Regarding the status of the 6-2 versus the 5-1: We appear to have only two setters on the roster. Am I wrong in thinking that if either setter gets hurt we are back to a 5-1? We may be committed to a 6-2, but we not in a position to fully abandon the 5-1.

Other years, what articles they did run were be the UW football reporter, Jeff Potrykus. The articles this year are from a guy whose name I don't recognize; clearly it is a new assignment and a new "beat" for the Journal. As for Fiserv: I've said here, and I just left a comment there, that I don't think Sheffield was hinting at Fiserv, I think he was hinting at American Family Field. It's not a given that they would sell out Fiserv or sell more tickets than Fiserv/Kohl capacity for a game at American Family Field. If in Madison I bet they could get more than 17K at some hypothetical venue but maybe not in Milwaukee? Just contemplating a likelihood or possibility of "beating" this year's capacity at Kohl Center.

Part of this is an "arms race" - or maybe some other body part - with Nebraska for "largest crowd ever", etc. When the KC match was announced, our friends at the VT Nebraska threads started talking about 'outdoor' stadium matches vs Creighton. If you get 17K at Fiserv after having gotten 17K at the Kohl Center, it doesn't further your lead in the "butts race". But 25K or whatever it would end up being at AmFam does.

I was just curious what the Milwaukee events (Fiserv or Am fam) would draw. Would be a bit of a downer if Am Fam drew a lot less than expected. Fiserv can be a test I guess. Whatever it draws, it can be a positive (even if less than Kohl), and if it does sell out or close then yeah, next step roofed stadium

The example would be the outdoor hockey game phenomenon that seems to have run its course. And the actual scanned ticket count for the most recent 'Fill The Bowl' for women's hockey.

I think it would be a big deal for Marquette volleyball to get 17k at Fiserv. If you are talking about growing the game in Wisconsin, and showing that a local rivalry has pull that extends outside of Madison and into the largest WI metro area, FISERV makes a lot of sense. A key for the badgers to stay relevant is to grow the game in Wisconsin, and that kind of exposure would help. Sheff was pretty clear that they aren't going to pull a Kohl Center event every year. He was worried about exhausting the cachet of these kinds of events, especially when such large arenas aren't great for the fan experience. Maybe the speed at which Kohl tickets sold convinced him otherwise, but I think he could be thinking about something other than Nebraska here - reaching a new audience in Wisconsin.

Watching Nebraska - LMU match right now. Huskers are running a 6-2 with Hames and Anni Evans. Both setters putting up safe, hittable balls. Middles hitting for kills in front of the setters. Nebraska is not flashy, but those good connections are very effective and efficient for the Huskers. Nice to have at least one seasoned veteran setter, regardless of the system employed.
Just think itz interesting given the Badger experience to start this season.

Hames has been a B1G setter for more years than the two Badgers setters have been in matches; four years vs two and three matches.

2 Marquette vs Wisconsin VB Tickets for Friday September 2. Tickets are together courtside Section E, Row 7, Seats 7 & 8. Chairback, Unrestricted View $80 ($40 apiece. Stub Hub not working for me.) PM me to make arrangements. SOLD SOLD Stub Hub has made a few programming corrections, enough to provide a listing on their site for selling my tickets. I reduced the price to $36, the same price as shown on Stub Hub, but Stub Hub will add a service charge to the $36. PM me to make arrangements.

That was clearly the point I was making, without stating the very, very obvious.

Someone suggested we wouldn't be very good in a 5-1 with our personnel and our passing woes. No way we are a not very good team in running the 5-1 with our personnel. Boyer and Demps ( and Shanel when available) add a ton to our backrow prowess in a 5-1 they don't really see the backrow in a 6-2. Currently the 6-2 configuration puts alot of pressure on our overall performance as we simply don't have the inclination of putting some of our best defenders back there in the 6-2.
Also, how are we practicing the 6-2? To Maximize improvement we should be playing in practice against 2 setters in a 6-2 configuration. Is this assistant coaches with setting experience? Volunteer setter from the men's club team?

Volunteer setter from the men's club team? Practice isn't full six vs six scrimmaging all the time. You can put Izzy's hitters on the floor and practice her rotations with MJ either doing nothing or playing back-right defense. Then reverse it, practice MJ's hitters and rotations with Izzy on the other side of the court.
