Had no idea they were even doing a season, but apparently it's starting up this weekend.

Did they move the NCAA tourney to the spring?

Very strange season ahead.  Some leagues played half a season in fall and will now resume.  Big Tens 22 game sked with 2 matches vs 11 opponents.   You lose your setter w CV Good chance you're in trouble.   Reduced field to 48.

Northwestern w CV issues postponed 2 matches at Nebraska.    

Meanwhile Rutgers beat IU in 4 sets.  That might be Rutgers first victory in fewer than 5 sets since they joined the Big Ten.

Not that I like to tout the AVCA poll (note: a coach is still putting Hawaii in the poll this week, and Hawaii isn't even playing this season) but Stanford fell out of the poll for the first time in history.   I think that leaves Nebraska as the only program to be ranked in all 580 or so polls.   This strange season gets a little more unusual.

With apparent CV breakout at MSU. They are pausing vball and gymnastics.   Out of caution, UW postponed matches w Nebraska this weekend.  Mich and MN also off.  Bummer.   Going to be tough to swing this many makeups if at all.

Can we pencil in a third, going into their final stretch against Nebraska and Wisconsin?

Michigan is already cooked starting 1-3.  48 team bracket.  BiG will be looking at 7bids max I'd guess.

Even Rutger has 2 wins already.

Well, I figured it would go 5 sets with the Buckeyes.  Nebraska pulls it out.   Ohio St seemed worn out down the stretch.   I saw enough SEs to cover the weekend.   Hope my daughter's team doesn't serve like this tomorrow.

UW v NW postponed.  Badgers with a month off before they hopefully get to play Minnesota next week.  From what I hear 7 Badgers were positive the days after the MSU match.

Schedule a big mess.

Finally watched sat match.  TOSU is definitely T10.  Nebraska, I hate admitting this,  just doesn't seem to have much intensity.   It's looked like this a few times this year.  I wouldn't have bet on N as FF before year, and not seeing it differently now. That's not to diminish osu at all.

This week's Nebraska vs. Penn State volleyball matches at the Bob Devaney Sports Center have been canceled. The decision was mutually agreed upon out of an abundance of caution surrounding the health and safety of the student-athletes, coaches and staff relating to COVID-19. The contests will not be rescheduled.

The Huskers, 14-2 and ranked No. 4 in the AVCA Poll, will turn their attention to the NCAA Tournament, which begins April 14 at the CHI Health Center in Omaha. The first round will be played April 14, and the second round will be played April 15. After a two-day break, the regional semifinals and finals will be played on April 18-19. The NCAA Semifinals are set for Thursday, April 22, and the NCAA Championship will be on Saturday, April 24.

Not so fast.  Big Ten announced that several of the matches they 'postponed' due to CV reasons were not in fact because of CV.  Matches now considered forfeits.    What a joke.  Why not just say you're not playing the season.   Lots of strange things going on in Evanston lately, not just this.

Wisconsin ought to be audited. They "got covid" for Nebraska, Penn St and one game vs Minnesota, and are poised to steal a big ten title without having to square off against any of the title contenders. Not to mention they already ducked OSU and Purdue as a gift from the schedule gods. But instead they are gifted two more wins from Northwestern's non-covid cancelations. A little fishy...

Too many Jimmies and Joes (or equivalent).  No answer for Fields.  Texas superior in every facet but serving.   Well deserved for UT.

I only got to watch a little of it in a small window on one of my monitors during some conference calls, and what I caught was actually the second set where the Huskers looked really good. 

Anyway, congrats on a good (if weird) season, and best of luck next year.

My team already lost. 

Yet I remained stoic and took it like a man, without any profanity laced tirades and temper tantrums. 

So between myself and UTee, you have opposite ends of the spectrum. 

UTee's reactions provide much more entertainment value. I am looking forward to the show. Maybe there will be some waterworks this time around.

There's definitely someone falling apart on this thread.  Everyone else can see it, if you can't.

Wisconsin has a great team, they've made it to the championship game twice in the past 7 years I think, including the most recent one?  They've accomplished quite a bit.  I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they won, nor would it bother me.

