It's the environment they created for the people actually in the arena, and it was a more fun and upbeat environment than any volleyball game i've ever been to - which includes a national championship match I like it from the tv screen as well! It felt fun and eventful. Not mad about it. |

Yeah, being a freshman doesn't make her immune to criticism. There are dozens of freshmen every year who come in and play average to great. No but we knew she was raw and not ready for prime time. I kept thinking wtf did Sheffield do that he failed to find ONE suitable OH in the portal. WTF He didn't have enough NIL funds 🤷🏻♀️ |

Like Carter Booth, Smrek LOOKS like she should have a really disruptive serve....but if she can't keep it in, she's not going to be able to continue to serve very long. To my eyes it looks like Smrek glitches in her walk up to serve. I think she needs to work on her approach. Devyn wouldn't be serving if we didn't need the subs for 2 liberos. Looked like she was skipping (or doing a chasse) a time or two. We giggled. |

He didn't have enough NIL funds 🤷🏻♀️ Players went places that weren't Texas and Nebraska, who we speculate are the schools with more NIL for vb then WI. Several of the players who went to other schools had strong ties to those other schools, so their loss wasn't a huge surprise. Also, WI had a player who was as close as you can be to a verbal commitment without actually being committed; that obviously affects how WI recruited other players for that spot. That player went where the NIL 💰 was, which is 100% her prerogative. But, that leaves us where we are now. |

I don't think a serving clock needs to be added to the game. A Ref counting 8 seconds is good with me. A pitcher clock is at 30 seconds, volleyball serve is only at 8 seconds. Most serving violations happen when servers don't hear the whistle from the ref, taking too long to serve is not that big of an issue that needs a clock.

17 service errors. Seventeen. Service. Errors. In 2022 Stanford had 24 service errors against Nebraska and still won 3-1. It wasn't the service errors that allowed Louisville to win against Wisconsin. |

Diva was about to walk down at the Yum last night and cuss out Sheffield. Diva remained patient..... wasting my GOT-DAYUM MONEY! on hotels, air, food, and away from my babies...... for this?!?!
I regress.
So! My observations from yours truly:
BIGGEST TAKE AWAY - Set 1, Charlie was in control and running her show - things were flowing. Then Kelly EGO came into play -- he was mic'd up, so he needed to pretend she was Carlini, or Hilley, or the 6-2 munchkins from a year ago. Charlie is different; she doesn't process information like those setters did. All he did by calling out Reds, B's, and Bics' in his messaging was short-circuit her brain. She is a different type of cerebral athlete and atypical setter; she's unique, and during the middle of a match or time-out, she does not need a coach-to-player side conversation. Her rhythm changed after Set 1. I hope someone can relay to Sheff that his game-time side chats do nothing for Charlie -- she sees the game three times ahead. Her teammates will catch up -- they'll learn not to be surprised. Coach Sheff, in-game time, LET HER PLAY and be the QB -- She's going to do her own thing. Your verbal diarrhea does nothing for her but confuses and frustrates her. (Watch the replay of thier interaction - you'll see it exactly)
I'm tired of seeing our 6'10, four-year starting player who still cannot put a F'ING ball away! This has to be the biggest failure for everyone; we've been cheated of greatness. Since her coming out party at Nebraska during her freshman year, I don't trust her on the RS, or anywhere for that matter. Unfortunately, CC (including last night) would have changed the dynamic in the middle. Anna was being used by 6' Anna of LU. Sad. Shrek goes spastic on any ball set off the net; simply put, she can't do it on a match-by-match basis. She's more of a liability.
Anna sits in my book. CC and Booth (who failed so many blocking assignments) are in the middle, and the go-to is RS Robinson. Charlie can set Robinson on the Right and on a combo slide. I don't know what Sarah played yesterday, but the roll shots to the sky and lack of power were very concerning. Something was not right with her.
I'm okay with aggressive serving, just not to the middle of the net. If you miss, please don't miss as you serve flat-footed on the court.
This team can be good, will be good.
Shadd-Ceres game reminds me of a young Tammy (TTA), but she obviously doesn't spray the ball all over to the bleachers. Once she's more comfortable out there, I think she can have a breakthrough by midseason.
The lackluster deer in the headlights play as the night went on was disappointing. No urgency was felt or the will to win. This mentality gets you in the middle of the BigTen come November.
We need a SOLID OH. The Tank or whatever you'll praise her as, needs to step the f'up!
My lineup for this weekend is as follows: Orzo at LIB, Fuerbs Setting, CC and Booth in the Middle, Robinson at RS, and Franklin and Shadd-Ceres on the pins.
SIT THE BIG GIRL DOWN.. She needs to wake tf up!
Love, Peace and Chicken Grease!
