The pinky on your dominant hand? Or is tomclen ambidextrous? To get Werth for 4 years at UW, both pinkys. Four toes and four fingers of your choice for four years of Vansant.

Hannah was never condemned for being a bad teammate like you incorrectly assume of the Rolfzens. You were joking, right? 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. Oh this is going to be such a fun season. I don't know if I'm more excited about the games or how crazy the boards are gonna get this season. No disrespect to the other conferences, ok maybe a little, but everyone secretly wishes they would be invited to the Big. Haha.

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? I would take the current outcome 10 out of 10 times if a 2-0 for the weekend was not the option. It is hard enough to play PSU and tOSU on the road, but then to make it on back to back days.......that's brutal. Not to take anything away from tOSU, but I would have liked Nebraska's chances if the game was actually tomorrow with a day of rest.

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. Could it be the setting? The number of tips/rolls is concerning. We've got so many big guns. It's pointless not to use them.

Because dynasties transcend days, weeks, months and years. Cause dynasties are what you brag about when yours is over I noticed you have posted sporadically throughout the day. I thought you were on your keg pedaling mobile pub crawl today.
I hope you did not fall off and it kept going without you. LOL

Don't be shy. They say if you want to be great surround yourself around it. I can only do so much. You have to find other avenues

On the topic of Hunter, I have a bone to pick. Her dumps on 2 are beyond obvious! I've never seen a setter show so early! Sometimes she'll dink it in a good spot where the defense can't control it, but even on those, she shows way too early. Actually, I hardly would consider it a "dump". It's more of a tip attempt on 2.

It's important for her to be active in the offense, but her choices this weekend seemed untimely and definitely weren't her best. She's got to angle her dumps if she goes up against Washington, Ogbogu or Sandbothe (even though she was clearly in the net), otherwise she'll get stuffed. I also noticed how Kelly really likes tipping to zone 1, but the PSU and OSU back rows had no problem picking those up. But, I agree, she needs to be more deceptive with her body language, especially on perfect passes. Kudos to Kelly, though, for trying to run a faster and more diverse offense; we can't go back to high balls to the pins à la 2014. Her biggest challenge this season will be balancing speed and placement.

The dynasty may be on hiatus this year if PSU 1-2 contacts (L/S) issues continue.
