bc Marquette will be pretty good themselves? lol Western Michigan, Drake, UNI would be good fits, if available. Dang, didn't see any non-con games on WMU's schedule. Do you have a master schedule for all teams, handy?

Do you have a master schedule for all teams, handy? if you go to NCAA VB scores on Twitter, they have three spreadsheets with all the schedules. If you can’t find it I’ll try to link it later

If you need a total cupcake to thrash like okay UST thats fine (roll toms) but Chicago State? UND? Who even looked at that Green Bay weekend? Hoping our tbd is someone like Marquette, Utah State, maybe High Point, a competitive match in which we would still be favored. Not a ton to attract fans for the only home noncon action otherwise Marquette is unavailable (and I dont think MN would be favored in that match anyways) Utah St or High Point isnt either. Im not sure who they could target... maybe see if someone in the South Dakota tournament that weekend wants to come? (USD/Iowa St/UTEP/Montana St) (But that would be a lot) Thanks for the vote of confidence avid! In the spring scrimmage, MN seemed to have the upper hand, but who knows what the fall holds. But the Golden Eagles had spent that day doing drills with St Cloud and then scrimmaging them before playing the Gophers. No excuses, just what happened.

On a different note it's great to see Airi get some serious playing time with Japan's NT at VNL. ❤️

Only tangentially related to 2024 Gophers, but yesterday and today is the high school boy’s state tournament and my alma mater is playing in it. I was looking through the rosters on the mnboyshsvb Instagram account and stumbled across a familiar name. Skylar is listed as an assistant coach at her alma mater Maple Grove. Head coach and manager are also Grays. Dad and sister? Love that Skylar is helping out with growing the freshly sanctioned sport of boy’s volleyball in Minnesota! 5-seed MG was 1-1 yesterday, almost pulling off the reverse sweep against 4-seed Andover losing 13-15 in the fifth set. Argh! They play at noon at Shakopee HS in the 5th place bracket. Go Skylar and Crimson! You can peep her in the background of this post lol http://instagram.com/p/C8I6BK3Ror4

Skylar's father coached the girls and is now coach for the boys. We sat next to him during a spring match and got the impression he was active in trying to get boys volleyball as a sanctioned H.S. sport.

Rachel Kilkelly’s mom was one of the founders of the club league in 2017 that finally got sanctioned after a couple years of voting by MSHSL. Gopher parents doing what they can to grow the sport. Love to see it. More volleyball not less! I graduated 15 years too early I guess. 4-year letter winner as a manager though. 😎

Milwaukee, Waco, home, and Green Bay. Whew! Those are some non-con destinations! I guess they can tour the Magnolia empire in 100deg heat. No wonder they felt like they had to treat them with the Euro trip! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

By this weekend we will know how good our Olympic team is. They play Italy and Japan. If they want to be in the medal hunt should beat both.
