I know it's petty, but I do take a certain amount of enjoyment in watching the weeping and gnashing of teeth on the Wisconsin VT thread. Live by the portal, die by the portal. I know WI will be just fine, but this is the downside of being Team Portal. I am enjoying the quiet beginning of our...

I like her game, but speculation is that her decision was driven by her agent. If true, that situation might be one to avoid.

I'd like to give Landfair credit for staying, but I think we'd have been better off if she left right away. It seemed she was never truly committed that season and became a disruption to team chemistry. I don't fault her for leaving, but I do fault her for that poor season.

Ruffda, for what it's worth, your name came up over on VT. People were wondering if you were lurking or what you would think of some of the happenings. You have not been forgotten

I purchased 2 of the $10 tickets but am now under the weather. Just would like to see the tickets used.

is this an acceptable location to post free tickets? I purchased 2 tickets on the $10 deal, but am now sick. Can't find anyone to use them, and would be happy to gift them to a fan who will go.

I think you meant Taylor and Kinney. :)

I hear ya, Ruffda, but I'm going to hang on. If MN's coach ever becomes a portal hound (a la Sheffield), that's my red line.

I agree with Hoolio. Maybe the question is - can MN be a championship contender without resorting to becoming an all star team of portal players? I truly hope so. (you know, the anti-Badgers)

True, but some of the comments from teammates on her post referred to next season. I'd guess she's going somewhere for more playing time. We'll see soon...

You probably already know this, but there's a thread over on Volleytalk: https://volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/103306/spring-apr-minnesota-dakota-madison?page=1&scrollTo=4332990

Kennedy would certainly solve any questions fans have about opposite next year. Although, aren't already at the 18 player maximum? On the flip side, WI and Neb have recently signed portal opposites, so I don't think we need to worry about her ending up there. Penn State, on the other hand...

I didn't follow WI's recruiting closely, but I hear Madison Quest is one of their top recruits for 25 and she does play OH. While they can say, Mimi is only there for one year and then the job is hers, I have to wonder what new and shiny toy Sheff will find in the portal next year that might...

Agreed. If I'm one of WI's ballyhooed incoming freshmen OHs, I'm rethinking things right about now. If I'm already there, I'm thinking about the spring portal.
