This ticket situation appears to be a money-grab by the Badger Athletics Department. I’ve been inside the Fieldhouse. It’s a sauna with typical wooden seats. New AC this year apparently. Also the really large increases are for new seats with backs

Also the really large increases are for new seats with backs And the benches are red 'plastic'. Not wood. I imagine they were wood at some point, but not recently.

I've had two GA tickets in the past, but asked for Silver this year. Zero donations. What am I looking at? Red at best? I don't think anybody really knows. How many people balk at the big - in some cases huge - price increases? Conventional wisdom would say getting silver would be umlikely, but who know, I think may be true, as some people maintain VB season tickets just to get more points for good seats at Kohl Center or Camp Randall. Now that gold and silver tickets are considerably more expensive, I would think some will let those tickets slide and purchase cheaper seats. If you only attend a few times a year, do you really need the most expensive seats? Some of those seats ought to be coming open for others.

Any lineup predictions? I’ll admit this is one of those transfer loaded teams that I’m very interested in what the final result will be.

We have a darn good team even after losing 5 SUPER seniors three of which were essentially All-Americans. Hammil will be no Hilley but she will be great in her own way. Libero is the big question mark. We have refortified the position with talent but I can't help but thinking we take a sizeable step backward there this year. Barnes leaves some BIG shoes to fill. Of the tape I have seen of Gulce of her Turkish Pro League matches her reaction time appeared slow and out of position more than average to my eye. Now when the ball is in her wheelhouse she made some phenomenal digs. So I think the brakes should be pumped on Gulce.

My guess for libero is it will be like when Barnes arrived and she and Clark had to figure out how to play next to one another. It didn't really matter which one was wearing the opposite color, they were going to be next to each other. And it took some time for them to get used to it. But once they did, it was really good.

Barnes has really upped her game from when she first arrived. Clark was clearly the better performer when they initially started playing together. Barnes was very good and elevated to elite since. These two and Joselyn are the main competitors this year. Seemingly Boyer should have the built-in advantage of experience in the system and existing chemistry with team. But there was a seperation with Clark/Barnes. In comparison this time around is like a big mystery with maybe Bramshreider having the advantage due to experience against Power 5 competition at the libero position and performing at an all-conference level in the process. Should be a very interesting positional battle.

Ironically, Barnes an Clark played together in High School…with Barnes at Libero and Clark a 6 rotation OH. There wasn’t all that much sorting out to be done😀

I knew they were on the same team but that is remarkable. Was Clark OH her whole high school career?

Since the addition of Bramschreiber, I’m not worried about libero. You have three competent people at that position now. One will step up. You have Orzol passing beside them, and maybe Franklin, who was a more dependable passer than Loberg last year.
The only real question is how much the loss of Hilley affects the diversity and efficiency of the offense.

I don’t think Clark was a feature hitter, but not bad. They ended up with Clark & Barnes in Serve receive all the time, which ain’t shabby for a HS squad.

I would like to see Izzy do some setting but probably not much since she is the shorter player of the two.

Hart won’t be in the lineup much, if at all, in the preseason. Anything else at this point is just wild ass guessing at this point.

I think Robinson and CC are locks at middle if Hart can’t go at first. Also hard to see how you knock the Smrek/Demps combo out of the lineup based on end of last year - unless Hammill/Ashburn can’t develop a good connection with the BR attack. The real question is if they hold to a 6-2 or opt for some version of a 2 setter offense. They have the weapons and ball control to make either work.
