You can make a defensive play and than finish with an ace? Depends on how crappy the announcers are. These ones from a few matches ago had no idea what an ace was. |

What can you expect, the number one B1Gnetwork volleyball analyst, who also spends time on ESPN’s vb telecasts, uses “game” and “match” as if they are interchangeable volleyball terms and calls everyone a “baller” and uses every inane cliche known to sports broadcasting. College volleyball will not see the growth it deserves on television 📺 if they continue to allow these ninnies to do the announcing. Ninety-five percent of these play-by-play and analysts do not understand the sport of volleyball, don’t do any background research on the matches they are calling, and worst of all, they have only a superficial understanding of the rules of this sport. hey B1Gten network, do better…. 🏐 |

It doesn't seem to me that it's anything more than semantics, unlike tennis where games make up sets which make up matches, right? |

It doesn't seem to me that it's anything more than semantics, unlike tennis where games make up sets which make up matches, right? Sets used to be called games in volleyball. So a match was made up of individual games. It's really not that big of a deal. Ask a D1 volleyball player if they have a "game" this weekend and I doubt they'd think twice about it. |

It doesn't seem to me that it's anything more than semantics, unlike tennis where games make up sets which make up matches, right? Just stop. Words matter. For the same reason we say cattle run in herds, geese groupings are called gaggles, wolves live in packs and owls in parliaments… next week the fourteen B1G schools will each play two “matches.” In baseball, teams play “games”, as they do in football and basketball, but soccer, wrestling, rugby and volleyball it’s called a “match”. Just as you don’t say you are going to a track “game”, you don’t say you are going to the volleyball “game” tonight; words matter. But you know that… Semantics are the rules that govern and control the language. It’s like going to England and asking where the tennis “field” is… or where the cricket “court” is… as you know you would ask where is the tennis “court” and where is the cricket “pitch”-because not doing so would make you appear foolish or uneducated. It’s common knowledge it’s the way we commonly communicate. And in this case, anyone who played B1G volleyball (even in this case where she was listed in the program but rarely saw the court) knows a volleyball “match” is made up of “games” which are made up of “points”. It boggles my mind that someone who graduated from a journalism school with as much prestige as Northwestern, would be unable to speak the accepted language of the sport she was involved in. I can tell you that this buffoon “semantics” has not been missed by players, coaches and other media-it’s just pathetic to the point it’s uncomfortable. We can’t grow viewership in this sport when the analysts are ninnies and the play-by-play people have only a superficial knowledge of the sport and the rules…but you know that…🏐 |

So for me, the Badgers have 29 matches in the regular 2023 season. But if someone asks me if I'm going to the UW-Nebraska volleyball "game," I will certainly say "Yes!" |

It doesn't seem to me that it's anything more than semantics, unlike tennis where games make up sets which make up matches, right? Tennis is a quirky little sport. They also replace zero with love. Which to someone first following the sport would be super confused about. The popular expression 'game, set, match' is associated with tennis as well. In tennis game I guess could mean two things depending upon a casual or avid follower. To most people game is just a generic term associated with the event of the sport itself. Football game, basketball game, baseball game. Regarding volleyball though if a broadcaster were to repeatedly supplant the word game with set now that would a disservice to the new fans that may be watching for the first time. If its a one-off comment about going to a volleyball game with their family would be entirely different. |
