OK Badger fans, what do you predict will be our record after the first 3 games? Honestly, I feel like we could be 0-3 just as easily as 3-0. Much of my dilemma is due to not knowing if Smrek or Orzol will play. I agree. I'm not sure what will happen and so much depends on injuries. I had 1-2 for this run in my preseason predictions. I think the change in system and at setter is a big one and will result in a period of adjustment. It will also refresh the team and pay big dividends down the line, but not yet, especially with all the late arrivals and injuries slowing practice. So if I were to pick, Stanford will be the sole win, but it would be hilarious, and not impossible, if we were to beat Texas and lose to the other too. But what happens on the day is a bit of a coin toss if I'm being honest, especially not knowing enough about the other teams. Not that hilarious. |

Regarding Texas I definitely feels like it gives Wisconsin an edge to play Louisville first.

Why are you even commenting? Because I’m excited about the start of the season and I have to wait until after the Louisville match is finished before the Texas thread is posted? But now that I know it bothers you, you’ve raised my entertainment quotient an iota. |

A lot of tickets available for Fiserv in Milwaukee. I hope the ticket exchanges take a bath on their outrageous prices they are asking.

OK Badger fans, what do you predict will be our record after the first 3 games? Honestly, I feel like we could be 0-3 just as easily as 3-0. Much of my dilemma is due to not knowing if Smrek or Orzol will play. Louisville: 50/50. They will be extra motivated after we spoiled their perfect season, and have a home court advantage. I think we have the edge talent wise. Sounds like they have some things to work out system wise. Texas: 45/55. We more than hung with them in the first 2 sets last year. Extra motivation for our players, home crowd, a game under our belts, etc. will keep us in the game, but I give a slight edge to Texas mostly because I feel like they have fewer unknowns / changes. Standford: 60/40. While I'll admit that I don't know too much about Standford this year, this feels like the most winnable game of the 3. I really wish we were playing Stanford first before Texas. My prediction is that Orzol will not play and we'll be 1-2 (don't hate me for this - I'm mostly trying to keep my expectations in check). If both Orzol and Smrek play all 3 games, I think we'll be 2-1. I'll be there in Milwaukee and certainly hope we win both those games. their perfect season, you mean three years ago? Most of the players on those teams are gone.....maybe smrek, orzol and Robinson can face off on a sidecourt against Debeer and Kong. |

Im talking about your “Not that hilarious.” comment which is just rude & I think you failed to even realize the point they were trying to make. Which was simply that it would be funny to them if the opposite of what was expected happened. Maybe a better word to use was ironic, but you were just being annoying |

Predicted line ups for tomorrow? Biggest question seems to be if orzol will play. I’ve seen clips of her practicing on social media. I think she plays, but I think the question is does she play front row or is that too much jumping on a bad ankle. If she is fully good: Orzol/franklin OH Smrek RS (GG) Robinson/booth MB(crawford serves for one of them) Fuerbringer S Saige L If she’s only playing backrow: TSC(saige)/franklin OH Smrek RS (GG) Robinson/booth MB(crawford serves for one of them) Fuerbringer S Orzol L If she’s fully out: TSC(Lola)/franklin OH Smrek RS (GG) Robinson/booth MB(crawford serves for one of them) Fuerbringer S Saige L |

Both Louisville and Wisconsin have a lot to figure out with their Lineups tommorow, since they are both high caliber teams they will use their best players. Which starting lineup do you think they should go with tommorow night
