Hmmmm. Came here to see the Nebraska volleyball news. 2 pages of arguing over not-volleyball. Next thread! The discussion is about volleyball players at a volleyball game taking a knee, and volleyball fans yelling at those volleyball players during said volleyball game. Seems very volleyball to me! Strange that fans think something is not-volleyball, while the volleyball athletes think that taking a knee has a place within volleyball, considering they did it during a volleyball game. I apologize. I went back 5 pages and found the thread of the thread.....

I feel like there's a middle ground between sweeping it under the rug and attacking each other. the middle ground is discussion on why Nicklin can’t set behind her, why Caffey is limited sets, how to utilize Knuckles appropriately on a BIC, why Kubik has resorted back to using only high hands and not smacking the ball in a sharp cross court, how to get Krause hitting that line shot she had perfected… I mean, it’s a volleyball forum. Does anyone really think after the 2 years we’ve gone through that we wanna come on here and do political talk when the season is at its prime? No disrespect to you-I’ve always valued your posts. Just saying.. An interesting point brought up here and I am wondering the same thing, why is Caffey getting limited sets? In general, if she gets a half decent set she will almost always turn it into a point. GBR

I feel like it was automatic early on B1G play and it’s just been absent.

Way too low...really weird adjustments in the air for her and Stivrins actually.

Anyone know when the start time will be decided for the Nebraska-Purdue match in West Lafayette on November 27?
I have tickets, but my wife and I are visiting kids in Maine for Thanksgiving. We will be landing at IND around 5:00 pm that day, and can probably make the match if it starts 7:00 pm or later. Otherwise, I'll think about giving away the tix.
My prediction is 7 pm ET with the Old Oaken Bucket 🪣 game at noon ET (still TBD on schedule). 👍 Can’t imagine they will move it up with the stadium full of 🏈 fans. If football moves to 3 pm ET (unlikely) it could move back. Well, put me down as wrong on Purdue vs Indiana football - now 3:30 ET for TV 🤯 so volleyball 🏐 moves to 9 pm ET start for the big Nebraska matchup 👍🚂🏐 sounds like your schedule will work 😃

Way too low...really weird adjustments in the air for her and Stivrins actually. honestly, nicklin’s best and most consistent set is a 2 ball, and they don’t run it often enough IMO. Obviously you can’t do it a lot bc it’s more of a secret weapon, but a few times a set I feel would be beneficial. All 3 of those outsides can hit it. Our best games are Nicklin’s best games. I dislike putting it all on her shoulders, but she’s gotta be more consistent. And diversify the offense. 4 straight sets to Lauren at the end of set 4 and then a set to Kubik on the pipe was RIDICULOUS given how sun was swinging. Then she gets the set and ends the game.

Oh listen, I plan to, I have fried chicken and a diet Pepsi waiting for me. Life is good. Who the hell drinks Pepsi? What the hell is the point of this post? This is exactly what he’s talking about. Instead of just letting things go you come on here and attack him just to egg him on some more. Knox it off. And for the record I think Diet Pepsi is delicious. GBR

I was watching some 2018 tourney games and Nicklin was setting quite a bit better then than she has at all this season tbh. Her setting in the tourney that year was a big reason we looked much better than in the regular season.
She’s going to have to do something similar this post-season if the team wants to make a decent run in the tourney. As her setting stands now, this team is no better than a sweet 16 team, and I would say has a very realistic chance at getting taken out in the second round.
Not to put the blame all on her, but the passing has been better than the last two seasons. Not great, but better than previously. She has the same hitters, and one who even upped her game, but the team is performing significantly worse offensively. She’s capable of being an above average, and at times quite good setter, but this season her setting has straight up been bad at times.

GBR The point was to add some levity to a topic that has generated a lot of anger and name calling. Of course leave it to someone to label that an “attack”
