So is getting stuffed too often better than hitting shots too often? Not being snarky. It's a legitimate philosophic question. Also, there are a LOT of 6ro OHs in the game, most of whom struggle at times. Elite DSs are few and far between. Not every program is Nebraska. Passing is a VERY...

I have no problem with grad transfers but undergrad transfers are always risky. Are they jumping for greener pastures? Because there was too much adversity at the old school? Character becomes a big issue.

Just goes to show you what a strong serve will do for you. Unfortunately, it often isn't there when you need it. If they can't get Nebraska out of system, it'll be a long night. No tears for Wiscovid. Maybe Booth goes to Texas next year?

Also, Stanford and Texas already on the schedule for next year. Good to see they are adding some creampuffs.

Right. Calvin Booth is probably sending out Xmas cards right now.

Gophers finished 2-11 against top 30 teams. I'd argue Baylor was not top 30 and that record should be 1-11. As a matter of fact, Baylor was the only #20-30 team they played, so that's 1-11 against top 20. Can we assume they were a solid #21-35? Maybe. But we have zero proof. Considering they...

More likely she's a great example of a very good player who looks great on a team with a bunch of other very good players. I didn't used to hate Wiscovid, but I do not respect how they have achieved their success.

Louisville going would have completed the quadfecta: Booth, Choboy, Wenaas and CC.

Wiscovid. No program benefited more.

This is weird. What is the connection to Oregon? And kind of a slap in the face to Purdue?

I have no insight about any of that. There may be others here, much closer to the program, who might. But I don't.

Well, there's no point in arguing with someone who clearly sees the world differently than I do. And "lie"?? Do better. Wucherer and Landfair were better than the options. Don't agree with me? Fine. But respect the coaching staff a *little*?

Let me add that after losing Hugh, Chaboy, Wenaas and Booth, I thought this season would be worse than it was. The U's quick hire of a very respected coach and the transfers of Grote, Murr and Awoleye (+ the recruitment of Zeynep) were much more than I could have hoped for. But 2023 was still a...

Not this single (married) fan. There were absolutely no other options, IF Zeynep really wasn't ready (and I'll assume the staff knows whether she was better than I). Or did we want Crowl and Hanson passing? Or was it McGhie and Gray? Maybe Ng and Minatee? What I do know is this was a trainwreck...

So your argument is that better players should play if they are on the roster. Great. Agreed. I thought your argument is that a team that uses DSs is going to be stronger than a team with 6ro players -- and that the Gophers were automatically out of contention because 6 ro players can win in...

Sorry, yes, correct. Nebraska 2022, Texas 2023 each had ELITE libero/DS combinations (some of the same people even). The problem with your premise is that you are making a hasty generalization. Furthermore, both Landfair and Wucherer bring elements to the backrow that the Nebraska and Texas...

Well this is fodder for discussion, no?

In my opinion, the whole premise. Not a lie, but incorrect. But what I meant by my post is that it was unnecessarily harsh. (And I'm assuming you meant "hasn't.")

Wow. Maybe being a fan of a team isn't your thing.

I wonder how awkward things were with Landfair and Shaffmaster, playing with Booth at USA tryouts, etc.. And how awkward it will be if all 3 make the final cut.
