Title: 2026 Volleyball Season
Post by: ELA on September 01, 2026, 06:50:44 PM
Didn't realize it was a thing but the Big Ten-SEC Volleyball Challenge started today.  MSU swept LSU.  Don't think LSU is great, but neither is MSU, but a decent mid to low level conference win

Wisconsin is 1-3 after the opening of the season, and has moved up in the rankings (from 6 to 5). Their three losses are to the teams ranked 2, 3, and 4. Their win was against #6 Louisville.

Sounds like it was one heck of a game in a packed house. Love that. (Particularly because of the outcome.)

MSU might actually be decent this year?  Swept both LSU and South Carolina.

Now decent in the Big Ten might mean like 10th place

The court layout for these volleyball matches tonight  at Wrigley is terrible from a spectator POV.  Im glad I took a pass on this.

Wiggly, in general, is terrible from a fan standpoint.

Parking sucks, concessions suck, most of the seats suck, and they are all uncomfortable (except the premiums).

Wiggly sucks.

It checked a box.  That was it.  Also my brother lived within walking distance at the time, so didn't have to park.

MSU with another straight sets win, this time over Cincinnati, to move to 7-0.

They should be in the top 25 of the Massey ratings tomorrow, which puts them at #11 in the Big Ten :96:

That's good. Dealing with Lincoln Towing is not something I'd wish on anyone except my ex.

Horns reverse-sweep the Vols in Knoxville.  An omen of things to come today on the gridiron, or did Texas use up all its magic last night...?

This has to be Rutgers best volleyball team since joining Bug Ten.  They might not finish last. 

Hung around in Lincoln last night for two sets. 9-4 on season.  First conference game last night
