As of late these games in Madison never seem to be all that close. I am kind of expecting the same.

Is Wisconsin the first school other than Penn State to do "silent set"?

I wonder if the silent set will work in favor of MN it's only silent for the first 8 Wisconsin points then it will probably get loud |

Really hoping for a good game! Wisconsin has been on another level these past few weeks offensively but Minnesota is scrappy and is more than capable of hanging. I think for Wisconsin to win, they'll have to come out the gate strong on the block and killing the first ball. I think Hanson can go off and Wisconsin could still win, especially if Charlie is mixing up the offense well. For Minnesota, tough serving and strong defense will be necessary. Minatee and Awoleye need to have good nights, and they'll need some level of production on the left, from Wookie, Acevedo, or whoever. I think Wisconsin takes it in 4 but I hope I'm wrong and we have a long night of volleyball Hopefully they spin the dial right and get Smrek v Hanson. |

lol I deleted my post. Did a friendly google search I initially was going to respond, "probably, because most of us know how to use Google" but decided not to be snarky (and since you admitted you googled, I can admit this ) |

Am I the only one who doesn't know what this is? maybe Former Penn State opposite (?) Jonni Parker, from seven or eight years ago, had significant hearing loss. Not deaf, but nowhere near normal hearing. So as a mechanism to raise awareness (and money) Penn State started holding a "silent set" match every year. The crowd stays silent, "cheering" with their hands, until the team scores their ninth point - nine being Parker's number. After Parker graduated, I think Penn State has continued holding the matches.
Tonight Wisconsin is holding a "silent set" match, with Parker reportedly being in attendance. Like they did at Penn State, they are selling t-shirts - five dollars per going to Parker's organization - that spells out "Badgers" in sign language.
Though I haven't explicitly read this, Kelly Sheffield also has significant hearing loss in his left (?) ear, and that may be part of how it came to be that UW is holding the event tonight.
(I'm worried about Franklin hitting a Franklin shot that makes us all gasp, :-)

I gave my sweet soul dog her last cuddles while watching one of our favorite movies this morning, so I am thoroughly numbed for any potential Badger-inflicted pain tonight. All I ask is the pain not be Gopher-inflicted and that we don't totally flop. Look respectable out there like sets 2-4 in Lincoln.
Go Gophs!