You do a lot of projecting.  It's weird.

Gaslighting, eh? That's fun.

''''''''''''''''

This was all because I had the audacity to pick BYU over Texas on a Big Ten (not Big 12) board, then being pleased when my prediction came to fruition. 


3rd party smack.  Lame.  You're kind of an asshole sometimes. 


And once again, you're an asshole.

How'd Ohio State do in the Elite 8?


tOSU sucks donkey shit through a straw, and so do you.  You're a weak, lame, 3rd party-smacking, coattail riding little bitch.

Oh, and Texas has scoreboard on your football team, too, beeeyotch.


At this point I actually thought that UTee was kidding. How could a grown man actually allow himself to behave like this, and expect to be taken seriously? 




Eh.  You're the one that decided to run 3rd party smack.  You reap what you sow.

.



Speaking of the gridiron-- SCOREBOARD, BEEEEEYOTCH.  (No weak-ass 3rd party smack here)

OK.  Cool.  Hook 'Em!


Oh I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings?  If you don't want to be called an asshole, don't act like one.

Oh and by the way, I am a mod.  Would you like to be banned?  I can take care of that for you.

OK. Cool. Hook 'Em!


At this point it became evident that he wasn't kidding at all. UTee really is this big of a toolbox. :57:



Dude, you decided to be an asshole toward someone you don't know and will never meet, about what you appear to believe is a meaningless volleyball game. Why?

Think about that and let it sink in.

OK.  Cool.  Hook 'Em!


There were about a million more "OK. Cool. Hook 'Em!" posts mixed in that I omitted for the sake of brevity.

He was so unglued that he was stuck on repeat like a skipping record.

If you didn't "note" it the last 200 times you deployed your new record skipping buzz phrase that replaced the Tom Herman tweet, then you aren't going to "note" it this time around either. 

Here's how it is going to go down. UTee is going to do this little stoic act, biding his time until after the NCG. Then his next move will depend entirely on the outcome. 

Texas wins: He shows up here to gloat and showboat and spike the football. 

Kentucky wins: I poke him in the eye one last time, and it finally pushes him past his breaking point. 

Either way, he will put on a pretty entertaining show.

I wouldnt say that.   However, a Texas team that can serve and pass the way they have here this past week,  really hard to beat 3/5.  That's been the UT Achilles in past, thus far, no issue. 

UK has enough offense, nobody's been able to block Texas well enough to give themselves a chance with transition.   Nebraska had a good game plan, just badly performed in serve receive and on OH/Opp. That's a jimmy and Joe problem. 

Wisconsin had some moments, oddly it was the Freshman, not the ton of seniors, that really came to play for them.   Don't like to name names but their two studs were not very impactful last night.

It's interesting, and this is me being wonky w vball as a coach and frequent viewer, Texas has gone the route of 3 DS'   defensive specialists,  to be their strategy for passing in back row and really let their 3 weapons be their offense. It's really worked well.  Kentucky has to serve really tough,  at Logan and force Texas out of system as much as possible (admittedly a captain obvious strategy).   I think UK has the mix of talent to do this.   Best setter, yes, Lilley can't do it alone.  Can they avoid the Bridesmaid crowd which continues to grow?

Nebraska volleyball gets a commitment from Caroline Jurevicius, she announced today on Instagram.
She’s a 6-foot-2 right-side hitter from Gates Mills, Ohio, and the No. 6 national recruit.
Her dad is retired NFL wide receiver Joe Jurevicius.

Nebraska volleyball’s national title hopes received a big boost on Friday as senior middle blocker Lauren Stivrins announced she will take advantage of a bonus year of eligibility and return to Nebraska this fall.

The news is a potential big boost for the Huskers, who will also have Lexi Sun back taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility. Stivrins has earned All-American honors three times during her Husker career, and was a first-team All-American last season for the Big Red.

Nebraska will host its annual Red-White scrimmage on Aug. 21, with the regular season schedule getting underway Aug. 27 at home against Tulsa.
