Question for the masses. Please try and be objective. Using Nebraska's weekend as an example, if you knew you were going to go 1-1 for the weekend, would you rather have it went the way it did, or would you rather have lost to the higher ranked team and beaten the lower ranked team? I know this has zero to do with what will happen in Dec but for the short term, what would you say is preferable?

Wonder why Campbell transferred from Duke to tOSU? She would be a complete stud in the ACC, but a great get for tOSU.

Congrats to a very talented Ohio State team! I applaud what Carlson has done with the lineup, which proved unstoppable for most of the match. The Buckeyes went for every ball on both the attack and D and played with a looser demeanor. This team definitely needs to be in the top 10 on Monday! As for the Huskers, the team seemed completely unaggressive and uninspired tonight. No one was ripping the ball when it mattered most, especially in the last set. Perhaps they were too exhausted after last night's 5-set thriller over PSU. Overall, though, great defensive coverage on OSU's block, but the transition was too flat and normally ended with an OSU point anyway. It's a shame that we can't play them again during the regular season, so I hope we can get another shot at them in the tourney! After seeing them play several times I think their biggest flaw is their unwillingness to take big swings at the pins when they are in point scoring situations. At large portions of the PSU match and OSU match they look like a finesse team. While you have to obviously hit shots out of system vs big blocks, there are just certain times you have to tee it up high, hard and flat if you want to beat the best teams. They love to roll and chip the ball way too much. Obviously Foecke not showing up was a killer. At the end of the day, they are where they want to be in terms of trying to win the Big with a very, very tough road trip behind them.

Beating PSU at State College, especially after falling behind 0-2, has to be a huge team-building and psychological win for the team. I'd take that one every time. Maybe it took too much out of them, especially since they had to play again 24 hours later. But it's still a victory that should be a huge confidence builder. No matter who they play the rest of the season, even in the tournament, they know they can come from behind and win.

I wonder how the Huskers would have performed on a Weds-Sat schedule for this difficult away series.

Gosh this is original. An adult who can't leave the twins alone. Well, the twins do bring it on themselves. Sorta like Hannah Werth did. Hannah was never condemned for being a bad teammate like you incorrectly assume of the Rolfzens. You were joking, right?

I would have chopped off my pinky if it would have convinced Hannah Werth to go to Washington.

Of course he is not joking. He is fishing because he is still bitter from last night and seeing Nebraska lose tonight makes him feel better.

And it's not like Ohio State was an unranked team, so that has an effect on your question. If we beat No. 1, and then turned around and lost to a 50-100 team, then I'd be a bit more concerned.
