Some pretty darn interesting substitutions going on in that match. Lots of 'data' for the coaches to evaluate. A win is a win, no matter how ugly.

The way half of the posters here wanted to bench Anna freaking Smrek, our 2nd best player, because of a couple of bad games while injured and having extremely limited practice with a brand new setter lmao. Outside of diva I'd be hard pressed to name 3 posters that wanted Smrek benched for any reasons outside of actually getting her healthy.

Let's put the 2 libero thought experiment to bed.

I wanted her be benched because the connection wasn't there yet. I love Anna, but that was a liability and you couldn't really take out Charlie.

Name half or I will block you. Silence and upvoting when Vbdiva posted is agreeing with her. There are at least 4-5 posters who regularly posts here (vbeez, maigrey) who've upvoted her comments the past few days. And she literally tears into Smrek ANY time she posts the past few days lmao, it ain't just a bench. Girl was out here saying Smrek "scores when it doesn't matter", or Smrek ruining the chemistry, and y'all were all silenced or upvoting her. We have posters like honeybadger88 or Burly Ives (both regulars) out here saying Smrek is a ....liability blocking...and silence. How many posts here regularly? 10? So that's 5. You want the game threads too? Because there's even more there LOL

I mean 6 months ago it was clear that Charlie is the future but as recently as tonight I thought maybe a 6-2 for a few more weeks here was a good option because it got CC on the court and obviously Charlie didn’t have it flowing yet. Sets 4 and 5 showed me how wrong I was. Charlie is The Way, and her vibes with her pins are probably the gap between a final four appearance and a disappointing exit.

And you can take out Anna instead of, oh I don't know, letting her work through it? A connection is....two-sided....and practice reps ain't making up for game reps ever.

Uhhhh, multiple posters wanted her benched because she was a blocking liability apparently. Multiple people upvoted diva posts degrading Anna Smrek, and now suddenly it's only diva?

Here's my take - the 6-2 in the third set helped Charlie catch a breath and see what was going on in the game allowing her to be better in sets 4 and 5. I want it to continue on an as-needed basis.

Not that I care, and not that I'm going to spend any time on it, but there's a pretty good search function on VT. And pulling up Diva's posts and seeing who was 'liking' them is easily done. Anybody who want to support or refute what you're claiming can certainly look and report back.

Exactly - and they won this match because of Smrek and the IMMEDIATE change she had on block touches, blocks, and change in offence TCU has to make with her on the RS - the haters just hate because they are not her and idk what are jealous?? Like be for real for real 😂. She was also taking her best swings and connecting with Charlie tonight which is a good sign. Smrek also had more blocks in a span of 5 minutes than Booth did all night unfortunately. Feel bad for Booth - you never know what’s going on in a players mind or on and off the court lives, I’m sure she will pick her her level. Let’s not tear each other down and ENOUGH of the vendetta against Smrek - VDIVA im lookin at you. Let’s support all our Badgers.

Searching for specific text is a disaster.
