Looks like Wisconsin v. Florida has to beat an attendance of 15,797 (Creighton v. Nebraska this evening) to get the regular season attendance record wrested away from the Huskers/Blue Jays.
I wonder if it can be done.

I wonder if it can be done. Every indication is they've already sold essentially all 17,200 whatever tickets. And I doubt the 15.8K reported tonight was tickets actually scanned; that number is almost certainly tickets sold. Wisconsin does ultimately report number of tickets scanned, though not until spring, and it can be hard to find some years.

What were the "priorities" she was looking for, ha.

What were the "priorities" she was looking for, ha. Setting the middle frequently is one she specified. Also, I enjoyed reading all the good things she had to say about the program, players, and coaching staff. And that "[Borecki] had heard nothing but good things [about Sheffield] from his network of coaching friends in the States"

FWIW, tonight against Creighton - Nebraska avoids the reverse sweep by winning the 5th set (!) - Nebraska ran their 6-2 with Knuckles subbing in to the back row (with a wrinkle that ultimately doesn't affect the overall count). In the second set, they were right up against the limit; 14 subs used and (mostly) DS Knuckles and 'the other setter' 5' 9" Anni Evans both on the court. So the question was if it lasts another couple sideouts, do they use sub #15 to get a left side hitter in for Knuckles or last year's #1 setter Nicklin Haymes back onto the court in place of shorter Evans? But the set ended before we got an answer. But the third set did last long enough, and what they did was (the opposite of what I expected) sub out Knuckles for outside Haydn Kubik, leaving Evans on the floor as effectively the 5-1 forever setter.. Unfortunately, that set ended before Evans had to rotate to play the front row. But the scores of those sets weren't particularly outrageous, 25-23 and 25-27. So when Bramschreiber is available, if we're still in a 6-2, we can count on sets where 'plan B' goes into effect. I don't get your comment about Knuckles subbing into the back row. She is in the back row all the time except if Hames is the first server in a set Cook may have Knuckles do one rotation in the front row. Knuckles loves to hit. She was a tremendous hitter in high school & club inspite of only being 5' 8". I heard Knuckles loves to block too. I did see that Cook started Knuckles out at ... right front, I think, in a few sets (rotation 2). Makes total sense to me from a 6-2 standpoint of you always want to start a setter in the serving spot. We won't have a DS who can do that, unless Bamschrieber surprises me - her sister after all is a 5-9 OH at TCU so maybe she has it in her. (side note - I'm still stunned Member-Meneh plays OH as effective as she does at 5'8"). But even in that one rotation, it felt like Knuckles got exploited a bit in set 4.

. Awesome writeup. I have yet to find one of these recruits perspectives from these stories not impressed if not gobsmacked by the excellent atmosphere in Madison. 😁

Why we discussing a Nebraska match at length in the Wisconsin forum? lol I think the idea is to see how Nebraska manages a 6-2 with a DS to improve ball control when it takes an extra sub. That might suggest ways that UW could manage using a DS eventually. But it did get get little bit into the weeds for this forum. It happens because if you say anything about the huskers, one of them will jump in to the convo.

It looks like there may be 100 or less still available, according to the seating chart/map. I don't know what capacity for the Kohl Center is for the volleyball set-up. Yup, looks like sales went pretty well...I hope everyone shows up now.

I assume you're talking about the (September) match in Minneapolis, right?
Otherwise you have until mid-late October, and things could change for lots of ticket holders who may have extra tickets in the Field House by then.... No, I meant Madison and yes, it's kind of early, but I've seen inventory even on stubhub get pretty low for big matches and my trip is already booked, so would just like to make sure I have a ticket. I may know of some people who won't use tickets. Let us know how you fared...

Why we discussing a Nebraska match at length in the Wisconsin forum? lol Because they are running the same 6-2 offense with the same sub count issue that was discussed here and that Wisconsin will have to deal with when Bramschreiber becomes available.

My guess is those are all tickets that were sold and then 'turned back' to the ticket office by people who discovered they can a conflict, etc. I don't know why the Athletic Dept would 'save them' up and then post them all one day. But a day or two ago, none of them showed as available. Capacity for the Kohl Center in the 'basketball' setup is listed at 17,287

I assumed Cook was doing that because it delays the Knuckles-for-leftside sub until the end of the six position rotation instead of having to make the substitution right away, for whatever that's worth. But then in the 5th set where you still get the full 15 substitutions and running out will almost certainly not be an issue, Cook started her at right-front anyway. So

So I noticed that too as I think about it. Maybe with H Kubik subbed in for that OH spot they decided to not shake anything else up?

The PA announcer Bonnie is going to have her hands full with the 2024 roster.
Speaking of which, is it Gooch TEK in , or GOOCH te kin? I ve heard both and I thought it was the former.
