Iowa State v. Mizzou

**Kitkat** · 09-22-2011, 08:44 AM

Brought in my Register paper this morning fully expecting to see at least a brief story on the volleyball game. After all, it was over by 8:30 pm, early enough to make the morning paper, or so you would think. But I could find not even a brief story on the game. Was it hidden in some corner? Very disappointed in the Register.

I'm not surprised. The register was probably disappointed that ISU won't be in the MAC.

Wife and I went to this as our first VB game in Hilton. Enjoyed it! We'll be back to watch them take on Texas on Oct. 2nd!

ISU really looked solid. The setting was much better. All the hitters were utilized. The only weak spot in my opinion was the serving. Too many errors on easy serves.

Quick question, I've never been to a VB game before, but would like to take the GF. Is it safe to say it's pretty easy to walk up to the counter and get tickets right before the game or should i get them from the Jake ahead of time?

What about Matlock? Has she been playing this much all year? She did fine when she just had to put up two hands to block, but if a ball was passed her way there was no point being scored for ISU. Was she left in to just be a blocking force?

You'll be able to get tickets no matter what. They might not be the best depending on the game. For example the UT game will have a lot people but most likely can get parquet tickets. Since you live 4 blocks from the Jack might as well get them early to get the best seat available.

They sent a guy up to ISU/Iowa a few weeks ago. They might send one to ISU/Texas. Other than that, they just copy and paste the press releases that ISU sends out.

Didn't they announce that there would be free admission to the UT game during last night's match? Or was I just imagining that...

It may be free with a ticket stub from the previous day's ISU/UT football game.

Yes, Bring your ticket from the ISUvTexas football and get free general admission to the volleyball game on Sunday.

First serve is 12:00 noon!

Should be a great crowd for this match!

Matlock needs more experience on the court. She is a great athlete and can jump higher than anyone on the team. Christy takes them raw and makes them into all americans. I think Matlock will blossom in her junior and senior year.
