I do not think the B1G is very good this year, not after Nebraska and maybe 3-4 other teams. And Nebraska may be the only top ten team. Not sure about Wisky.

I see Schnichels hasn't played since 9/6. Is she hurt or just not being used?

And, of course, AU opens in Omaha. Total shocker. Fleece those Huskers while they still have some money left.

I'll focus on the positive: Gilk and Kinney were taking strong swings. I guess Taylor too, mostly.

Another close set won, so that's good. 5 hitting errors, also good. Not so good that they're back to shuffling opposites. Seemed like a real short hook for Kinney, although Gilk did well. Garr really had an off match, I thought. Hope that doesn't become a trend. AND it sure would be nice for...

So, I'm fairly certain that Kelli Wicks, at 5'2", was the shortest, and that Tanya Dulder (reported and then quickly went home) was on the team the shortest amount of time, although Appiani had a weird stint here too. Sarah Pearman lost the tooth.

Sure is nice that players like Acevedo and Kinney (and Garr and Thibault) have stepped it up. Gilk had a nice game v Loyola too. Better competition ahead. We will see.

And I hate to say it, but I have a bad feeling about Hanson. This team does not make a habit of giving players a match off unless there is something serious going on. Hope I'm wrong.

No. And the program has been fairly fortunate with knee injuries over the years. Concussions have/had been a bigger issue. Mike's first year, that team with 11 players, was held together with duct tape, but nothing like this. You'd need to go back several years, however, to find a team that...

Hobbes was vanderWall

Is that a guess? Which one?

Hmm. Theis's teams.

My daughter said Hanson was crying after warmups fwiw

How about injury trivia? Who lost a tooth while scrimmaging in the Pav? (Hint: she also suffered an ACL injury, but not at the same time.) Hint for question #1 -- she played under two different names while a Gopher. Hint for question #2 -- 5' 2". I have no absolute proof there was no one...

Bonus: Who had the shortest career? (Choboy does not count. This player was on the roster.) Bonus, bonus, the fewest number of players on a team? All my answers are subject to factchecking, btw.

OK. While you all are pondering that one (right? that's what you're doing, right?), here's another one: Who is the shortest Gopher volleyball player in program history?

And the hits just keep a'coming.

Since Robert Redford is (unfortunately) in the news, can you tell me which Gopher player was nicknamed "Hobbes" by Mike Hebert? There will be no prize other than a pat on the head.

Kinney with some good swings against Dayton. If she and Acevedo can keep it up the team will be competitive. Still not convinced they will hang with top 20 teams, let alone top 10, but it's a step in the right direction.

And Trammel. It's not a new strategy for them.
