I noticed that Austin Peay is on the list. I wonder if Ryan Ivey planted that idea in the minds of the BOR members...Pilotgirl said:
Actually, more than one would think. And more are being added. So SFA is thinking of joining that list. So kudos for them!

And by the way, Pilotgirl, it's nice to get a female perspective on a lot of things. There are very few females, if any, ever commenting here. Refreshing! Keep it up! (But beware of TallTexan and Nacluth's posts. They're a couple of strange ones...)
Haha! Thanks! I don't scare away easily
I saw Austin Peay on the list and wondered the same thing...
Also, the Rec Center has a couple sand courts so already some spots for practice?

I didn't know that. Never been in it. Living so far away, I'm not able to get to the campus very often, usually only for games.Pilotgirl said:

It's a nice facility. Can't remember exactly when it was built but the current students really enjoy it. It wasn't there when I was an undergrad and then when I was doing my Masters and then post graduate studies...no time LOL. But it is a beautiful building. My daughter goes there for yoga during the semesters and takes advantage of the pool/lazy river.

Hey now, thems are fighting words.

Technically I still live in Texas, we just work all over the country.
And we're in the NC mountains for the summer for work, with the amazing high temp of 85 degrees. Be jealous!

Close enough. Now, it's just that Nacluth fellow that we have to worry about.TallTexan said:

Wow, thanks Ed. I accept all forms of payment. Of course, I'm always up for treating any Sawmiller to a Subway sandwich whenever they're in town.Ed "The Magnificent" Stile said:

You're on, my friend. I'm going to make an effort to make more games this year, since I have season tickets. You can even bring your lovely bride and those three rugrats of yours along, too.
Hey! I just noticed that my post was edited without my consent! FAKE NEWS!!
This talks to what took Demi out of the pole vaulting picture for a bit.edstile said:Thanks for the link. It says that beach volleyball will make us competitive with our peer institutions. Just curious... What peer institutions?? UCLA and USC?? I'm totally clueless on this. What schools this side of the West Coast have beach volleyball teams? And I assume we would have to import players the way that the bowling team does, since I know of zero high schools in Texas that play beach volleyball, right? (Not that importing them is a bad thing... Just sayin'...)BigJack85 said:
SFAJack 76, I read about it in the BOR meeting notes.... Here's the press release from SFASU news site. The comment on Sand Volleyball is about 1/2 way thru the article. Say's that they are aiming for a 2020 start .

And BTW, does anyone know what Demi Payne is doing these days? I hope she's still plying her vaulting trade. I'd love to see her in the 2020 Olympics.

I believe she is teaching pole vaulting and back to training now. I don't know if she has been in any meets this year.
Great story. Shows Demi has her priorities straight. Now I really, really hope she can make the Olympic team. Thanks for sharing, 76.SFAJack_76 said:

Following now. Thanks for sharing.
At least there's one NWST believer out there. : D
Considering the quality of the young talent we had last year, I fully expect back to back championships.

Ladyjacks start the season with a 3-0 win over Memphis at Memphis. Two matches to come on Saturday against Arkansas State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Jacks dismantled Sunbelt champ Arkansas State 3-0 this morning. Let's hope they can sweep the tournament by taking down Arkansas- Pine Bluff this afternoon.

Crushed A-PB 25-16, 25-13, and 25-9 to go 3-0 for the first time since 2013.
This is the first time in program history that the Ladyjacks have shut out their first 3 opponents. Hope this continues all the way through the Southland tournament.
I have GOT to get into town and watch these ladies at some point when they're at home. I admit that I have never watched an SFA volleyball game in person -- ever. This team is obviously going to be something special this year.

Our second tournament starts today after sweeping the win last weekend. Our competition ups a little as we play Princeton today then Northwestern and Colgate tomorrow. Good luck ladies!
Women fall 3-0 to Princeton today. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.
Princeton showed why they are the defending Ivy League Champions.

Ladyjacks hang tough with Northwestern of the Big Ten but lose 3-1. These games against outstanding opponents should really help prepare the ladies for conference play.
Ladyjacks beat Colgate 3-1.
After starting the season 4-2 on the road, they get the next six at home starting with ULM on Tuesday.

Boom! Great job!
5-2 on the year with two matches each Friday and Saturday at home in the Fredonia Hotel/Holiday Inn Express SFA Invitational.
It's good to know that we're a near lock for purple lights on Saturday!
Tennessee State and Grambling should be comfortable wins. 4-2 Stetson will be more of a challenge. 7-1 St. John's, with a number of international players, will be tough.
