Did you know…?
Wisconsin and Nebraska are home to the two federally recognized tribes of the Ho-Chunk people: the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Originally located in Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Northeastern Iowa, a large portion of the Ho-Chunk were forcibly relocated west by white colonizers in the 1800s.
“We have always been here,” states the Ho-Chunk oral tradition. That assertion is backed by the presence of 4000 effigy mounds in Wisconsin, including 38 on the UW Madison campus. The effigy mounds are just a part of Wisconsin’s rich archaeology and the heritage of our indigenous peoples. In the past two years, two ancient dugout canoes have been recovered from Lake Mendota. One is estimated to be 1200 years old and the other, recovered last month, is around 3000 years old. The most recent find is a 14.5 foot vessel carved from a single piece of white oak. Both canoes are being cleaned and preserved a the Wisconsin Historical Society and will likely go on display in 2026.
Thanks for sharing these fascinating stories. What amazing finds. My understanding is that the Winnebago were on a barge being relocated to the Dakotas. The barge anchored for the night on the Missouri River where the Omaha Reservation was located. The Winnebago snuck representatives off the barge and negotiated with the Omaha to buy reservation land. Thus the Winnebago and Omaha are located in NE on adjacent reservations. |

As a 6'5 OH, it's going to be the last thing in her toolbox to learn probably, just because it's come up so infrequently in her career when she can't just go over. Even in the B1G, most teams can't challenge her the way Wisconsin can. What makes Batenhorst frustrating is not that she hasn't learned to tool very well (which is still frustrating), it's the amount of times she rolls. I would think at 6'5 she's used to hitting over the block and would get blocked a lot with the bigger blocks in the B1G. She actually doesn't. She bends her elbow eliminating her height advantage and then rolls it over. A lot. Better this year than last, but she still does it quite a bit. My observations indicate she has made significant progress the last couple of games. Time for a break out performance by Batenhorst and Krause. |

I think Nebraska's best player at each position (Kubik, Lauenstein, Hord, Hames, Rodriguez) are all better than Wisconsin's best player at those positions, and that gives them a lot of advantage. But Wisconsin has a lot more depth at both pins, Nebraska is not as terminal from the left side (Kubik's strength is her all-around game), and UW's block is better. Wisconsin serves really well and Nebraska passes really well and I can't wait to see how that all works out. But as someone pointed out, Wisconsin goes on error streaks on a semi-regular basis, and they have to limit that if they want to compete against Nebraska. Hart isn't flashy but is second in the BIG in blocks and hitting percentage. Hard pressed to say Hord is playing at a higher level now. Robinson is hitting more than 100 points higher than Lauenstein with the same blocks a set. Not sure about the analysis looking at statistics. To clarify, I do not think the difference is large at any position except Libero. And I think we hold edges in termination from the left side (both our outsides are better than Batenhorst, and Kubik's edge is in all-around play), our second right-side hitter, and tactical flexibility - we have better back-row attacks and our opposites and middles invert much better (by which I mean the OPP hits a quick while the MB hits slide or something else on the right). And our last edge has to show up - terminal blocks. Someone put the stats up or mentioned it, Nebraska has similar percentages with block touches but our team roofs the opponents better, and with Nebraska's weakest part of their game being terminating, we have to serve and spike them out of system and then put their attacks back down on their side to gain a decisive edge. |

So if we were collectively making a drinking game for tonight what would be on it? Every time they mention it’s a rematch from last year’s natty - drink Every time they mention Wisconsin’s streak over Nebraska - husker fans take a drink. Every time they mention #1 Nebraska - badger fans take a drink. Texas gets mentioned. Take a shot. On screen graphic of all the ranked B1G programs. Take 3. Mention the final four in Omaha. Take 2. Cook slams down his clipboard. Huskers drink. Reflection off Kelly’s head blinds the camera. Badgers drink. Coach can’t find the challenge card. Finish your drink. |

Not to overhype these two fsn bases, but is this the most pivotal match of the season so far? Pitt Louisville felt like it, but this feels even bigger.

With these rules we wouldn't get past the first set without alcohol poisoning and cirrhosis of the liver! |

Pre-game warm-up: Every time Michaela Chester tells Emily Ehman that THAT player was going to be HER pick (watch the video). Take two shots. You'll forget what match you're supposed to be watching before game time. |

Wisconsin defends home turf. i don't see the huskers occupy the field house for a prolonged period, either. |

Badgers are smelly I read earlier in this thread? Is that so...?
Corn has nothing on a Badger! I literally HATE corn. Never trust food that looks the same after a trip through the digestive system.

Kubick's going to have to find her way to the locker room before she can get back to Lincoln.

I think the rematch of the NC is giving it even more fanfare (nationally not locally). But I would agree that this has got to be up there with top 4 seeds in play, Big 10 championship implication, Nebraska newly number 1 and many people interested in the streak ending or continuing and then on top of that a good amount of people who want to see if Nebraska deserves that number 1 ranking. For me, I'm scared %*$#less like its final four time haha. |
