It will take a miracle for Penn State to win the national championship. Thank goodness I believe in miracles. I too believe in miracles, especially with Lady Lion Volleyball! Besides, 'tis the season for miracles!!

Seems like it would be a miracle after the poor performances recently vs Minn, Mich and Nebr. But this PSU team has the talent. Just not playing at a high level, up to their ability, consistently. That second set vs Dayton would not have happened to the 2007-10 and 2003-14 teams.

Didn't the 2014 team blow an 18-10 lead to Illinois?

Didn't the 2014 team blow an 18-10 lead to Illinois? If I had the energy to scroll back to September I remember reading and even talking about how many of us felt this team would win in different ways than we were used to and maybe not as cleanly. So when we look at the road to the final 4 we may just have to deal with the route that other teams have to take.......you know the 3-1 and 3-2 matches. I am very confident that if games go 4 and 5 Coach Rose has solid grasp of this team's pulse and will maintain an edge. I can see us taking down Hawaii 3-0 or 3-1 It has been pointed out PSU's traditional advantage over unbalanced offenses like this one. That advantage would carry over against Illinois if they won. Minnesota would be a dog fight but the neutral site and I don't see Minnesota playing close to the way they played last time. That would be a 3-1 or 3-2 match.

cross5 I sure hope you are right. It was a lift to see Thelan bring it on Saturday night....gives PSU more tools in the toolbox.

I'm hoping all of our opponents from here on concentrate on Thelen ☺ OK, I'll modulate that a bit: I hope of they don't show Thelen some respect, that we exploit the heck out of that mistake.

You are a 'prima modulator'. If nyline says it, it must be true!
