    NCAA 2023 Brackets

    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.

    NCAA 2023 Brackets

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

    NCAA 2023 Brackets

    Wiscovid. No program benefited more.

    NCAA 2023 Brackets

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

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

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

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    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*?

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    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...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    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...

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    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...

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    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...

    Gopher Sports: Opposite Lydia Grote Joins the Gophers

    Well this is fodder for discussion, no?

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    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.")

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

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

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    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.

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    If you have great DSs, maybe. If your 6ro players are better -- or even close to as good -- no way.

    Spring Season & Roster 2023

    What IS rare is winning the national championship. I think someone doesn't really appreciate that fact. I know someone views players and coaches as failures if they don't.

    Phoebe Awoleye transfers in - NEW MIDDLE!!!

    Can't find it anywhere, so is it pronounced: a - wol - lay - yay? Interesting bio. NY to London to USA. Parents Nigerian and British.

    Master Coaches Interview Keegan Cook

    Good for you. But I'd take an ethically run program over one that does anything to win a title ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Gotta say, your priorities need examining.

    Master Coaches Interview Keegan Cook

    Another interview. You can't help but like the guy, right?

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    That seems to be the ONLY way Texas could win a title. They finally made the team Elliot-proof. Count me in the group that hopes this sort of stuff causes programs to crash and burn. It's borderline unethical (and may not even be borderline).
