Sorry to say I agree with you. Not sure why she won't/can't swing freely and more effectively, but it just hasn't happened. Situational blocker maybe?

They really need to find some offense from the right side. I thought Garr was excellent, although I was surprised she got the nod over Thibault (who has been playing really well this season). Is Crowl injured? I don't think she should be starting but I'm really surprised she has not played at...

Assuming she likes it here and/or at the U to spend a 5th year away from Turkey.

So I assume Thibault is now libero and Garr is top DS. Can't really call Acevedo a DS at this point.

This team could use some good fortune one of these seasons.

Has Lavelle written about volleyball prior to this?

We had our moments, Gorf and I.

Always nice to not be forgotten.

I'm assuming that Noelle Van Oort for Ball State is Yvonne Wichert Van Oort's kid. So that's cool.

Maybe I'm wrong (and I'm not going to doublecheck) but I believe Crowl had ONE block against TAMU. To be fair -- which I sometimes can be -- she only had 14 swings and blocking is a lot more than just block kills. Touches are important too. But I'm not rewatching to see how she did in that...

TAMU service got better and better and Gophers went the opposite direction. Add that to too little offense and now yet another program has moved ahead of Minnesota. But I'll spare you the negativity. Sorry. Hope things turn around.

Bad lineup choices IMO. But what do I know? No reason why TAMU should sideout at this % either.

And even in South Dakota we get John Cook. Who does a good job, but same issue.

Do you suppose anyone with any kind of power in this sport has ever considered the POSSIBILITY that the totally out of proportion focus on Nebraska is ultimately bad for the sport? It just seems that rather than milking every last nickel out of Nebraska fans that some attention could be paid to...

This is a story I've told before, but I'd never presume anyone was paying attention so I'll tell it again. The Gopher's ball control was horrid for Berg's entire 4 seasons at Minnesota. There will never be a Gopher setter who did more with less. But I witnessed the beginning of the change in the...

Stella just didn't stand out for me, but that is probably a very good thing. I'm much more likely to notice bad setting than I am consistent setting. Let's just say I don't recall seeing many missed connections. It didn't seem like Kilkelly played all that much after g1. Their OHs were playing...

I don't need to. She just turned 43. That's not middle 40s. I did watch this match. It was not very interesting (read competitive) imo. Too bad Santana and Samedy were no-shows, but I'm not sure that would have affected the passing issues the alumni had. To me, Zeynip (and Hanson) were the two...

Someone commented (in VolleyTalk) about Jen Bowman being in her mid-40s. No chance. Early 40s OK. Just saying. An interesting career path for Jen. Northern Illinois to LBSU to Minnesota. IIRC she had to sit a year after the LBSU transfer. I still think it would have been so cool if the Gophers...
