A question for Minny faithful : is this a competitive spirit weakness for the team? There are some chill personalities on team and observationally it seems last night spirited competitors: today a different personality! Is this a one off anomaly or a dangerous team vibe? Sure seems like a one off anomaly. Everything about the Gophers today was nothing like we’ve seen all season. The passing, the blocking, the floor defense, the team spirit… it was nothing like any match this season. I’m guessing (and hoping) just an anomaly.

They don't know the words to the alma mater, and they don't want to be embarrassed. I get it. But you gotta stay and show the ladies some love at the end regardless. I wasn't even remotely serious. They're trying to beat the traffic. They all are, everywhere it happens.

So we're perhaps looking at 3-5 for the Card when they start PAC 12? Ooops, the Card says no! Lol!

Minnesota couldn't pass and shaffmasters attempts at bump setting certainly don't help. I think this was just a bad day for them and its not like Stanford is some nobody lol... getting crushed in the lat set was bad but losing to Stanford on its own isnt some major blemish on a resume. I still would call Minnesota the better team but Stanford played a very good match

Starting out tipping everything didn't work out as a good strategy to keep the energy going.

Pretty poor showing, especially in front of your home crowd. It makes me appreciate the win streak that Russ Rose and Penn State had even more. There are always going to be fluctuations on the level of a team's play, but how do you keep the difference between the floor and ceiling, narrow? That's what concerns me about this team, and actually the last few teams MN has had. Their floor and ceiling are so far apart. They can look like national champion contenders one match and a middle of the conference team in the next match.

I guess maybe - they started with a weekend against an unranked and Baylor. Then a weekday match against Texas and Sunday against Florida. So, I guess maybe just tired who knows

All that biking, must be why Landfair hits so many flat footed rolls I try to refrain from explicitly ripping a player, but the effort she puts into OOS hitting is flat out embarrassing. Gotta help your team out and better the ball. If you’re not willing to do that then don’t be an outside hitter.

Am I seeing this correctly? 23 blocks by Stanford? Yikes.

He always preaches low error volletball and not trying to do too much.
