Here's the Pitt press conference, vergyltantor. Just now watching it.
Too funny at the end when their coach is asked what Nebraska has to do to beat them. I don't think I've ever heard that one asked before, perhaps for obvious reasons. |

I liked the long pause between the question and answer. You almost could see the wheels turning in Fisher's head like, "How can I answer this in a way that reveals nothing about our scouting, strategy, or possible vulnerabilities?" Rachel and Chiamaka seemed amused by his response : )

Ok Huskers and Panthers - I'm coming up with a drinking game for both matches. Any suggestions for this match??? I'm hoping to keep it more about the broadcast/environment and not dog on specific players (coaches are different hehe). Some obvious ones I have already: - Any mention of Nebraska's youth - John Cook looking like a statue with a frown - Pointing out Husker fans traveling well - Pitt 3 final fours in a row - Mention of Pitt reverse sweeping of Louisville (especially if they were to find themselves down 0-2) - Explaining basic rules (libero, going to 25, win by two, etc.) - Merritt Beason is a transfer from Florida During a replay "the officials have angles/views that we don't have." Can that really be true? The NCAA sets up their own secret cameras that have better angles than ESPN? Why wouldn't the views from all cameras be available to show the fans? |

Thanks for the more eloquent way to express what I said as "perhaps for obvious reasons"! |

(wouldn't want to pass out before the second set) |

As much as I still firmly believe the trophy will end up in either Madison or Lincoln, I see this match as pretty much even. Already pointed out, but two excellent defenses going head-to-head with key freshmen starters. Thinking about x-factors and don't even see much there. Although still concerned with fact that Nebraska played most of their matches at home this year (21 out of 33 including post-season if not mistaken). How will they react on a neutral floor? Away from home, they did well in Palo Alto (not exactly a hostile environment) & State College. Will see.
Could easily see 5 sets in this one. A Pitt victory would not be a surprise at all.
East Coasters may not be seeing the start of match #2 until after 10pm.

Also, you will be hearing about Laney Choboy charging JC at least twice I count on it (likely w/ a three second video replay woot woot) |
