Literally all of your Big Ten conference mates refer to you as Wisky. That's the first nickname I ran across when Nebraska joined the Big Ten and I visited a bunch of message boards to get to know everyone. Nobody in Wisconsin or at Wisconsin says "Wisky" (unless they're ordering a drink, and then you have it spelt incorrectly). ” The Shot of Wisky podcast is a University of Wisconsin basketball podcast hosted by two ex-players and alumni. We discuss all things Wisconsin basketball.” |

Disagree about most likely 2025 NE libero. Choboy covers more court and gets digs Mauch cannot. Regardless, the 2025 libero will be determined next August. It will be a close competition. Mauch is/has been so steady in SR though - which might be cook’s preference. Choboy’s defensive reads are on a different level and she’s so fast twitched back there. Goes back to the debate of - would you prefer a passing libero or a defensive libero? Can't coach Choboy's athleticism. Can coach passing and dig accuracy, as demonstrated by Choboy's improvement. Again it will be a close competition next August. Both will likely be improved by then. |

If a match that didn't have extended rallies where one team was pretty much in control is fun for casuals/neutrals then why are people begging for 5 set matches that are back and forth affairs? lol It wasn't not fun because the Badgers lost it is the manner of the way the contest unfolded. Plus the match lacked drama as the Minnesota/Wisconsin contest had. A true back and forth affair.
Sorry I struck a nerve with my analysis.
Most matches don't have extra point sets nor go 5 sets. So I guess you are surmising fans don't find most WVB matches entertaining. However, viewership indicates otherwise. LMAO at your hubris representing other fans. And you are clueless to the gist of my comment. Maybe it's a Nebraska thing but it's OK that others may not all find the match all that fun as you did. Sorry that it continues to rankle you to the core of your soul. |

Just caught the YouTube replay—really frustrating to watch the Badgers implode in late game 2 when they were right there. Orzol’s net on the overpass, Anderson badly missing a serve, Charlie missing a late serve…that just can’t happen in these kinds of games this late in the year. Same with Damrow missing some late serves as well. I skipped the third so I can’t comment on it, but this team is way too reliant on Franklin right now and Charlie’s setting was consistently low or poorly placed last night. I’d rather her set the ball a bit higher if it’ll allow her 6-7 and 6-9 hitters to extend their arms than push for a faster tempo. She’s been great in stretches and struggled in others but they’re not going to advance deep in the tournament if she doesn’t clean up her sets. Damrow did an admirable job but getting back Schumacher back soon will be important for Wisconsin to make a run in December.

Also, don't forget both JWO and Lexi are slow-twitch liberos so that shows a possible preference. "Slow twitch libero?" How did you arrive at that conclusion?  I'm sure the poster is just repeating how Cook described them in his radio show. Although he used the term slow-twitch athlete |

Again it will be a close competition next August. Both will likely be improved by then. Keep in mind, just because something can be coached doesn't mean a player will develop the acumen or a particular skill. Sometimes there are athletes that are not just that athletic but are gifted between the ears and no amount of athleticism can make up for it. Tom Brady wasn't a quick-twitch athlete, but is probably the GOAT NFL QB. Specific to the Huskers, neither Larson or Foecke ever jumped touched over 10'2", but their VB IQ and mental toughness made them better than most of their more athletic contemporaries. Even more specific to the libero position, JWO and Rodriguez were not as athletic as Maloney or Knuckles, but which pair is better (granted, all four were excellent in their own right)? Speaking of Mauch, she's not as athletic as Choboy, but she is more athletic than JWO or Rodriguez. Mauch is more in the Banwarth mold, pretty good athleticism, but not elite, but a great mind for the game with an advanced skill set. |

Sarah Pavan’s insights on this match on her recent episode of the volleytalk podcast are so funny I genuinely look forward to this podcast every week now. They give such excellent insights and are so real. Not afraid to give their truest insights on in-game technique, and I feel like my insights are either validated, or I learn something new. |

Also, don't forget both JWO and Lexi are slow-twitch liberos so that shows a possible preference. "Slow twitch libero?" How did you arrive at that conclusion? From the Nebraska thread! (...) Cook on one of the shows last week was saying that what Lexi and JWO have in common is they are slow twich players. They aren't the most naturally athletic and therefore need to make reads and slow everything down. Lexi is amazing but you can see it at times when there are cross court shots that she doesn't even react to. She's obviously quick enough but her superpower is ability to read and position. Choboy is a fast twich player. Most of what she does is insanely quick reaction. It's most evident in her serve receive. She's a very noisy serve receiver. I don't think she reads serves particularly well and reacts to the serve instead. There is so much movement when she receives it may put a ceiling on how good she can get, although admittedly she's still very good despite this. If she can learn to slow down she could be next level. |

Damrow did an admirable job but getting back Schumacher back soon will be important for Wisconsin to make a run in December. Having late season injuries is really tough to overcome even if they are not to your "star" players. It throws team balance and chemistry all out of whack. Nebraska experienced this two years ago when Knuckles went down late in the season. The team clearly never regained their footing and got bounced from the tournament early. |
