Wondering who/ how many middles Wisconain has targeted in a particular recruiting cycle (2024 in this case)? In basketball and football we hear about every offer for scholarships. I kind of like how volleyball is different but wonder why the culture for the players is not to tweet out offers and draw even more attention to their accumen. Is it the coaches that are mandating secrecy? I dont think so. I know jordyn byrd posted her offers before committing to texas on her instagram (purdue, texas, PSU, florida, and wisconsin)

Madison Mallards. The Muskies were a A affiliate of the Oakland A's that moved to Michigan in the 90s. Ooops! I'm old. I still remember the Madison Muskies TV ad jingle. “Hey-ho! The Madison Muskies!”

Today was ticket delivery in person day for the team (including GG, BTW). I missed out again! :-( Haven't heard anything on print at home yet.

Well, the last time the badgers brought in a high ranking setter and a middle as recruits, they did pretty well. Can't wait to hear more about her! EDIT: Sorry, the last TWO times. Poor Siena. It's one N.

Yeah, I don't think "ticket delivery day" is an accurate description anymore. Give out t-shirts and signed balls day, more like it. (Although there are still actual paper tickets in some instances. 'Friends and family' and recruits would regularly show up in section E with paper tickets, though not the player photo four color printed ones that we used to get. Molly Haggerty 2019 vs Nebraska is my current bookmark.)

Hey Badger fans!! Couple questions for you guys. I’m looking to head down for a few matches this year and maybe the scrimmage: What section would you recommend? Are the GA seats any good, and if so, how early should you arrive to get a *good* GA seat? What is parking like in the area around the field house for matches? Prices/availability? I believe I’m staying at a hotel on the west side of Madison so debating ubering to Campus vs. paying for parking in the area? Thanks everyone. I’ll be cheering for the Badgers in every game except vs. the Gophers

Sit in end zone. Good GA seat means 30-40 minutes ahead. If you are willing to walk, park in lot 40 for free, near Babcock Dairy. About 0.40 miles walk across University Ave and down Terrace. You can certainly drive down.
Otherwise nearby lots are going to charge 5-10 dollars. If you are there an hour early and don't park in lot 40, you should still be able to get free street parking (with probably the same distance walk anyway).
You can always find free parking if you are willing to walk about a half mile. Even right before the game.

So I feel like an idiot, but I'm trying to decide if it's worth renewing my BTN+ subscription this year. I looked at the Badgers schedule and am only seeing matches on BTN or ESPN2. Then I tried looking at the BTN website and some of those matches say B1G+ so now I'm confused.

Then I tried looking at the BTN website and some of those matches say B1G+ so now I'm confused. They are usually late getting the BTN+ matches up, and I imagine they’ll get most online. But I also am a little uncertain what the shifting media landscape means for streaming access to B1G matches. It’s not a dumb question.

If it is on regular BTN, BTN-Plus will have a streamed replay of it available later that day or the next day. (And depending on which subscription option you choose, other B1G school volleyball matches or Badger sports will likewise be available.) Non-conference may be a little more hit-and-miss, but matches played in Madison will also be available, either live or as a replay.

I know Michigan home matches are not always streamed for whatever reason. They can be really late getting some matches on the schedule.

I have an all-school, all-sport subscription, and I've gone back to watch prior year UW matches (available through 2014). I could take a look and see whether all Michigan matches are there from last year, for example. Do you recall any specific dates?

We talk about it on the board every time it happens. Something about conflicts with other sporting events and lack of resources for UM to cover both, or some such. I think the latest case involving the badgers was 2019 in Ann Arbor, though I could have that wrong.

The entire 2021 Michigan Big Ten schedule, plus non-conference played in Ann Arbor are available at BTN-Plus. Oct 27 2019 at Michigan is indeed NOT available at BTN-Plus. Michigan St on Oct 25th is, so it must be a Michigan thing. That's a first in my experience. I don't recall that, maybe I was occupied watching the Packers, so didn't really notice or care, etc. With rare exception, then, games and matches are available as I described.
