Okay lol I intend to. You are invited to read them - but I'm also not making you  Nah no thanks. I’ll gladly skip them. It makes me sad to see posts that seem to come from an elderly bipolar woman also suffering from severe decline stages of Alzheimer’s Oh OK, so your question was just to troll people for replies so you could hurl insults at them. Next! |

It makes me sad to see posts that seem to come from an elderly bipolar woman also suffering from severe decline stages of Alzheimer’s Not going from "I'm new to VT don't come at me too harshly" to this 😭😭😭 I've walked into Husker match threads where Big Red is sweeping comfortably and the fans still have stuff to pick apart. Wisconsin fans have thought the sky was falling with a roster many fans would beg to have. Texas fans can come across as brutally critical of their players at times to the average eye. Does Minnesota have to win a championship before we can be critical or something? Gosh darn those Oregon duckin' ducks lol Any team that has a large fanbase on here has lots of posters reacting in real time to a match. Idk why you're coming for Minnesota fans tbh |

Sooooo glad the block and serving eventually showed up Buckeyes by sets .414 .429 .167 .156 .029 Game plan moving forward: don't let teams hit over .400. Simple, right? That, or we hit even better 😅 I will be curious to see passing stats too, I think ours improved decently while increased service pressure saw a drop for OSU. Not many SEs either?? |

Okay, OSU didn't play well, and neither did the Gophers for most of the match, but I'll give them credit for the grit to win it. I very much did NOT see that coming after two sets. "OSU didn't play well" after 2nd set 31 7 56 .429 "neither did the Gophers for most of the match" after 2nd set 22 12 58 .172 sets 3 & 4 28 8 62 .323 almost doubling the first 2 sets MN stopped ceding tempo to OSU by taking bigger swings They upped their service pressure to keep OSU from being in system for FBSOs They woke up and started playing. Did they pass out Restoril to help the squad sleep on Saturday night? |

Yeah idk the passing numbers but 5 of our 6 aces came in the sets we won and 6 of 7 Buckeye aces came in sets they won. They were hitting over .400 and averaging 3 aces per set to start the match. Insane. Their serving definitely made our offense anemic early. My eye test wasn't calibrated watching live so idk how much our passing improved as much as their serving tapered off. |

Shaffmaster is 5-2 against her "COVID peers" Rader and Londot. We never played B1G FOY Londot in Spring 2021 because the two matches were cancelled. Both Buckeye wins were in 2022. They have swept us once at the Pav ('22) and we swept them once at the Pav ('23). Every other match has been 4 sets. This one will be 5, won't it? (Say it won't be!) If you need me, I'll be in my room thinking about what I have done. Sorry 😅  |

A 1-8 team, mind you .... not sure a celebration is warranted. Escaping a 1-8 team should absolutely be celebrated, IMO. Maybe not celebrating the overall level of play, but celebrating the escape and avoiding the drop in conference standings and RPI. |

Wisconsin thanks you. What hit would WI receive in its RPI if OSU had beaten MN? Are you still holding out hope for a top 4 seed? |

Are you still holding out hope for a top 4 seed? we play MN twice, and OSU only once, so it benefits us when MN wins since it counts twice for our RPI. I'm holding out on hope until we get through the next 2 weeks. If we win the 2 big ones, I think we will be back in contention, especially considering our early losses were due to injuries and a freshman setter. (The MN loss is on Sheff for sticking with GG as libero) |
