First of all, the second deck always sits. The only standing section is that at the bottom. I personally always sit in that section, because (a)it's been a long day and I don't want to stand, (b)no matter how much the team needs me, I don't think TitleIX will allow me to play, (c)this isn't football, (d)we should worry a lot more about getting people in the stadium than we should about whether they are standing or sitting. I'm sure the volleyball team was just happy that I showed up and yelled a bunch, rather than if I was standing or not.
Second, for anybody who did not see the game, #16 for Baylor (Stevie Nichols, I believe) is an absolutely amazing player. I think she ended with 24 kills on the night and she tore our team apart. She has a cannon like I've never seen, and she played with a bad leg too. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her, she played a wonderful game.
