I’m convinced that the Iowa staff is lighting up this message board or they are paying or encouraging good friends to pile on this thread. How did anybody all of a sudden become interested in Iowa Volleyball? There is nothing to be optimistic about. Even when Bond was shuffling the deck, nobody really cared. This is quite the anomaly. Please explain the hype. No connection to staff here. Originally from IC area moved to NE +30 yrs ago. Became a NE volleyball fan about 10 yrs ago. I follow IA VB too, but not much to get excited about last couple of years. Now with new coach and the hard work they have put in recruiting, seems a lot more to be optimistic about. Time will tell. It's harder to follow IA VB. All of the NE games are televised, and if you miss a match you can almost always watch a replay on YouTube. That's part of it and a part that IA needs to build up. It is not an overnight process, but one the Athletic Department should embrace IMO. WVB is very popular with female athletes and increasingly with fans. Plenty of potential to grow WVB in IA and at U of IA, IMO.

How can playing three matches in a day possibly be a good idea?

Based on the schedule, it looks like they expect each matchup to last about an hour, at most. I'm not there and I have no connection to any of the programs, but I would guess they'll play about 2 sets (or a roughly equivalent amount of points) in each matchup.
So it's definitely not 3 full matches. It's probably more like slightly longer than what would be a normal long 5-set match, and there will be a lot of substitutions. A great chance to see different sets, blocking, etc., from all the different teams.

Nice to see Hannah, Courtney and Maddie in this great pic! Sure wish each of them the best with their new programs. Still always Hawkeyes, though! GO HAWKS!

All graduating seniors - Nice to see Coach Barnes include them in his team this spring! And also nice to see Jones back to anchor our Hawkeyes for this upcoming season. A terrific class of 22.

1 hour and 15 minutes. You can get 2 sets in and a 15 pt set. 3 matches of this would be 6 full sets and 3, 15 pt sets. 3 hours and 45 minutes of playing. Sounds like a good day.

Wonder if UNI is streaming any of it? no streaming unless someone in the crowd does it using a phone app or something. if it is anything like past years, they don't even have a real scoreboard (just flip cards). it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't even use line judges or an R2, just an R1 on the stand. it really is just a series of scrimmages

Iowa beat Iowa State 2-1. North Dakota State 2-0. And UNI 1-1. Good showing by the Hawkeyes.
