Good start to season. Interesting tweaks with the lineup tonight. A long, exciting season ahead and with several back to back matches in the new ultra competitive big ten, it will be a major grind. They have more back to backs than anyone, so plenty of playing time to go around. Everyone will play the next few weekends.
This is not 10-20 years ago when the talent was not as deep across college volleyball. In portal era, Cook is going try to keep his team as fresh as possible and try to keep everyone engaged and happy as possible. Cook was talking about that challenge in the pregame radio interview.

proud of my krause t shirt investment from raygun haha, though a lauenstein "collectible" tee would be fun tbh.
so happy the season is starting, and just can't wait to juggle these shenanigans with college homework lol

thoughts on Allick's MB recognition? Awesome performance by her last night, her and AJ made a great duo Last night showed why Ayden Ames was so afraid of competing for playing time against Allick and Jackson during the next 2 years. |

Fun match. Just watched Laney Choboy on SportsCenter Top 10 this morning. Did she do a round off-back handspring to play a down ball? |

So good to see a healthy Krause killing it! I read the ESPN article about Harper Murray and it was very touching. I am shocked at what people feel they can say to another human being. Well, we're not going to change mass humanity. We need to change people's resiliency regarding their reaction to social media. There's no reason for Murray to take those comments so seriously, or get to the point where she's actually seeking out the worst things people are saying about her. That's not fair. There are reasons. There's no healthy reason. That said, I'm sorry she's gone through what she's gone through, even if it's due to the consequences of her own actions. My biggest hope is that it's a learning opportunity, and someday she's able to help someone else because of what she's gone through. Your first paragraph is so wrong. Saying "we're not going to change mass humanity" is an excuse not to do anything in some cases and offers a free pass for being a jackass. You say Murray has no reason to take SM comments so seriously. I say you should just be grateful you don't understand what she is going through. You can't tell people how they should be feeling when you have no idea what they are dealing with. I've been there. Waking up EVERY DAY with a dark cloud over your head for seeming no reason at all. It's not fun, and it is most definitely something to write off as being thin skinned. Please, do better. |

It's not fun, and it is most definitely something to write off as being thin skinned. Please, do better. Me thinks you will get more success coaching SA's to ignore or laugh-off internet trolls, than getting rid of the trolls. A certain percent of humanity is mean and thrives off hurting others. Internet trolls fall in that group. Most of the time, less harmful than those that act out physically, but when they find someone vulnerable they can be just as deadly. Some thoughts: 1) When I was young we had a retort for name callers: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me." That's been replaced with "Words Count" and Micro-aggressions. 2) If you achieve success, expect trolls to attack you. They think they gain (move up the pecking order) by bringing those above them down a notch or two. It's always easier to destroy than build. They are destroyers, not builders or achievers. 3) Not sure how you stop internet trolls without interfering with free speech. If you are a public figure, even your civil options are very limited in the US. In extreme cases, criminal charges can be brought after tragedy strikes, but that does not appear to be very effective as deterrence. 4) Womens Volleyball has reached very high public profile in the last few years. Especially true at successful teams such as NE. Thus player controversies reach a national audience filled with internet trolls. They pile on like vultures on a carcass. IMO "vulture" is a good description of them. Thus coaches helping players to ignore them and develop a thick skin is important IMO. One that has only recently became more important in WVB. We all make mistakes. We should not be persecuted for that, but internet trolls bask in their persecution of other's. Not sure how you get rid of them. Like hemroids. PERIOD! |

It's not fun, and it is most definitely something to write off as being thin skinned. Please, do better. You know nothing about me. The truth is we’re doing a terrible job of preparing children for the world we’ve created for them. We are wired to respond to measurable stimuli. It’s how we evolved and how humanity came to dominate the planet. If wealth and status was about how much food you brought home, or the most dangerous enemy that you killed, or how brave in battle you demonstrated, then that is what people aspired to. What are we training children to value from the moment they get on social media? How much engagement they receive. How many likes. How many shares. How many followers. What gets measured gets done. We are naturally wired to seek out hierarchies, but social hierarchies for kids used to be determined by what table you sat at in the school cafeteria and who you sat next to on the school bus. Now it’s determined primarily by your social media page. And the audience is no longer the people around you. It’s determined by complete strangers and how successfully you can engage them. We also have this asinine drive to end bullying. We’re never ending bullying. At best we put people in bubble wrap and temporarily protect them from bullying so they’re even farther away from understanding how to deal with the dynamic. Bottom line is that based on the article written about her, Murray is seeking validation and approval in obsessive ways from people who will never know her. Not really. That’s not a healthy outlook no matter who you are. Worse, she actually seeks out the most damaging and destructive comments. That’s a classic case of someone who has issues with self esteem. She internally believes those messages on some level, so she seeks them out because they align with how she thinks about herself. That’s highly self destructive behavior. Someone like that is going to constantly seek external validation to counteract how they see themselves but they’re trying to fill a black hole that will never be filled that way. The solution to this outlook is to help children earn their good feelings about themselves. Look to peer socialization more so than digital socialization, at least in terms of facile interactions on posts. The way children communicate with their peers is more and more through digital avatars, which I also have some issues with, but at least there’s a more robust communication and connection going on through avatars than through social media exchanges on TikTok, Instagram, what have you. We’re doing young people a terrible disservice. And there’s always going to be a destructive element in humanity. There needs to be in some ways. We need an element that’s breaking down what’s accepted to make way for something new. But that destructive element can be very painful to encounter, particularly when an upbringing has been inadequate in preparing a person for the negative emotions that can be generated by people who feel rewarded by destructive behavior. I just feel strongly as a society we are making major missteps in how we’re socializing children at this point, mostly because we’ve left it completely in the hands of monetization schemes for large tech companies and what drives their bottom line, as opposed to what direction we want to society to move towards. And I feel like Murray in many way is a victim of this. But there are plenty of others. She’s not exactly an isolated case. It’s also a reason why I’m such a huge believer in team sports. It’s an avenue where kids can seek out socialization tools in person, with all the nonverbal communication that entails, earn their self esteem in different ways, as opposed to being told how amazing they are without effort. Unfortunately for Murray her successes on the volleyball court have not been enough to feed her. But it’s a whole lot more practical to try to give the Murrays of the world practical tools for how to deal with random strangers who get some kind of malign delight in tearing her down than it is to eliminate that aspect from all of humanity. |
