I think that the Gophers will lose in straight sets to Wisconsin. I hope they play well and learn from the experience. There will be no reason to give up on the season because there are a lot of games left against the rest of the pack. The Gophers could still finish as high as 5th in the Big...

Not much left in the tank for the third set. They are going to have to do much work to finish 5th in the Big Ten.

Tough second set. Gave up a large lead again. It will be an uphill battle now. Purdue has confidence and less pressure and could win in straight sets. Hope the Gophers can reach deep and force the match into extra sets.

Good first set. We had our chances--4 set points. Lost a big lead. Achilles heel was M&L in the back row. I thought Grote would win the set on her serve. A lot of kills from G, L, & M.

Great come back Gophers! Good win. They don't give up although I think some players have "Walk-a-bouts," especially after mistakes. Great run near the end of the 4th set. Strong serving by Murr during the run. Nice to see Grote serve it out under pressure. Good substitution of Crowl at a...

Nice to get a win over Iowa especially on their turf. However, the game was as ugly as Floyd's rear end. The defensive line saved our bacon.

Good win. Revenge. The third set showed how well they can play when they are relaxed and not feeling pressure. If they can control their nerves and not dwell on missed shots, they can play very well.

Nice to get a win. Disappointing that it was a great struggle. They are poor at concentrating. They panicked a couple of times, especially to give NW that huge ( 14 pt?) run. Where would they be without Lydia Grote. She is the only one playing close to her potential. On the plus side, they...

Exciting match. Disappointing result. Need to learn to play good defense. Need to cut down on service errors. Giving your opponent 14 free points on serves is highly unacceptable. Is their strategy to go for broke on serves because their defense is so poor? We are in the bottom half of the...

I have to wonder if there is something physical wrong with Landfair or personal issues . She has gone from being the best hitter/player in the Big Ten to being an ordinary player. I wonder if she is having abdominal issues again or some off court problems. If so, it is probably better to rest...

Tough loss. The volleyball was good for two sets. Then, in the middle of the third set, the Gophers hit a wall--emotional and maybe physical because they had the toughest match on Friday. Beating Stanford on their home court is always tough.

Big win over a top ten team on a neutral court. Gritty effort.

Disappointing match. It looked like Florida scouted the Gophers well and knew their tendencies. The Gophers looked tight. Florida outplayed the Gophers in most areas, especially on defense. The Gophers could not adjust. It was good to see Cook make some changes in the third set even though...

Gophers had their chances. Sloppy play at critical times killed them. Everyone had their good moments. Wucherer needs to learn when to hit the "Wuch" out of the ball and when to take the "Wuch" off it. Landfair needs to step up in big moments. Shaffmaster was steady. Murr made many...

Excellent play. Gophers didn't let Baylor get much rhythm. Great team work. Best defense that the Gophers have played in a long time. Everyone made the best out of their playing time. It will be interesting to see how they play against Texas. It may be hard for them to maintain this high...

Good start to the Cook Era tonight. The first set was disappointing--maybe, they were a little too excited. In the next sets, the team work and defense improved, and they put together some good runs. Murr and Grote had great debuts as gophers. Wucherer and Landfair were solid, especially...

Great to see Regan's venture. I enjoyed watching her play and wish her the best. The website is very endearing and interesting. However, I didn't think the differences between courses, classes, and lessons were clear and what they might entail. Maybe, it is really early in the development...

Get over it people. Musselman was not a serious candidate for the Minnesota coaching job because Arkansas was way ahead of Minnesota in recruiting him. Furthermore, he inherited a stronger nucleus of players than he would of had at Minnesota. The Razorback foundation also has lots of money...

The Gophers only need three uniforms: gold, maroon, and white. That is 9 combinations. Several years ago, the Gophers were bragging about new uniforms and how many different uniforms that had. I think gold should be part of any uniform combination because we are the Golden Gophers. I think...

What is the status of Stanford? They are a plum for some conference to pick.
