2023 Volleyball Thread

MSU is a late collapse at Illinois away from a 4-0 Big Ten start.

Schedule hasn't been great, and Massey still has them #10 in the Big Ten (#62 overall), but a good showing at home this weekend against Nebraska will go a long way

MSU blew the first set late, and then won the 2nd set.  Granted Nebraska will take all of our best players with NIL, but it's fun for now

Nebraska laid the hammer in the 3rd and 4th sets.  The new coach is building something, but we'll see how many girls Nebraska poaches with NIL

Respectfully, Nebraska will take zero players from MSU. Sheffield is the big ten coach you need to watch, he's all about the  transfers.   I'm impressed with I'm seeing with this Spartan coach.  Their court discipline is quite good.

Fun crowd tonight.  I'm not sure how they lost that first set.  These Nebraska freshman are pretty fun to watch.   Harper Murray has a homecoming match tomorrow in Ann Arbor.  Her sister is a Sr. For Michigan's team .  Murray's father played football for UM and died when the kids were young.  They both wear his #27.    

Harper's the best kid I've seen in my club volleyball days.

good match

some of the football fans in the sports bar in the old market in Omaha wondered why volleyball was given equal time on the big screens.

A sports bar is like doing it wrong when they have every set tuned to the same game .

agreed

they were doing it right

The Wolverines are coming in hot, winning their first Big Ten match of the season against the Wildcats. 

The Huskers are walking into a buzz saw.

buzz saw swept

I'm interested to see how UM revamps their Olympic sports after this year.  They've always had nearly unparalleled funds going into infrastructure.  But in the NIL era, it sounds like they are underpaying, and its showing.  Their soccer and volleyball teams have been awful this year.  Having Stephen Ross write a $160 million check to give you the best facilities, might not be worth as much as a school that has donors putting a fraction of that directly into NIL, which it sounds like is the case at Michigan with their Olympic sports
