Two come from behind 0–2 victories for Brilliant Aries this weekend ... against the top two teams (besides them) ... and I didn't get to see either one of them 
Team pic with everyone pointing to the girl with jersey #1 
Toyota is running away with this
I'm getting nervous for Toyota watching this
I really want them to get their win already.
I'm not too nervous. I got the feels 
Just wish my stream was a little more reliable. It keeps diving down to 360 and punting, but it keeps coming back so far
Toyota takes the first TWO sets 
Pretty sure that's a first
Toyota is playing one of their setters and a retired OH as liberos, and Okawa and Shigihara at the pins instead of Cherry Blossom Girl and Captain Mioko
It's not immediately clear that any one of these replacements is any better than who they're in for, but some how, in some way, Toyota looks like they are playing a system
Pretty cool
If Toyota can contain Mayu Oikawa and this freaking tank from high school, (58% and 53% respectively) they might pull off a victory. Remember where you are and what you're doing tonight. This might right up there with "Where were you when Elvis died"?
Toyota took the first set. Maybe third time's a charm. But Okayama has deployed their new high school Power Hitter
Toyota looks kind of together. KRob's in a bun of some sort
I got the feels
I feel bad for everyone. This is spreading like wildfire. We know these girls aren't running around at nightclubs and bar hopping. They must be getting it at their day jobs. I wonder how bubbled up they are beyond that
In one of those vbm pressers, Saitama Coach Marcos is asked if he plans to bring any of the four newest recruits to the bench this year and he says:
QuoteI haven't seen any of them play yet, except for Hiroyo Yamanaka, the middle blocker (Aoyama Gakuin University), so I want to let them participate in practice first to see how they play.
So, I guess it's the GM who makes these decisions? Without input from the Coach?

The win puts Brilliant Aries in 2nd place by Wins 9–2, while Prestige is 8–3. They both have 25 points and Prestige has a way better Set Ratio. Wish I could have seen it
The Allies need to beat Gunma Bank tomorrow to keep things rolling
Damn, I was just going to post that I would hate to be a serve sub at match point
Oh well, Himeji is a nice team, too. Kurobe needs some wins
[Edit] Wait, so does Himeji 
Plak-ball in a Tie Break is not good strategy 
This Himeji / Kurobe match is featuring two of my favorite unheralded MBs having good game
Hinano Michishita 13/29 , 3 blocks
Chihiro Sasaki 16/31 , 3 blocks
SAGA deserves a lot of credit for the win. Their defense was impressive 
SAGA PFU tie break 
OMG Hitachi 
3–1 Toray 
Damn, Hitachi Toray 24–24 and my stream is not cooperating
