Edit: Ok--I think I figured it out! Here is the view from the front row of the junction of Section EE/FF ( wibadgervbfan : how did you make yours so big, and not run afoul of the 1 MB limitation on uploads?) I just chose the original size option when I went to submit the post. |

As a Gopher fan, my heart says pick MN. It's tough for a team to beat another team 3 times. It's also tough for a team to get to the final 4 three straight years. And the scappy Gophs have this karma going on as well as the best player in college volleyball (if she's healthy). But my head says that Wisc is a better team and has a big home court advantage along with a favorable match-up of personnel. I didn't care for how MN played most of the Baylor match and while I think they'll clean some of this up it may not be enough against Bucky. So I'm going to reluctantly say Wisc in a sweep. Lordy I hope I'm wrong. I have posted this before here regarding beating a team 3 times. It is a fallacy often repeated with no numerical basis. For example, in Wisconsin's history, they have had 14 situations where one of the two teams won the first 2 matches and then played a 14 time. In 13 of those situations, the team which won the first two won the 3rd time. There are other examples which I have posted showing similar. Can we please stop this nonsense? |

I sat right over the mini scoreboard on the same side and enjoyed it. Ironic:. "front row guy" is walking along the court in this photo! TIM! |

Rumor has it (started by me) that he/they didn't even go home after the match on Thursday, they just queued up for Saturday. They're out there in the rain right now! |

Gopher confidence is at an all time high going into this one. We’ll see if that makes a difference tomorrow night and they can avenge their past few matches against the Badgers.

Minnesota has also won their last 3 Elite 8 matches. We’ll see if they can extend their streak of good luck in this round tomorrow knock on wood.

Inquiring minds want to know!😊 He likes his front row end zone seats in GA, and he will thus be at the front of the queue waiting for an hour before the match, when the doors open, to go in and claim them. |

I totally agree with your sentiments. I don't get why it's always said like it's a universal sports truth. Even if it were "hard" - what's MUCH harder is beating a team once after losing to them twice. |

I don’t see anything in this post regarding seating. Did you not get the memo? Seating? I also don't see anything at all about seating so why are you asking? The last two pages have been all about seating. Am I the only one who has noticed? |
