There's no more entertaining match-up possible in the country right now period. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Swell, but nobody will be able to see it unless they buy a ticket and go to Madison. No stream? You gotta be kidding me. This has to be on ESPN. YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT?

Finishing 5th in the Pac12 just doesn't bring the clout it used to bring!

Just curious, I'm not saying anything about Nebraska's chances, but if they're not in the FF will the fans still show up? If they do make it, will fans from other teams get a chance to go or will it be flooded with Nebraska fans? Not only won't they show up, they won't come to the final if their Huskers aren't in it. In San Diego in 2001, the joint was packed with fans, but they disappeared after Stanford took them out in the semis. That's ridiculous. Big difference expecting Husker fans to show up when their team isn't playing while on the road vs playing at home. I will guarantee that if Nebraska isn't in the final four, it will be the most well attended F4 where the host team wasn't participating. In 2008 in Omaha the attendance for the final that didn't include NEB was 14,299. That's a pretty big frigging number without any Nebraskans showing up.

SAN DIEGO 1. USC 8. Stanford 9. Kansas 16. Creighton DES MOINES 2. Minnesota 7. PSU 10. Texas A&M 15. Louisville AUSTIN 3. Texas 6. Wisconsin 11. Florida 14. UCLA LOUISVILLE 4. Nebraska 5. Washington 12. OSU 13. BYU Some of the specific teams in the brackets are ridiculous. For example, it looks as if Rose was allowed to choose his opponents. But these seeded teams look fine. I know the Husky fans are bitching about a 5 seed, but they should wish for a 6 seed so they could wallop overrated Texas. I like all the top seeds except Wisconsin over Texas in the regional finals. In the final four: Wisconsin, Washington, Minnesota, and USC. I like Nebraska too, but Washington is too tough. I expect an upset or two that could change the regional finals, but I'd have to see the other teams in the brackets. Haha

I've traveled quite a bit over the years for work, and I've had various college sports teams on my flights during regular season. But for the volleyball tournament, how are they able to get everyone on non-sold out flights this time of year? Both of my recent flights, 10 days ago and 2 days ago, were at full capacity.
Most of these schools don't have the budget for charter flights --- for the Washington sub-regional, there are at least 4 airlines that fly into Seattle from Denver and 2 airlines that fly in from Detroit (I assume that's where MSU is flying out of). So, that works out for them. But for Arkansas State, unless they book a charter flight or drive to Nashville, they'll have to take 2 planes to get to Seattle.
I assume all the schools have contracts with certain airlines, but it must be challenging getting everyone to where they need to be.

I didn't know that. That takes a lot of coordinating.

Give me of the above the most likely to not make it? UCLA will take out Texas. UCLA will have a tough time beating Michigan.

I'm not paying $1500 for round trip, hotel, and car to see Ducks Badgers play so there damn well better be a stream/TV for it.
