well first ace. Maybe first block? Better serving from Baird. Waking up now?

Or not. Another MB error.

Better. Fewer errors. Better serving. Block showed up. But I don’t think we pull this out with just Kipp and Rubin on offense.

Wow, 45 minutes between posts. I’d suggest why but some might not like it


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - Hieronymus - 12-08-2023

It won’t happen but do you bench Baird?


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - cardfan77 - 12-08-2023

No. They need her for defense and passing. She’s also serving well. If only she can get her kills going


RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball - M T - 12-08-2023

We win the most recent 2 sets and the post is about benching Baird…..
