9-18-16 Weekend Wrap Q&A with Talking Head

I will say this.

As the preseason is over and we head into B1G play I highly doubt you will see much from the freshmen group outside of White(obviously)
The B1G is unforgiving and a veteran based league. Outside of our starters, the play of Krause, Holcomb, Pierce, Broerman and Rivera will be needed more than ever.

Serving, siding out and defending against the like of Mich, MSU, NW Minn etc over the next 2 weeks will be a whole new ball game. Even the Stanford and Colorado matches can't replicate the importance, speed of the game, attention to detail and urgency of LEAGUE games.

Come Oct 6th I think we will have a good feel for where this team is headed.

Growing popularity?
Is this expressed in attendance? Are attendance figures from last year showing increases after accounting for the Nebraska turnout at year end?
Are there more colleges fielding teams in all divisions?
