HistoryThe series: Minnesota leads 51-37 Last meeting: October 29, 2022 - Wisconsin won a four-set match in Madison. Did you know…? October 29 is Cumhuriyet Bayramı, “Republic Day” in Türkiye, and this year is the Turkish Centennial. On October 29, 1923, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk declared that Türkiye was henceforth a republic. Following that declaration, a vote was held in the Grand National Assembly, and Atatürk was elected as the new republic’s first president. The day is a public holiday. Celebrations usually involve parades, festivals, and concerts during the day. At night, there are fireworks.
Both Wisconsin and Minnesota have Turkish players on their roster: Sophomore DS Gülce Güçtekin is a Badger, and freshman DS Zeynep Palabiyik is a Gopher. If you see them, wish them “Cumhuriyet Bayramımız kutlu olsun!” - Happy Republic Day!

The only hope for a Minnesota fan for Sunday.... is that the Vikes beat the Pack. As for volleyball, MN's lack of blocking will betray them again and Wisc will win in a polite sweep.

Looking for the Badgers to come out hot, playing as if they let The Nebraska match get away and aren't going to let that happen again. Serve tougher, stay out of the net and play Badger volleyball, please.

When was the last time these two teams faced each other when one team wasn't ranked?

When was the last time these two teams faced each other when one team wasn't ranked? Probably 2012. Gophers were ranked, badgers were not.

I do not anticipate this being easy for the Badgers or their fans. The Gophers have issues, but also a lot of talent, and I expect them to show for this one.

I don't say it very often but this is trap match The Badgers had a terrible start tonight at Michigan State with Carter on the bench. I hope Sheff can wake them up and fire them up for Sunday.

I’d put money on the badgers. This isn’t an interesting match. Especially in Madison.

This thread, so far, is a view into Upper Midwestern Anthropology.
Minnesotans fans tempering their expectations by expecting to get killed. Wisconsin fans tempering their expectations by expecting to get a bit of a battle.
