In this special NCAA Championship episode, the Coaches' Panel had to take care of "house affairs" so Rob brought on NCAA Men's Volleyball Digital Content Creator and influencer, Joe McCurdy. This University of Tulsa graduating senior has a high-charisma, entertaining and hi-volley-IQ inherent in all of his social posts that have created a great deal of buzz from athletes, teams, broadcast personalities and fans throught the NCAA Men's Volleyball world!

We explore his beginnings, take a peak at the early part of the 2025 season then transition through the rest of the season recaps before talking about the NCAA Committee and the 2025 NCAA Collegiate Channpionship in Columbus, OH!

Week 8 only saw one team get upset-- three times-- otherwise there were only "baby steps" made for two other teams. Kylie, Sydney and Rob break down the Top 20 and talk about teams’ chances at winning their conference tournaments (8 conference automatics) or receiving one of 8 available At-Larges into the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship!

In this BONUS Beach Episode, TCU's Tania Moreno jumps onto the pod/vodcast to discuss her beginnings in volleyball with a pro-beach volleyball Mom and starting her volleyball career in the sand chasing volleyballs as a toddler.

We also talk about her competing at the international level in Europe at a young age and connecting with Daniela Alvarez (Dani). From that relationship at the Spanish Federation, Tania found her way to TCU to be a part of a lot of program firsts-- that included a first-ever No. 1 ranking for TCU. In addition, she discusses her journey to the Olympics, coming back to TCU for her Senior season, and what we could expect to see in the 2025 CCSA and NCAA Beach Volleyball Championships!
