”Parity” = no one is great. That’s what that means. That’s what makes it interesting. Yeah, I mean it’s way better than college football where you’ve got maybe 4-6 teams that are going to piss pound everyone else 95% of the time. If VB had nearly the same 4 teams in the FF every year for a decade straight (or more), the sport would get pretty boring, pretty fast. |

Who went five with Kansas. Idk I don’t think they’re that much ahead of the curve. We’ll see! I think that was a fluke... TX turned it up to another level for the reverse sweep.. They go to five stars at Kansas almost every year, there’s just something about Lawrence lol. |

I always questioned Sheffield for his X's and O's... now I don't question it, he's out of his league... You saw how the 5-1 looked at the end. Badgers were outgunned. The block with Izzy at the net was non existent. They took advantage just like Haggerty look advantage of McMenimen in 2019. A 5-11 blocker against a 6-5 and a 6-4 hitter just won't work. |

Baby girl... he's running a %*$#ty 6-2 to apiece a 9 year program member (Izzy) ... he has Shrek, which clearly is unstoppable in the middle, trying to run her on RS like she's doing something there... Has the best potential Libero (Orzol) and likely one of the best freshman OH's (Wrobel) riding the pine and yet he chooses this garbage line up... Are we really going to depend on 80 swings from Franklin every match, 40 of which will be out or blocked... he's not a visionary, lacks the fortitude, that's very apparent. Winning a national championship as nothing to do with the coach, just look at Jerrod Elliot... |

Everyone versus The Texas All Stars is the theme this season Who went five with Kansas. Idk I don’t think they’re that much ahead of the curve. We’ll see! They look ahead of the curve to me. Just played crappy against a decent team playing their super bowl (sold out electric crowd). Choked the 2nd set away. But 3 through 5 looked in control the whole time. Sided out KU 100% in the 5th. KU cheated their middles to the pins all night long. When Texas made their adjustment to go to Eggleston out of the back row she was unstoppable. I doubt KU cheats like that the rest of the season. Doesn't mean Texas is unbeatable. No team is. But they look better and more consistent than anyone else. I still think Minnesota playing at their best is the 2nd best team in the country, but like so many teams in the top 10, they haven't found their groove, yet. Maybe tonight was it. Nebraska also looks like they can be really scary if they ever figure out how to play to their potential consistently. Plenty of season left. |

We saw the train headlights coming vs Florida. Obviously Sheffield thinks his OH can pass better than a DS and offer more offense, but I'm not so sure how bad sacrificing one would be at this point. 6-2 uses 12 subs after 3.0 rotations. If you sub a DS for OH. You are out of subs 2.5 R’s. High level SO teams runs you short often What Sheffield has been doing before tonight is using a serving sub the first time through the rotation but no DS, so six subs used after the first go-round, then deciding whether or not to use the same serving sub the second time depending on the score. Tonight he did the opposite; straight no 'other' sub used the first time around, so 4 used, then using a serving sub the second time through; so 10 used after twice around. He's gotten right up to the edge of 14 or 15 used a couple times, but the third set tonight was, I think, the first time he's used all 15 and had to resort to 'plan B', with Demps as six-rotation opposite and Izzy serving the remainder of the set. And it will all change when Bramschreiber becomes available in after four more matches. |

Justification: Mike Sealy - UCLA (2011 National Champions) I mean, I have the same number if NCAA national championships as McCutcheon, so that feels like fair game. 🥳 |

Did it really seem that way? I know Ehman said that, but it looked like Landfair hit over the middle, cross court once and the second time it was just one-on-one, and yes, Landfair won that match-up. But it wasn’t any different during the 6-2 rotation the entire match either |

Took advantage because they never practiced it or actually attempted to use in a match, I rather take a non blocking 5-2 setter that can keep hitters in rithym versus sets all over the place and all of your hitters and jab stepping knowing the tragetory of the set... |

Winning a national championship as nothing to do with the coach, just look at Jerrod Elliot... You're panicking. If you don't pass, it doesn't matter if Smrek is in the middle, she's not getting the ball. And when teams find out that Hart and CC can't hit of two feet on the RS, they know we're going to her anyway. Rettke and Hilley bailed us out so often because they could run a slide on a pass to the 10' line. That opened up the court for Smrek. They need to get the passing together before Smrek can be a threat from the middle. In the mean time, she has to learn to hit out of the right side. |
