I'm sticking with Skylar in as Serving Specialist, even though (YAY!!!!) Zeynep (YAY!!!!) took that spot against Michigan tonight. Not convinced that it isn't because of who our opponent was.

I'm hoping to put my LockerDaughter^(tm) into the starting-lineup grid for next week! (Although, I'll miss having Skylar, or my other LockerDaughter^(tm) Elise, in the aforementioned lineup. I just can't win.)

Not sure what to do with the MBs. Maybe I should just use image-morphing software, and list "Calica Davatee."

I should (and I think I will edit the post and) flip Wookie and TayLa, since it seems to have solidified with TayLa being the L1.

This should be a good one

On the road against Minnesota is a very tough place to win but I'm sensing PSU is just in a better place at this point going into tonight. Minnesota just doesn't seem to have the chemistry right even with all that talent....yet.

Podraza killed us last year. Might be different this time around with Murr in the back row reading her dumps, but who knows. Hoping for a good match!

Hey JT!  You may want to switch your current stream link in the OP to the BTN one for tonight's match.  It currently takes us to BTN+.  Here's the BTN one: www.foxsports.com/live/btn

I'm nervous for this one. PSU looks to be steadying out a bit.

You're welcome!  I had visited the thread to ride the BTN link to watching some afternoon football.  I can never remember the exact URL for it.  Maybe I should bookmark it like a smarter person probably would : )

Minnesota starting transfers: Awoleye, Grote, and Murr.
Penn State starting transfers: Podraza, Mruzik, and Hannah, plus Trammell in her second year after transferring.

Bump!!!

[skolgophers]

Assuming this Nebraska/Indiana match is running long… will this start on fox sports app?

Note that probably means nothing: Julia Hanson has sleeves with some elbow padding underneath them. Is she planning to pass more? I haven’t noticed them before. Wookie has one just under her left elbow but I don’t see anyone else with the elbow padding.

that's for digging not passing. Probably just some bruised elbows from laying out.
