Change of pace topic. The Huskers are hitting the road this weekend, back to back at Purdue, then Indiana. That has the potential to be a tough trip. I'm going out on a limb to predict the first L for the Huskers this weekend. I'd like to be more specific, but I keep waffling between tough serving / good floor defense from Indiana v. big hitting from Purdue for the win. Anyway, one L for the Huskers this weekend. I will be back to take my lumps if The Huskers prove me wrong. At this point, it looks the only team that can beat 2023 Nebraska is 2008 Penn State. Like, who is stopping Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, Merritt Beason, Bekka Allick, Bergen Reilly, Lexi Rodriguez, etc etc etc etc? There's just no way. Though I am excited to see undersized yet powerful Chicoine against the Husker block.

It's also a public service kind of thing; it can't hurt to have a little light-hearted banter around here once in a while. The Huskers will likely prevail, but you never know.

It’ll be interesting to see how Ramsey Gary holds up against Nebraska; she had a great first week and it’ll be interesting to see if she can maintain that level. For Purdue, the Huskers are the VERY likely winners, but it will be interesting to see how the Husker youth fare in a Big 10 gym that’s not Devaney. I could see Purdue taking a set, but Nebraska are the very likely winners

Will the "I hate playing here heebie jeebies" strike this weekend? Stay tuned.

To promote parity in the B1G Harper Murray must wear 5# lead weights on her ankles On a good set her point of contact is over 10’ then what does andi have to wear 💀 To control Action Jackson, you would have to take her wings away,

I could see Purdue taking a set, but Nebraska are the very likely winners Purdue looks pretty good but I don't think Chicoine has any better luck as a first year against Nebraska than Hudson did last year. I can see them taking a set. Indiana looks like an at-large team to me, despite their bad RPI preseason, but who on that team other than Haworth can actually put a ball on Nebraska's side of the Taraflex? They're going to have to tool and high hands all day, serve more aggressively than they did vs Wisconsin, and hope. Thinking long run, I think Nebraska and Wisconsin both come into their October 21 matchup undefeated. Minny and PSU's struggles in the early season make it hard to believe either can take a full match off either, and other than that I think it's only a huge off day that would make either beatable and right now I think both teams are focused, especially the younger (and thus theoretically more vulnerable) team in Nebraska.

It pains me to say this, but the mantra of the last few years that the B1G was the strongest top-bottom conference just doesn’t seem to be the case this year. The RPI list really bore that out this week. The top 2 are great but the coaches keep ranking PSU, Minn, & OSU strictly out of habit. RPI has the conference rated 16,25,28,60 & 66 after the big 2. The coaches are holding on to the same teams being 15,13,17,RV & 22.
Something is way out of whack…

The NCAA Women's Volleyball site is showing the rankings from 11/26/22. Thanks.
