Should be an easy sweep for Wisconsin. Will Rutgers get over 18 points in a set?

[rainbowbadger]

Bonus points to the first person to guess the theme.

Of note: Rutgers VB is no longer playing games in the old College Avenue Gym, which was home to the first rain-out in NCAA indoor volleyball history, when the Wisconsin/Rutgers volleyball game was paused due to a leaky roof causing puddles on the court during the game.

Time to step up and be measured?

Well, UW won't be calling it a draw...

[hammer]

This is a B1G match as opposed to a BIG match. It does afford Rutgers a little more coverage (publicity) than normal because of who is going to take them to the woodshed and beat them senseless ...

[Wiswell]

This is not the Rutgers of old.

Beware of the third set woes, at minimum.

Are they the Rutgers of last February?

I'm wondering how the RAC will feel with volleyball. Rutgers was starting to get a larger audience at the college ave gym, and it was a much more intimate location. I imagine they don't want to be rained out though. The quality of the infrastructure is probably the real issue that led them to move.

Have to see if I can make this. It being on a Saturday makes it possible.

Their athletic dept website would make it seem that they're still practicing in the College Avenue Gym, but I'd imagine the game-day facilities are much better in the RAC. No doubt it'll be... cavernous. Like Iowa in the pre-Bond days.

badgerbreath, I'm sure the team would be thrilled to see you if you can make the drive.

Have you no shame, rainbowbadger? Seriously? A thread for this match? What next, a pictorial on how to pull the wings off of butterflies?

(But seriously, you may yet regret this. Rutgers is stepping up and woe to them who think it's the same ol-same ol Rutgers.)
