Sorry , still harping on Lady Badgers. They aren't Lady Badgers. They are Badgers. First of all, there is no men's team. Second of all, again, they are just Badgers.
Lady Lions,yes. Lady Vols, yes.
Lady Badgers, no. That just seems denigrating.

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. yeah, to be honest last week was so crazy with upsets and whatnot that if I were a coach I may have just had a puppy rank them like Jimmy Fallon does for the super bowl Maybe only the very best teams take early season losses?

Why do you need to call them anything other than The Wisconsin Badgers Volleyball Team, the only NCAA D1 volleyball team representing The University of Wisconsin - Madison? They are athletes, just like the players on the UW football team. Do you think anyone struggles to identify them as women and needs more information?

I thought the Fieldhouse event tonight was really fun. Loved singing Varsity with the baby Badgers.

I thought the Fieldhouse event tonight was really fun. Loved singing Varsity with the baby Badgers. Completely agree! It was short (one hour) but we were grateful for the season ticket holder fan experience. Always a treat to absorb Kelly-isms (love hearing CC's grind and "be an active participant in your own rescue"). Chatting with the players after the event was our favorite part. Got to catch up with our favorite juniors/seniors, and met all of the frosh, too. This program just re-loads with high-character student-athletes year after year that it is impossible not to root for them.

The Badger forum needs a refresh… Why are so many comments aggressive & argumentative? If you find yourself upset frequently on VT, it might be best to step away for awhile. And if this post triggers you, the shoe fits! The constant bickering is SO annoying and not enjoyable for anyone. Thanks for that message. Apparently snarky know-it-all-ity IS enjoyable for some. Or at least gives them something to do. I support your motion. Save up the withering put downs! The first Nebraska match will be here before you know it.

I actually was quite proud of the thread for not tearing its collective hair out after three straight losses to top 10 teams!

Yes, for season ticket holders. Somehow they didn’t let all of us know. I had no idea.

robtearle did you miss my prior post? Your comment was SO snarky and for what reason..? Maybe perhaps mention that you can scroll through the photos, instead of being rude. Huh? What do you see as "snarky" about it? 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"? I saw the post reposted on facebooks Volleyball Nerds. On a repost, you just get the first picture.
