Nice ranked sweep for the Badgers last night! Just now seeing the box score.
Been feeling the impulse to make the drive up tomorrow for my maiden game at the Field House but would be neglecting a bunch of stuff- gonna have to pass and tune in from IL. Hope we get a good one!

Let us know when you do decide to make the drive. We can have a VT meetup.

No. Neglect that stuff and come. The stuff will still be there.

No. Neglect that stuff and come. The stuff will still be there. Had Illinois prevailed last night, I'd have probably ridden that wave of enthusiasm to Madison. Alas, you'll have one fewer fan in the stands tomorrow in the orange and blue, whooping it up with every Illini point... but we'll see y'all soon in Huff!

I still think Wisconsin is one of the top 5 teams in the country and the team to beat for the title in the B1G. The frustration I see in the Badger fans is due to their unrealistic expectation that an assembly of great players, no matter how good, can just reload and play as well every match as the once-in-a-generation team that virtually all graduated after last year. Be happy with the abundance of talent you have. As for this match, you match up very well against Illinois on paper. But... Call on Line 2 from Dave Shondell... Well, badger fans would prefer that last year's breakthrough was not a one off. We remember how long it took the badgers to win a B1G championship the last time we changed setter (and much of the team). That setter turned out to be a 3x first team all american and it's really not clear the two setters we currently have can rise to that level. It's also a new style of play that is a little hard to get used to. I have a hard time thinking the badgers are a top 5 team now, though I'm not sure I'm that confident I know who the top 5 would be. They are just not consistent enough. They don't adapt fast enough. They are too error prone. Those things could get better. The question is whether that second touch can get a lot better.

I have seen Wisconsin come from far behind and win vs Illinois . At home. I have seen Wisconsin vomit up 6 match points and lose. At home. I got nothin. And I just saw Wisconsin projectile vomit the ball way out of bounds at Minnesota. I have also seen the Badgers be given bland "toast (aka free balls) numerous times in the last two matches, and still vomit them up. So 🤮🤢 Glass half full person, huh?

Happy game day! I hope the student section shows up. Volleyball is going to put up a better showing against Illinois than football did.

I’m told that it contains liquid. I have no other information at this time, and I’m not going to speculate.

Would love a lineup prediction for the Badgers today!
I think the Illini are likely to use the same lineup as in Friday's game:
S: Diana Brown (5-1 system) L: Caroline Barnes RS: Kayla Burbage, DS: Becca Sakoda OH: Raina Terry (six rotations) OH: Brooke Mosher, DS: Sophie Gregus MB: Kennedy Collins MB: Kyla Swanson

I have nothing to say, I just want to be updated when there are new posts. On that point (which doesn't just apply to this thread), I like it when people include the scores in their posts... and actually who won at the end. A lot of times I read through others matches in progress or after to see how it unfolds, and still can't figure the scores until I look at the stats. That's the boring way to find out!
