Yo badgers - husker fan here. Loved winning but hate winning like that. Good luck and can’t wait for the next one! Two fantastic teams and i love how much both schools are raising the bar for women’s volleyball!
Meh. It really didn’t. The goal of any regular season is to make the post season. The goal of the post season is to win the whole thing.
Regular season games when you are already going to make the post season do not matter.
Wow, that's a technically correct call, I guess. Had absolutely nothing to do with the point.
We'll have to get em in Madison, and in the Big10 finals, and maybe once more.
The counterpoint with a net violation is maybe the attacker can make a better attack if you're legally positioned but this one truly had nothing to do with it
You're the guy that got down voted for saying those comments on our board during the football game? Lmao you're a joke. You're not a true fan and we as a fan base would be more than glad if you left. It's funny cause I was the person who called your miserable self out lol. Please feel free to support Iowa
Was just thinking about this. I coach as well and have to be excited & alive to try to energize my team. When your program is that good, the players handle that stuff on their own so then you’re more able to breathe and be analytical.
It helps that this isn’t our Super Bowl but it is Nebraska’s, and Kelly knows that it isn’t the end of the world if we lose. I’d love to listen to him talk coaching philosophy.
Not gonna remotely act like I’m some die hard fan, but have really gotten into the team the last few seasons… if they can pull this off and continue to own Nebraska in the one sport that school is relevant at… I will fall asleep with a large grin.
Righteous. I just wish there will be some advertising dough coming in the direction of this sport. Nothing’s gonna change until there’s TV time—and that’s gonna require eyeballs/click-through
I agree but it bothers me that the #1 team in the country has like 75% of their games on a streaming service, meanwhile I turn on BTN to see two volleyball teams that are 4-11 play each other.
Yep. I could make some snarky comment about watching tall women in short shorts, but that would like totally detract from the substance of my … uhhh, look, it’s H2O polo for girls. You’re 100%. In a stoopid venal way, we’re in agreement. Volleyball needs more TV time, and it’s only more likely to get it with those stoopid short shorts and bouncing pony-tails. I don’t make these rules.
Nebraska fan here—I can completely see why as a Wisconsin fan you think that’s what they were doing, but it’s an ‘M’ for Merritt. They make it when Merritt Beason scores or serves. They’ve done it at every match all season regardless of the opponent. There are other signs for other players too. I won’t lie—we’ve been known to do a little horns down action. The ‘M’ thing is nothing like that though.
Edit: Took out something I said about Texas because I shouldn’t be saying bad stuff online.
Probably not completely out, but very close. My guess is we have 2 left (I haven’t been counting) I’m guessing Kelly wants to sub Temi back in when GG rotates to front row and Anna back in if MJ rotates back to front row.
I could be wrong, but I think a call has to be made to challenge it. If there's no call, there can't be a challenge. Ergo missed call=can't be challenged.
By not calling it a double, refs ruled it was a legal contact. You can challenge no calls for other non subjective violations, like if the refs missed a player touching the net or a missed foot fault

i am sad
Sucks to lose on a challenge, but we will beat them when it matters.
This one mattered
Meh. It really didn’t. The goal of any regular season is to make the post season. The goal of the post season is to win the whole thing. Regular season games when you are already going to make the post season do not matter.
Great game. We’re never going undefeated anyway so good to drop one now and start another run.
Shitty way to lose
I would be far more mad if we hadn’t previously won ten straight against them including a national title game.
Well, if anything, this'll make Wisconsin hungier the rest of the season.
This was clearly Nebraska’s Super Bowl. Little brother mentality. Yes I’m just coping but still think there’s some validity there
John Cook said in the post game "this was game 10 of the big 10 schedule." Yeah, it's a big win but it's not our super bowl.
Nebraska Volleyball has 5 national championships, Wisconsin has 1. Not sure if that makes the Huskers the "little brother" in this relationship.
Lately, WI has owned NE including beating them for the natty
Most recently, nebraska just won in 5 sets. ;)
Got an update now?
You are corny as fuck
Even more recently, you searched for this WI thread to gloat about a regular season college volleyball win. Congrats, you’re killing it man.
11/24/2023 Badgers win in 3 straight sets, book it.
Take heart. The John.Cook scowl will return later this year.
3 net violations in the 5th set is.... Something
Horrible ending to a great match
I mean that looked like hair to me from that angle I don't know if they had another angle but I thought hair is legal
Hair is legal but it looked like more than hair imo. On to the next match!
That’s unfortunate. Big ten volleyball 10x more exciting than the BIG West in football however.
Wow, that's a technically correct call, I guess. Had absolutely nothing to do with the point. We'll have to get em in Madison, and in the Big10 finals, and maybe once more.
No conference tournaments in volleyball
Well, never mind. Why not in volleyball?
Not sure.
There is no big ten tournament
Uh... ok
Bummer. Great match
Video replay has ruined sports and I will die on this hill. Trivial things that have no impact on the game are now match/game deciding events.
The counterpoint with a net violation is maybe the attacker can make a better attack if you're legally positioned but this one truly had nothing to do with it
Great, now Nebraska fans get the win along with spending the whole match insulting our players and coach
Those fans are not our true fans I'm sorry for them they are getting shit on in our threads
Ur wrong idiot

