I don’t look at the statement that Nebraska is young as an excuse. I look at it as they’ve got a whole year (and some of them three) to try and do it again, and I think that’s cool.

There was a junior setter that could have started. There were upperclassmen cook chose not to put in the floor. The difference that existed between Texas and Nebraska was likely statistically insignificant. Further, someone else can do the math but I’m certain that wasn’t the youngest team to make it to a final four - I think Texas 2012 team might have had only one senior and mostly underclasswomen. Regardless it is the absolute silliest bad faith excuse to blame age on the outcome after Nebraska’s stupendous season. It’s just so ridiculous to say you’re a powerhouse until you lose and then say …. They’re just little innocent babies and big bad O’Neil took their lunch money (which she did do, admittedly 😂). Was the team the same age when they lost 3-0 to Wisconsin? Your older players weren’t as good as your younger players but your younger players were .. young. You got more excuses than a pregnant nun. 😆 How about yall just admit Nebraska was way over ranked, as is the Big10 and Texas was underestimated (again). And fix your culture before the entire team quits. Texas | Career Sets Played | -- | Nebraska | Career Sets Played |
---|
Akana | 397 | -- | Allick | 205 | Barnes | 514 | -- | Batenhorst | 245 | Bergmark | 371 | -- | Beason | 322 | Crownover | 11 | -- | Boesiger | 77 | Halter | 212 | -- | Choboy | 117 | Heinrich | 58 | -- | Jackson | 118 | Kahahawai | 66 | -- | Jurevicius | 0 | Miller | 10 | -- | Krause | 262 | O'Neal | 485 | -- | Kubik | 18 | Phillips | 475 | -- | Mendelson | 68 | Singletary | 23 | -- | Murray | 121 | Skinner | 372 | -- | Orr | 157 | Swindle | 114 | -- | Reilly | 121 | Wenaas | 380 | -- | Rodriguez | 351 | Total | 3488 | -- | Total | 2182 |
Completely statistically insignificant. A difference of only 1,300 sets. Notice that Texas has seven players that have more sets played than Nebraska's most experienced player. Again this isn't an excuse everyone plays the same game on the same floor. And Texas was flat out better. That’s interesting. That’s ONE variable to measure what, “experience?” I thought the excuse was age. But we should look at statistically significance in totality, not a handpicked outcome (albeit “sets played” could be one of many). Numbers of sets is one measure of “experience” obviously correlated to age but certainly not deterministic (i .e. you can have seniors with little or no play time.) Regardless, the thrust of my argument is age is NOT the factor for the Nebraska loss. Number of sets each player played in college was not the factor in reason Nebraska lost either. How many teams in the Big10 had fewer sets played total? Does the number of sets played on a team of seniors from Cornell predict an outcome of “mostly freshman” at Nebraska? It doesn’t. So stop saying it. *Again* the inexperience or “youthfulness” of Nebraska only became an Achilles heel after the loss. The actual reason is they lacked preparation and coaching - they were over confident and arrogant- and it showed in the post press conference. Sorry.

Anybody crying about the Nebraska vs Texas match. Stop!! Nebraska did great. They only lost one match in the big 10, and they play the national final. So that tells me that being a Freshman or a Senior makes no difference in volleyball.., Because if you are a senior and you are not the best player in your position, you are going to the bench., And is exactly what Cook did. He had five freshmen on a team of 14. Btw.. They need some coaching on how to manage disappointment, starting with Cook.

This is Transfer Portal Tea not NE TX comparsion… shift your convo to the correct thread. Thanks Seriously - I can’t (yes I can) believe there are multiple pages of people going on and on and on and on and on about how many years of school every single athlete on two rosters have had or whatever.

Every morning, I open the Tapatalk app hoping to sip some hot tea after receiving several volleytalk transfer tea thread notifications. Each time the thread has devolved into another listless debate and I remain thirsty. Definition of insanity, I guess.

Starting to feel more and more like Landfair is going to follow Booths example and announce on Christmas. Not saying it will be to Wisconsin but it very well could be.
