I now know Ruffda is not a "true" Minnesota sports fan. We hold these two truths to be self evident. 1. The refs screwed us. 2. Next year is our year.

I'm handsome as hell and my wife is a total smoke show.

Heading down to Iowa for the match on Sunday. Look for me on the TV coverage. I'll be wearing gold.

A couple of observations. Other than Kennedy Martin this Penn State team is a bit of a mess. The whole is nowhere near as good as it should be based on the parts. I'm sure losing Izzy Stark early was a huge blow but they still should be better. Not sure if anybody noticed it but Katie...

I thought that too Ruffda until I watched some of the other teams in the 16-25 range. Every one of those teams has some decent wins but also some bad losses. To be harsh about it they're all dogs with fleas. Once you get past the first 10-12 teams there's not much difference in the next 20. Not...

Crowl was recruited because she's 6-4, reasonably athletic, and left handed. I saw her play club and she rarely took a big swing then so she is what she's always been. That said the potential was there so Hugh took a shot on her. It didn't work out. It happens. If you take the 8 who are playing...

I'm confused why anyone would be upset that Myers isn't being set more. Have you seen her swings. There's a 50/50 chance of an error every time and that's if she doesn't dead whiff on it. If we had a viable option she'd have been benched weeks ago. And please for the love of God don't anyone...

Minatee was on the bench for both matches this week. Today was the first time I'd seen Alex. Sure miss those two out on the floor.

I take a lot of positives from this match. First off Nebraska is beyond loaded. Andi Jackson and Bergen Reilly are locks for 1st team All American. Watching those 2 operate is like watching Rembrandt paint. Alick, Landfair, Choboy, Murray, and Adriano are each All Big Ten caliber players...

Sitting at the Pav among a sea of red. Trying to get mentally prepared for an ass whoopin. The red crowd will be all sorts of obnoxious. This is my version of hell.

I hope they can all sit down comfortably in class on Monday after the butt kicking they're likely to receive.

Thanks for nothing Volleyball Gods.

Just poking the bear. I knew you could take it.

You've been so unkind to our beloved Gophers. The young women you injured are good players and good people. They didn't deserve your punishment. Gophers fans have always been great, even Ruffda, and likewise do not deserve your wrath. It's time to throw us a bone. How about making that bone the...

To quote the late Denny Green " they are who we thought they were". This is a team of young players who were not expected to be in the roles they're filling. They're talented so sometimes it looks good. Other times they look like freshmen. To expect anything else is lunacy. This season is all...

Nice win tonight. Julia Hanson was a nasty beast. Illinois had no answer for her. I'd also like to know what the hell got into Carly Gilk from the service line so I can bottle it and share it with the rest of them. It looked like she added 10 MPH. She had Illinois out of system repeatedly and we...

These freshmen are good. Probably better than I thought they were. That said they're still freshmen. This was their first chance to grind out a road win against a quality team. They didn't get it done but they'll be better for it going forward.

My favorite thing about tonight's match, other than the win, was that the players looked like they were having fun. Lots of smiles, even in the 3rd set.

Indiana has had some injuries. Boo Fricken Hoo. Tell it to someone who cares.

Roster building is not that easy. What libero or DS is going to want to transfer in and have to beat out Palabiyak or Thibault. A top flight setter is not going to want to come in and sit behind Stella. Cook was able to bring in a middle in Myers because we had a clear need for one. I'd have...
