26 on Friday and 10 more on Sat. Tomorrow will be a BIG day! I have a memorial cycling ride to courthouse tomorrow morning but will be back in time for 1st serve of 1st match on Friday. By Sunday we'll all be looking to detox from too much VB (not our fellow member poster "Toomuchvb"). Acceptable. No volleyball detox until Sunday, December 20th!

Whew! Just flew in from Volleytalk and boy are my arms tired! But seriously folks, the hate there for PSU is palpable. Thank goodness most of our fans are pretty careful about not being overly obnoxious. Speaking of which, and I refer to someone who was formerly a bit aberrant, anybody hear anything from Boof? I don't know if he ever came on this forum. I miss him. He always gave voice to sentiments I was too careful to express.

Score does not show, but WI was on its heels for much of the match v Oregon. (future opponents: let's look at the video tape!) Good result, but i cannot imagine them feeling good about coming out of round I like that. However, i thought Oregon (maybe not by this year's record, but by its NCAA history) was a pretty hefty Round I opponent for the 6th seed. Normally, a teams with Wisconsin's seed wouldn't meet that good a team in the first or even second round. Agreed. Clearly, it was Penn State's fault.

Yes, that was definitely the best first round opponent for a seeded team, but they can't give any excuses. WI still needs to go out there and win any matches against an opponent who is not playing as well as they are now.

I think another PAC12 team(Arizona) goes down in round 1 and all 7 BIG teams playing today in round 1 make it to Saturday. The matches to watch today(other than Penn State) are Texas/Purdue and Florida/Florida State(both in same region). Yes, two really good matches for sure. I hope Purdue takes down TX. As for Florida State, I don't think they are that good. I'm really surprised they took down AZ State yesterday.

I don't know if he ever came on this forum. I miss him. He always gave voice to sentiments I was too careful to express. Hahahaha!!! That's why I called it "Fast and Furious VolleyTalk" in an earlier thread. Yes, I rarely mention PSU, just to keep the contentious attitude at a minimum, but then I wonder what the heck I'm even doing there. Half the threads are for humor and most of the posters are self-made comedians. Too easy to get caught up in all that. I prefer it here much more. I hope Boof is OK health-wise, maybe he's detoxing from too much VolleyTalk?

TCU running all over Hawaii in set 1 - 14-6. I knew this would be a tough match for Wahine but didn't think it would be this bad. Hitting .047

I think it's free for the post-season. You will need to enter your TV subscriber info though, but you won't have to buy the BTN+ subscription.
