Lol. Ok, so the first "Draft" has all the AU players on one team and all the Minn players on the other 🙄 Not quite, Ali Bastianelli is playing MB for Minn and Minatee and Ng are on the sidelines for AU

Like the more aggressive serving implementation
Minny’s tip defense needs some work
Willow and Edmond had some nice swings
Rhythm between Landfair and Shaffmaster not quite on
Ali B having a moment(!)
Camera guy fell asleep for a hot minute

Camera guy fell asleep for a hot minute Serving is way more aggressive than usual, KC he was going to work on tough serving and he’s certainly doing it!

Agreed, I like their serving so far. Nice to see more pace on it.
Passing has been okay, could be better, could be worse.
Davis struggled to close the block that first set. Hopefully she can pick it up as the match goes on.

Camera guy fell asleep for a hot minute Rhythm between Landfair and Shaffmaster not quite on Gee I am hoping pavsec5row10 doesn't read this. I stated something very similar in a post vs. NDSU. She/he called me out that I was the "only one" that thought the same as you do tonight.

That game was my first chance to do play by play for the Gophers, I welcome any/all constructive feedback! Thanks for tuning in! You did well. My initial impression when hearing your voice when the stream started was, "oh, no. An inexperienced public speaker covering an unconventional volleyball match," but you carried yourself well. I'll admit that I jumped to that conclusion soley on the tenor of your voice, so be aware that you may be fighting against that initial impression with many listeners. A voice coach may help.

So much fun last night! I will do that again if they do it again! I thought the serves looked really good, and we were swinging hard in most cases! And it sure looked like Taylor Reid was having a good time on either team!

As AU plays musical players with the opposing team, that's not really an easy question to answer. In general, I would say the AU players are only marginally better than the college teams they are playing. Ohio seemed to be having the most difficulty against AU, but I'm uncertain if that's due to talent or a lack of team chemistry as I'm fairly new to volleyball.

I'm surprised your not mad at me for not calling them "THE Ohio State", whatever. I'm from Michigan, so, as far as I'm concerned, all you Ohioans are the same 😏😉
