Yep, here's a post from Sydney Hilley's Instagram on their near perfect reunion. As you said, only Barnes is missing which would've made the reunion perfect. http://instagram.com/p/C_jVHVJxpXl Thats one hell of a boat. Hope they got it out of the dock. There are five photos in the post. They clearly had the boat out, and for the whole day into the evening.

Maybe perhaps mention that you can scroll through the photos, instead of being rude.

If you just look at the "top' photo, you don't see the boat out in the lake. Maybe people don't realize there are more than the one photo. So I tell them there are five. How is that "snarky"?

Ok, I managed to get the passing charting down (now it is possible my math is wrong and I need to recheck it later):
Lola: 2.17 on 29 attempts, Good pass rate 79% Orzol: 2.18 on 28 attempts, 68% Frank: 2.13 on 16 attempts 69% GG: 1.91 on 11 attempts 55% (She basically either passed perfect or shanked them)
One thing about Lola is that she is quite steady in Serve Receive, in that she will usually pass a good ball. This is most easily seen in that Orzol had a better pass rating, but Lola was much more consistent in passing good balls.
Bonus stat fun: I charted Lola at 24 digs with 12 of those keeping us in system. However, her most important digs were clearly in set 5 when they didn't put us in system but were miraculous saves to keep it alive against match point.
I do think having only 4 players who contribute to serve receive is definitely better for the team's communication back there. Also, Baylor didn't seem to try to target anyone and pretty much much spread the serving equally.

The nucleus of the (mostly) 2019 team had a recent reunion outing. Riley Bell, Dani Hart, Dana, Sydney, Grace - all members of our vaunted 2017 recruiting class, plus Shanny, Tiffany Clark, & G. Civiti (2020-21). A pic is up on Hilley's insta commemerating their experience. 2019's team is my favorite iteration of the Lady Badgers, If only Barnsie could have been in the pic it woukd have been absolutely perfect. I am not familiar with Lady Badgers. But the 2019 Badgers I do recall.

I'm not sure, but perhaps there were some Manly Badgers back in 1962 when the one and only Burl Ives released his hit song, Call Me Mr. In-Between. Get ready to rock kids:
I'm hoping Snoop will cover this in a more modern style.

Lol. There are some truly insane rhymes in that song. It's like 50's milquetoast gangsta. Snoop might take a shot.

GG was all business during the last 4 points; gutsy performance by her.
I've noticed that this team is morphing into a group that is less demonstrative and giving off an "all business" vibe at times. GG has abandoned her leap into someone's arms and Lola has dialed things way back from her UA stint with Charlie. All in all, I see it as a good thing. Soon, we'll be calling them The Steely Badgers.
Plus 1 on that observation. I caught some grief from folks last Spring when I suggested that Lola might want to consider refraining from the Choboy-esque stuff... She's really a pleasure to watch !

After a few non sequiturish posts previous to this I will steer conversation back to the Wisconsin Volleyball team... BTW YES... Lady Badgers as in female, women, girls, etc. etc.
Una Vajagic, OH, Serbia will be recovering from injury for most of this season but reports had stated she may be able to contribute towards seasons end. I thought it would be prudent to share the CEV Champions League match between Jedinstvo Stara Pazova her team against VakifBank Istanbul. Una is in the blue Number 1 uniform.
The team took one on the chin but here is a glimpse of what we'll be seeing in Madison

Looks like we're ranked #8 in this week's poll. I'm fine with that - expected worse actually. The best is yet to come as we hopefully get healthy and get some real practice time over the next 2/3 weeks.

Not worried about rankings at all. I’m actually not sure they mean anything across the board this year, and teams will evolve quickly.
Just worried about the quality of play right now. It’s been a rougher start than I expected, and I expected a rough start. But that is down to all sorts of things that were uncontrollable. Now we have some control and the team is getting better. The core is solid and experienced.
