Now back to this match… we can all discuss roster management in a different thread…

I love challenges that basically the down ref laughs at when they come back

To be clear, I think that what JFO did in terms of her 'all or nothing' approach is no one's business but hers and those players'. I very much support her decision and I think it will pay dividends in the long run.

I’ve watched A LOT of Nut volleyball over the past two decades and I have a profound appreciation for JFO and her coaching. But this is a ROUGH year and this is by far the rawest team she’s had on the court and it didn’t have to be.

This isn't really a brave take either though. There's literally no way for her to prove that this team with those players would be better, so of course you're correct. This team is rough. But, there's also no way for you to prove that with the development of these players this year, 2024 and 2025 OSU aren't better than they would've been with 5-6 schollies turning over next year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It nets to the exact same "take" that I had tbh.

Meghan Courtney in the house
Lets Go FURY!!!!

[hipsterfilth]

Megan Courtney was a real one from day one. Miss watching her play.

[badgerbadgerbadger]

I see JFO reminded Ohio St players to serve at TTA

[hipsterfilth]

Ok Megan Courtney for president wtf is she doing in 2024?

[maigrey]

Okay, maybe I'm just crabby, but could they do this interview over a timeout or something? Ugh.

[badgerbreath]

OSU put the ball right on TTA three straight serves. Got the advantage but they wasted the last one.

[rainbowbadger]

JFC we cannot BUY a kill right now!

[badgerbadgerbadger]

Booth and Izzy needs to work out that connection. I feel like lots of her swings don't have that power behind it which is weird

[maigrey]

This announcer.. buckeyes with the time out? Sheesh, I could do this better. And I'd be terrible at it.

[rainbowbadger]

Also, rampageripster, hi!

Just to be clear, my “oof” was not about the take that it was the right decision (we won’t know until at least 2025… and then it will just be speculative history… my favorite kind)… it was more about how it’s none of our business. Kinda part of the job of a coach in the Big Ten to be scrutinized for your work building your team. Comes with the territory.

Back to cheeseweasels and nuts

Megan Courtney didn't want JT to go back to Cincinnati her last year. Lame.

[badgerbreath]

Badgers with some hitting errors with some suboptimal izzy sets.
