National Championship Day

[Guardman]

I don't know what to say other than .. Oh My! What Excitement!

The rarest of days and opportunities for UofL team sports.

I will be there. As will Mrs Guardman and Guardman Jr.

Win or lose, what a season for DBK and all the seniors!

Tune in to ABC if you can't get there. National ABC at 3pm.

Good Luck to both teams, but a little more good luck for our Cardinals.

Special shout-outs to Anna DeBeer, Elena Scott, Charitie Luper !

And a personal favorite Cara Cresse.

You Go Girls!

Play for yourselves, your family, the team, your coach, the league and the city.

Have the finest day you've ever known.

Go C A R D S !!

 

[Bardman]

Well said. I (+1) will be there. My blood pressure is already up! I am going to be happy win or lose. They have had such a great season!!

 

[Deeva]

I will be watching watching! Go Cards!

I have learned to enjoy and appreciate UL WVB as much as any UL sport. It is amazing that our one sport, which is undeniably the most successful over these last 4 years, receives the least amount of media exposure by UL, in terms of radio and TV. There have been games that were not only unavailable locally live, the scores were only reported on ESPN’s website. This school needs to treat our WVB Team the same way Nebraska treats their WVB Program.

The Anna DeBeer and Elena Scott story reminds me of Griffith and Turner (prior to Bobby leaving prematurely) …..Go Lady Cards!!!

If WVB were now a BIG revenue sport it would receive pretty appropriate attention. But it's not. So it doesn't.

WVB is a nascent supersport.
Pro leagues are in their early phases.

Only about 6-8 schools have super WVB history. Louisville is developing under DBK.

We should be so proud and so supportive.

Does any have an update on Anna D. ? Coach said after the Pitt game she would play. But I think that was just wishful thinking! I do think that Anna will try to at least make an attempt to go. See what happens, and if see can help even in spot situations. Go Cards!! Beat the Lions! Win the Natti in DaVille!

My stress level is already high and it will get higher until the match is over. It seems like we have been Losing the first set in these big matches. I don’t know if we start off fast if that would be good or bad. I hate to think this is going to be Anna and Elena’s last VB match in a Louisville uniform. They have been here for 4 years Anna 5 years it is going to seem odd when they are no longer here. Since they are local kids who stayed home to play for their home team and have had great success they will definitely be local heroes. They are in the same category as Darrel Griffith and will always be remembered.

 

[Bardman]

It doesn’t appear she is playing. She doesn’t have a boot on but she wasn’t warming up and she is hobbling a bit. Totally sucks for her.

 

[KozmasAgain]

She was limping walking in the stadium it doesn’t look promising.

 

[KozmasAgain]

If we keep doing those soft returns we could end up in trouble

 

[KozmasAgain]

I hate that end zone camera angle they use you can’t see the action when they do that. We need to do better on defense we have had a few mistakes including Elena.

 

[KozmasAgain]

The only one slamming the ball is Diaz.

 

[KozmasAgain]

During that timeout our body language didn’t look good.

 

[CardsDan]

Anna needs to pull a Willis Reed

 

[KozmasAgain]

What is up with Luper she has one of hardest slams but she is trying to soft touch everything?

 

[CardsDan]

went to sleep on that last point

 

[KozmasAgain]

Well I hate to lose the first set but that has been our mo we don’t get going until the 2nd set. I hope that is the case today, we lost points on these soft returns we need to slam it when we have the opportunity.

 

[CardsDan]

I think we're tight. Not playing like the 3rd and 4th sets against pitt

 

[KozmasAgain]

We look awful to many mistakes

 

[KozmasAgain]

We have had 2 sets that were below the top of the net.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Make that 3 sets below the top of the net.

 

[CardsDan]

playing with no fire

 

[KozmasAgain]

Not looking good if we lose this set it would be hard to come back from.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I would set up Diaz every time she is the only one slamming the ball. Another bad set cost us another point.

 

[Bardman]

Not having your #1 offensive weapon, who is also very good at the net and is an emotional leader…really hurts. Insert a new starter (FR) and timing is just not going to be 100%.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Another bad set cost us another point.

 

[CardsDan]

only time we rally is when payton is serving

 

[Bardman]

I think they are playing their hearts out.

 

[CardsDan]

come on get to set point

 

[CardsDan]

mrzek getting on my nerves. gotta play better at the net

 

[CardsDan]

my nerves can't take it

 

[jmac1029]

Wow! Just wow!

 

[KozmasAgain]

Wow what a comeback we played great came from behind and win the set. Hopefully that will get us going. The fans are great they are really loud.

 

[CardsDan]

who brought DBK to Louisville TJ or Vince?

 

[KozmasAgain]

We have gone back to really bad sets now down 7-3 we have to do better. Elena Scott is playing great but she needs help.

 

[Bardman]

Cabello, who has been our best setter, has all of sudden flubbed a few. They need to settle down.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I thought the momentum would be on our side but PSU came out fired up.

 

[KozmasAgain]

This whole match we have been playing from behind and that might catch up with us.

 

[KozmasAgain]

How come Cresse and Kong haven’t been in that much?

 

[KozmasAgain]

2-1 PSU we need to play better and quit letting them have those big leads. I still think we have to many bad sets they are barely over the net making it hard for us to slam the ball.
