And I was explaining to you that when there are only three possible targets, saying a team is focusing specifically on one of them is probably a bit subjective without numbers to back it up. Do you know what the actual serve-receive numbers were for Thursday night? Sidearm stats will show them in their box scores, but if there was one for Thursday night, I'm not finding it. But in terms of serve-receive errors. aka aces, if they were targeting Orzol, she held up quite well, because she was not aced the entire match. Calling someone "little guy" is being disrespectful, no matter the circumstances. I assume you know that. Stop it. Oh, I see you are actually little and insecure about it. I'm sorry that I added to your insecurity issues. I will try to remember your issues. I wasn't just referring to the last match against Penn State when I was noting Julia's weak swings and teams targeting her with SOME of their serves. Again, she is still a developing player and getting better every match. She is a keeper. I went through the video of the third set, looking at who received what serves: Franklin took nine while in the backrow, and three while in front: 12 total, aced once in front and once in back GG took six serves. Two were likely meant for Franklin, but GG 'poached' them. Orzol took five serves, all while backrow. There was one service error, long. I'll look at set four and post that in a few minutes. ------------------------------------ Fourth set: Franklin received seven serves, all while backrow. GG received eleven serves, five were aces. There was one ball headed for GG that Franklin poached, and one headed for Franklin that GG poached (one of the aces) After Franklin was subbed out, Demps received two serves. Orzol received three serves, all while backrow, one after Franklin subbed out. One service error, long. --------------------------- So in both bad receive sets, the player supposedly being targeted in fact had the fewest serves hit her direction. More light, less heat. |

Ok people. This Pitt-WI matchup is a new thing. Let's be civilized and argue over whether Clemente or Molitor was the great BB player of all time for their respective teams and not this other nonsense. You know, like when MN and WI argue over whether Minneapolis is rather further north. ;-) Clemente had it all, what a hose from right field… and a heart to match… gone too soon |

This quote from Fisher has me just generally excited: “It’s an interesting challenge,” Pittsburgh coach Dan Fisher said. “They’re a physical team with a good block and we’re a team that likes to take rips. So that’ll probably be one of the story lines, their block and us getting after it.” Let's do this. Strength on strength. Elite eight volleyball. Yeah, but Dan failed to mention that Robinson and Franklin will be taking "rips" as well. I certainly hope Frank is taking rips and not the dinky tippy roll shots she falls back to when she gets in her head. We need her in attack mode. |

On the Orzol discussion... who would you put in her place for passing? that always goes unanswered.

Moli was great, but you said we are talking the greatest players for Milwaukee and Pittsburgh all-time. |

I'm not saying she needs to hit .300, but at least .150-.200ish. she hit that against TCU and that game didn't even end up relatively close. that was the big difference imo (that and CC) |

Against any other team on the planet I would be a Pitt fan, but not today! And I didn't consider Aaron, because on a technicality he was mostly a Brave. |

No "technicality" in you not knowing the Braves were in Milwaukee before Atlanta. |

So that’ll probably be one of the story lines, their block and us getting after it.” Let's do this. Strength on strength. Elite eight volleyball. No shade on a fine Pitt squad. This is going to be a great match. But this is worth the mention. Fisher is not wrong except that the Badgers were generally a better hitting team, on paper, down the stretch (November) playing a brutal B1G schedule. That means the Badgers took more “rips” during that time, and were significantly better at putting the ball down (hitting%). |

I could give the history of every expansion team in baseball.
He's the greatest Brave of all time. He was a Brave for 53-65. The Milwaukee Braves are not the current Brewers. The Atlanta Braves came from Boston then Milwaukee.
His time as a "Brewer" was very short.
We can call him the best player to play in Milwaukee if it makes you feel better.
And good news... you are a jerk in the PsU and Badger threads so at least you are consistent.

where can I bet these odds Those odds are from my "local guy" who uses action247 platform for mobile betting. Ca doesn't offer legal sports betting. Texas is -615 and Stanford -215. I don't see any for L'ville. |

I don't know Dan Fisher well(played against him a couple times on the beach), but something about him rubs me the wrong way. Just the things he says and how he carries himself. Does he have something I am missing to back up this cockiness? A good coach, but please sit down Dan until you do something. |

Well that is a hilarious observation coming this new poster.
Fisher has a bunch of ACC championships and a final four. Seems good enough to me.
For example, we could compare him to McCutcheon and it seems like a draw, no?
