Anyone else having their Texas A&M tickets downloading as Troy tickets? I reached out to the ticket office but no answer yet. Wondering if it’s a glitch for everyone or just my account. Thanks! We play Troy on Friday, then TAMU on Saturday, so that's correct to be a Troy ticked in the "All-In-1 Pass"

FWIW, I have (for the first time) the 'single pass' or whatever it's called: load one item to my Google Wallet, and it magically changes form match to match. That is, I look last night and the single item is a ticket for Marquette, but I look today and it has changed to a ticket to Troy. No Texas A&M yet, that will magically happen after Friday. Thank you! I’m pretty consistent at deleting right away and had to sell my Troy tickets. I’m guessing you are right on. Appreciate it. Ah, I see the issue here: even if you've sold the tickets, they'll still show up in your All-In-1 pass until after the Troy match.

BTN-Plus has a five minute Sarah Franklin highlight video up from last night.

I am all-in on this 6-0 offense being the next off the wall Sheffield thing that works…… like having a MB be your leading scorer for 5 seasons, or making an average OH into a “back row specialist” and have her hit .450 for half a season. It fits the needs of this team for slow high sets, and the new rules let you slop the ball around on your side of the net all you want with no penalty. You could run it multiple rotations, just keep feeding Dev & Anna into the front row. It’s really just like running a beach offense with 6’s. Brilliant!

I remember John Cook going without a setter for the extra block a couple times, but that was when Haggerty was abusing Nicklin Hames, and Cook was doing it out of desperation. :-)

Did anyone realize TAMU plays Troy U. on Sunday afternoon at 1 pm?

Did anyone realize TAMU plays Troy U. on Sunday afternoon at 1 pm? I noticed it on the UW schedule page yesterday? Monday? I normally go to those 'other games', but head up against the Packers and the Brewers? That's a tough sell...

I do appreciate Kelly immediately trying to figure out how to make the new rules work to our advantage. The 2 libero thing was good to try as well.

Now this… is strategy I love hearing everyone’s thoughts I had thought a double sub involving CC for the setter could be an option when Orzol was up front with the M1 and setter. Andersen could sub in as server and set for a rotation. I had not anticipated CC being the setter. That may have been forced by Charlies absence, but it's true the no-double rule suddenly makes CC as setter more viable.

I was impressed with the number of subs Sheffield dedicated to it. Apparently he is bored with having only one spot in the rotation with a substitution, so in a couple of instances he actually subbed Carly in and out with either Dev or CC on each rotation when Carly was in the front row (Carly was out when we were serving, in when we were receiving) for a total of 6 subs for that one spot, one time through the rotation. One thing you can absolutely say about Kelly Sheffield is that he is going to use those 15 subs somehow.

None of them worked anywhere near as well as it did last night.

One thing you can absolutely say about Kelly Sheffield is that he is going to use those 15 subs somehow. I was actually disappointed he didn't start using this in set one - I was starting to assume devyn was unavailable. Also, he waited until the 2nd trip through the rotations to avoid burning all the subs. Given you have CC up front and both lola and gg in the back, I would have been happy to not sub carly back in on server receive, when she was in the front row, and just roll with big front row and team setting. The passes weren't great anyway, which further reduces the value of the setter. I would do this sparingly with Charlie available, but last night it made a lot of sense.

So warm-ups definitely weren't an indicator of how Carly was going to do last night to say the least... The first set was a little shaky, to be expected. After that... One of the reasons Sarah had a career high and Badger record in kills is because she was getting the best balls she's received from a setter since she came to Wisconsin. You knew when the set was put up Sarah was getting a kill. It was really beautiful.