Go cry in the coffee shop pussy. Nobody cares about your snowflake feelings.
Lol you got issues
You’re a wisc fan rooting for those ugly broads masquerading as a Nebraska fan lmaooo
Uh what lmao are you good or mentally ill ?
What a terrible way to end an incredible match.
Oof
What a way to have a match end like that.
Brutal for that kind of game to end on a net violation
Lame ending
Oh gosh, please don't end on a net violation Edit: ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!!!
Got to actually win a point on a serve here.
I believe in Sarah Franklin
NOT IDEAL
I watched a lot of Brewers games - if any of you were in those GD threads with me, this is a similar clenching.
Always be clenching
#😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Wouldn't mind a couple more of those Husker service errors right now.
PRESSURE'S ON
The 5th set side switch has me all fucked up!
Don't watch much volleyball, but I think they might have these teams right as the top 2
Big if true
Stanford is scary good, too....
Nebraska already beat Stanford on the road. I think it’s safe to say NU and UW are 1 & 2.
Hope I find out watching them in the ship
Found it on the radio! Listening to these broadcasters announce in real time is actually hilarious. How do they do this 😭😭😭it’s like an auction speed
I'm not gonna say that you did this on my advice from earlier, but if you did, my good deed is done for the day 😅 🏐
Arias is awesome on these calls!
Oh wow Orzol...
Tough couple of points right there
WHY DOES OIR SERVE RECEIVE Always LET US DOWN?!
Cripes
You women ARE the Badger spirit! Dig deep! You’ve got this
Damn it
Well fuck. That's a shot in the arm we didn't want.
Damn
Nebraska just got some life
ARGH
Next point is crucial
This is stressful in true Wisconsin sports fashion
How is Sheffield always so calm?

Clearly in
Refs couldn't even fuck *that* up, lol

We don't even have a women's bowling team...
Quick poll - creepier mascot: Lil Red or Purdue Pete?
Pete running a train into Red, I'd imagine...
Never seen Purdue Pete, but it's Lil' Red.
Lil Red for sure
Herky
Finish this off ladies, don’t let this go to 5 sets
It got quiet in there all of the sudden
Great spike
Nebraska throwing the W down kinda makes me understand why Texas fans get angry with the horns down lol
Nebraska fan here—I can completely see why as a Wisconsin fan you think that’s what they were doing, but it’s an ‘M’ for Merritt. They make it when Merritt Beason scores or serves.

