Michigan was up 19-11 against Bowling Green in the 1st set. They lost 25-20. Fun, messy, entertaining match in BG tonight. At 19-11, Hannah Best from BG served Michigan off the floor, their confidence sank and it was an ugly spiral from there. Benavia Jenkins, serving as acting HC, switched to a 5-1 in Set 3 and Michigan's fortunes turned. They were able to get to a 5th set but made too many errors down the stretch. Cuchran, who played so well last weekend at libero gave way to Humphrey after a rough start. The team really misses Grant. The real puzzler is why the coaches stuck with Simmons for so long, 16 HE's on 48 swings. By the time they replaced her in the 5th, it was too late. Very nice match tonight from Murray and Vaulet. Shoutout to the BG student section who had the place rocking. We get anther crack at them on Sunday at home. Go Blue! |

Total fan props to you for heading down to BG in a year the Wolverines are struggling! The run in the first set must have been terrible for you! It clearly turned the match result. |

Kendall Murray and Jacque Boney were on the Conqu'ring Heroes podcast this week.
Nothing of real substance. Jansen brings up Virtue working with the National Team with both student-athlets... I'll let anyone that cares to listen make their own opinions on that topic after hearing their perspectives.
Something that bothered me though - - Apparently UM is trying to break the record against MSU on Friday night. A maize out was mentioned, the little-known (outside of VB) State Pride Flag trophy is talked about (which is fun), but STILL NO MENTION OF TRYING TO SET THE ATTENDANCE RECORD! I'm picking nits at this point... but the season hasn't left much fun volleyball to watch so its something to distract my dumb brain in the meantime.

I'm picking nits at this point... but the season hasn't left much fun volleyball to watch so its something to distract my dumb brain in the meantime. for anyone who wants to listen. Regarding the attendance record, there have been some posts on social media but not the same emphasis that preceded the 2017 match with OSU. There is always a big crowd for MSU and it is on a Friday, but I will be surprised if we break the record. In 2017, football was on a bye week and the volleyball match was the only game in town. We also had a much more competitive team. Michigan has won 10 straight against MSU and the Spartans haven't won in Ann Arbor since 2013. They will have a real shot Friday night. |

Not changing my view much, but, three matches into the B1G season, Michigan is not as bad as Rutgers and have a better roster than Iowa. Tonight’s match will reveal where Michigan State is. #StopPlayingOnWoodFLOORS
