Bumped. Go Gazelles.
Texas volleyball was voted #1 by the Big 12 volleyball coaches.
The GazellesTM have 4 players named to the preseason all Big 12 Team, Juliann Faucette, Lauren Paolini, Ashley Engle and Destinee Hooker. Juliann is named co-Player of the Year. New recruit Rachael Adams is named Freshman of the Year. This marks the 3rd year in a row Texas has the Freshman of the Year (Engle and Faucette were the previous two).
Also Volleyball magazine's preseason poll has the Gazelles ranked #3 behind Stanford and defending National Champion Penn State. USC is ranked #4. Texas opens the season playing USC and Stanford.

dumb question...
but since i don’t follow women’s volleyball and don’t go to UT… why are they called the gazelles? rather than lady longhorns or whatever.

BON nickname
I called them the Gregory Gazelles a couple years back and it stuck.
They’ve got those long legs that go forever… like gazelles.

plus...
Watching Destinee jump sky high for a vicious spike brings a gazelle to mind. Kind of a kangaroo, too. She has the grace of a gazelle and the power of a kangaroo. Damn right.

Just a reminder
Single game tickets went on sale last Monday.
Nebraska and A&M sold out in advance of game day last year.

apropos of nothing
I believe texas is also the pre-season favorite in the Big 12 women’s soccer this season.