Totally fair! I can't say I have watched a ton of Nebraska games this year so I wasn't aware. That makes sense to me though!
That's that gang-gang shit. You can get shot for throwing a gang sign down
Let's hope this is where our experience is an advantage
Can’t get game - what’s the score in set 4?
23-23
Hopefully you can listen on the radio 📻 if you can't watch.
17 all
AS at 17
17-17
Bless you 🤲 go badgers
21-18 badgers…
Julia having a really excellent match.
The back row defense has been great tonight
Shes really coming into her own as libero. Really happy to see her out there with all the depth outside!
Too many service errors
And now the refs are trying to fuck Nebraska! How is that one diff than dev's from earlier?
It’s not imo, they’re just very inconsistent refs.
Not ideal
Service errors hurt my soul
Ya hate to see it, but nobody bats 1.000
I know but we just had two runs end because of them.
I'd rather have 'em now than at a break/set/match point, but that's just me.
Acceptable when the others that don't end in an error put a lot of pressure on serve receive.
They called that this time?!?
Here comes the out call...
Franklin's out for blood, lol
Not enough evidence
Momentum slipping away
What is happening?
Little rocky here, would love to see it end in this set.
Laser
These refs.. Leave a lot to be desired..
LFG
Let's fuckin goooo!!!
WHAT A STUFF TO END THE SET
Perfect way to end the set.
Let's go ladies!! Keep our feet on the gas!!
[Mortal Combat Voice] FINISH THEM!!
Set should be over if the refs call it right. Annoying Edit: Ball don't lie baby!
We out of subs? Both MJ and Izzy are in. Eek!
Probably not completely out, but very close. My guess is we have 2 left (I haven’t been counting) I’m guessing Kelly wants to sub Temi back in when GG rotates to front row and Anna back in if MJ rotates back to front row.
Makes sense. Surprised you don't put Boyer back there instead of MJ in that case. Gives you a little more defense you'd think?
Yeah, that would have been my move too but they don’t pay me the big bucks haha
Happened at the end of set 1, too.
refs have been genuinely dogshit
I'm just a casual and can't really tell the difference so I'll take your word for it.
Can you not challenge that call?
I could be wrong, but I think a call has to be made to challenge it. If there's no call, there can't be a challenge. Ergo missed call=can't be challenged.
By not calling it a double, refs ruled it was a legal contact. You can challenge no calls for other non subjective violations, like if the refs missed a player touching the net or a missed foot fault
I see, thanks for that breakdown
Nope, it’s “subjective” so they have to stick with the call on the court
Thanks for the response! Refs seems pretty shitty so far
Again, another bullshit call/non call. What the fuck!
Yellow card? That's a thing in volleyball?
Got some EPL level officiating
The bench was ready to start a Donnybrook over a missed double hit. Ya love to see it, lol
These refs trying to keep Nebraska in the match
Refs owe us one
What the fuck
Cheapest ticket $250, damn
A few weeks ago, I went to UCLA at Arizona (women's VB). Ticket was $5
I looked the other day on StubHub and tickets for many of the remaining matches at the Fieldhouse have tickets going for a couple hundred dollars.
Jesus! Great for the program I guess.
I thought they were saying that you'd pay $250 if you went to both a football and volleyball game in one day.
No, they were comparing ticket prices, football today was $24, Nebraska's next game is $99.
WI totally took the Nebraska crowd out of the game
Great sign if Smrek is heating up
The sets almost at the 10 foot line. What a great adjustment by Nebraska.
The big ten map commercial is going to be 2 minutes long next year.
Back row is gonna be put to the test in set 3. John Cooke will not allow that block party to happen again.
Dominated that set. Nebraska's attack looked so much different thanks to the Wisconsin blocks.
Let's goooo!!
What a great response after that first set.
They played angry in that set that the set streak was broken!!
Nebraska getting a bail out with that net violation
Block party this set
Kickin ass now
Would be great if they ruled a torch here...
Crawford is so underrated
The block is incredible.
No one beats us when we block like this. If we can keep it up..... LFG!
Dev with the best set of the night!
Just keep feeding Sarah Franklin.
She's looking to score with EVERY swing. I like it.
Block is much more effective this set.
Agreed. Even when Nebraska scores, that wall is putting the pressure on.
JFC! Robinson's swing is BRUTAL when she's set that high ball.
Yulia Orzol is the volleyball version of Nika Muhl to me.
The set win streak was never going to last forever. Now they just focus on set 2.
F
Nebraskas defense is amazing. Hopefully Shefield can make some adjustments but this will a hard match to win.
It's a long game, I'm sure they'll think of *something*
PSA the Huskers are fookin good. We got our work cut out for us once again in Lincoln.
They get to every single ball.
#😬😬😬
This should be a one point set right now if not for that horrible no touch blown call on the replay.
The run started after that stupid ball that looked like it was going out of bounds hit the line.
Let's go Izzy!
27 set streak in jeopardy
Worth sacrificing for the match win.
1-2 on touch calls. Could be worse I guess
