Wenaas did. Booth left after the announcement, right?

At least Barnes and Wenaas went to play different positions.

She left for the same reason Booth did. No faith in KC. Self-fulfilling in some ways. Too bad they went to such unethical programs.

Which is not a good thing imo

Absolute shame that a 4-year college scholarship is not enough compensation. But, of course, the obscene amounts of money the NCAA and schools receive makes things problematic. Just further signs of the rot at the center of our culture. And what our priorities are.

vonner is correct about Louisville and Pitt. I wonder when they made this change. I was always under the assumption the NCAA didn't want programs advertising themselves, although I know it is also a sponsorship thing. For Taraflex. Also, never mind. And go Creighton!

This is not true. They have always used the same floor in all 4 regionals. And the NCAA was very strict with signage too. It could be true that Nebraska (and others?) got a pass because they use Taraflex, but I didn't think that was the criteria in the past.

So why does Nebraska get to use their flooring in their regional?

Is it a business? I disagree. Although maybe it is at Nebraska.

As posted at VolleyTalk. In short, Wisconsin steals its players from a variety of other programs. Only John Cook is more full of it these days. +++ A Wednesday feel good read written by the one and only Dennis Punzel. “Diversity may be a hot button topic in many corners these days, but for the...

You read it right there: no excuses for 2025 should things not improve.

Could be worse, of course. I offer you $765 million over 15 years as an example. An example, mind you. I'm not offering you $765 million. I just can't swing it right now.

They lost to Stanford in the 3rd round in 2013. FWIW.

I was going by what others were saying, that they missed the tournament in his 1st year. It was actually his third. Although I can't swear by that either. He made the tournament in 2012 and 2013 (regional finalist and regional semi-finalist) according to the Gopher website. But I think Laura was...

Too bad about UNI, but I sure do want to see some new teams in the round of 8. Missouri, Purdue, Marquette (good luck with that), Creighton, TAMU and Dayton. Even be nice to see Florida return. What we don't need is Pitt, Kentucky, Stanford, Louisville, Penn State (yuck), Texas (double yuck)...

Even the Pav seldom sold out for NCAA matches. I never really understood why. People want to have more time to plan to attend? The holidays? The prices? And let's not kid ourselves, hardly anyone showed up when the Gophers weren't playing. I don't understand that either. Don't people enjoy the...

Which is sad. Because I was always a fan of the program. I just assumed the players were too. Once they started leaving to chase titles elsewhere? I can't pretend it didn't affect me. But if the players aren't loyal to the program, why am I supposed to be? And that's in general, not specifically...

2nd year? National semi-finalist.

Last 10 years: 2015 semi-finalist 2016 semi-finalist 2017 round of 16 2018 round of 16 2019 semi-finalist 2020 round of 16 (bye in 1st round) 2021 round of 8 2022 round of 16 2023 round of 32 2024 round of 32 Just stating the facts.

Not a Mel hater, but Cook is firmly planted on the hot seat. A third straight season like the last two falls squarely on his shoulders. (As does the season just concluded.)
