I know this is petty of me, but I can't resist. Emily Ehman and Lee Feinswog in a podcast a couple days before this match: E: "Wisconsin looks like the best team in the B1G hands down." LF: "You know I agree with you, and all you Nebraska fans who just went into convulsions...eyeball test" E: "Well we call them the W-A-N , always the What About Nebraska folk. Doesn't matter what you say, always gonna be someone saying What About Nebraska" LF: hahaha E: "Love them to death but there are times when you gotta realize you aren't the best"  There are sometimes under volleyball posts on Twitter where if you mention all kinds of players, and not one Nebraska player is mentioned, then there are going to be replies "No one from Nebraska?" But boy did players prove them wrong tonight on the court. |

Wisconsin has been making baffling lineup choices all season, and tbh that lack of defined roles (aside from Sarah) really hurts the team. I don’t want to blame it all on this, but, in my opinion, Sheffield not being able to land a reliable OH from the portal during the offseason, and waffling on the upperclassmen MB/RS’s, kinda kicked off a domino effect of lineup issues and error-prone play that I think we’re watching play out now. Imagine if he had gotten Landfair or Acevedo to be the other OH with Franklin, then Orzol plays Lib, GG and Schumacher DS, and a firm commitment was made for Smrek to Opp, Robinson to M1, and either CC or Booth to M2. IMO that team would be way stronger. Volleyball teams need clearly defined roles, and Franklin’s role can’t be “the only point scorer on the team.” It’s a shame, I want better for the Badgers, and for this rivalry. I can definitely say not getting Landfair left me with major FOMO during the match tonight with Lola struggling and Orzol hardly being set. Franklin had 49 attacks in a 3 set match compared to Orzol's 19. |

But boy did players prove them wrong tonight on the court. Sure. There were also trolls commenting on our 2x medal winning (gold included) OLYMPIC libero bashing her bc they were 11 years old when they first saw Hentz make a pancake dig from far away. There's always gonna be dumb annoying ppl online. It was just weird and somewhat obnoxious to be like "just accept Wisconsin's better than you" before the match had even taken place |

this feels a little existential I'm glad to see the cat back! I agree. I think it's very cute. 😊 |

You could go to a third-tier high school match in Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, Minnesota or Wisconsin and watch good volleyball. The Midwest is killing it. |

The thing that stood out to me sitting courtside was how well Nebraska served, across the board.
Low, flat, lots of pace, no spin, and so a good amount of movement.
In the two-plus years I've had that seat, I don't recall anyone else serving that well.
