If that upsets you so much then stop watching close matches idk what to tell you I watched plenty of close matches. Haven’t seen anyone act like that this season besides Callie Williams. Which was also completely out of line. Don’t scream at the other team it’s simple. Wait what happened with Callie Williams? I am out of the loop |

I remember Karch really liking Khat Bell giving lots of "face" and energy to the horns at one point in the 2013 semifinal with the badgers. I found it annoying as a badgers fan, but that is just because I am a badger fan and we were playing Texas. Karch clearly thought it was a good thing, as did Sunderland. I think that's healthy. Salima has said similar things. Good sportsmanship is important. When the match is over, people should be gracious and respectful. But that shouldn't preclude competitiveness, aggression and energy that occur in the heat of the match.
Mostly people just use these kinds of things to find an excuse to hate the team that's not theirs.

Agree. Even the current seniors on Wisconsin would have been sophomores just starting their second season and are now much more experienced. As I wrote in a different post, that match has little to no impact on this match. I definitely wasn’t doing that, heck Luketić was the RS, Shook was the setter, and White was the outside. Eggleston was like 17 and now she’s the future of USA volleyball. They’ve got Iosia back setting to the pins... sheesh. So much respect for this Longhorn team. Ugh, now I’m nervous again. I was just agreeing with you that Wisconsin is also a much different team. Not sure how this match will go. Could be a classic match, or not if one team has an off night. Your mention of Iosia reminds me that I'm glad we are back to starting the fall lineup, especially on Thursday. Need to match Wisconsin's height with our own. |

Khat is one of those players who irritates you is she is on the other team, but you would really like if she's on yours. |

They lacked that and seemed almost shell-shocked after set one until set 5. |

Badgers are gonna have to pass better than a 1.96. Texas also serves a lot better than Florida.

Actually it seemed they didn't get back their energy, and seemingly their confidence, until making the run after being down 9-5 in the fifth. |

Kinda hard to root for either of these teams right now. I was really shocked by some of the Wisconsin players and their attitude last night. It wasn’t just typical swagger and sass. There were multiple instances where cards should have been issued IMO. Weird Bc I had never seen that from them. Everything bothers you. What else is new? |

What else is new? did Elliot hire you to come on here and defend Texas at all costs. From anything and everything that could possibly be taken as a criticism of the Texas program? |

If you can't handle replies, don't post. |

With all due respect you seem to criticize more that one program. lol He constantly takes passive-aggressive jabs at Texas, Stanford, and Nebraska (and possibly others). Then plays the victim when he gets called out. It's a never-ending cycle. |
