    Post season volleyball thread

    Agree that Minnesota has a great setup. And I do think the Wisconsin Fieldhouse is a cool building in its own right, and it might have had a sprucing up since I was there last. What I recall while wandering behind the stands is dark, dingy walls with painted-over windows and peeling paint.

    Post season volleyball thread

    A couple of things on facilities - Wisconsin plays in their old Fieldhouse, which I believe was built by the Pilgrims a couple of years following their landing at Plymouth Rock. Have not been there for a few years, but at that time there was a fair amount of deferred maintenance. Missouri...

    Hy-Vee Big 4 Classic Ending

    Yup. Give UNI a couple of seasons to calm down and realize the BB situation is fundamentally the same as FB.

    UNI - ISU Broadcast

    UNI's graduation losses were serious, and returning all-conference guard Ellie Herzberg Howell was a non-factor against IUPUI. Megan Maahs is a good power forward, but is the tallest Panther at 6'1" and so has been moved to center. Looks like a rebuilding season for UNI, given lack of size and...

    UNI - ISU Broadcast

    It will be available on ESPN3, so any device that will support the WatchESPN app (phone, tablet, Roku, etc) should be able to get it.

    ***Iowa State at Iowa***

    UNI's Tanya Warren made the same mistake a few days ago.

    ***Iowa State at Iowa***

    Yup there's a black curtain going about 2/3 of the way around the bowl about halfway up, in use for VB and WBB. No curtain in front of the TV camera station on the concourse, or the media control booth to the left of that. IMHO it merely draws attention to the issue.

    ***Iowa State at Iowa***

    Tore her meniscus early last season and had a setback over the summer. Has just now been cleared and will dress tonight, but will not play per Bluder.

    I hadn't heard that exactly, but have heard he can be a handful.

    Softball Coach - Gemeinhardt-Cesler

    Minnesota has been a Top 25 team the last few years with similar weather. To be fair, they of course don't play conference opponents from TX and OK.

    Women's NCAA Tournament

    Just curious, how do you explain the lack of an WNFL or WMLB?

    WBB: Speaking of transfers...

    I'd thought that Iowa had more forwards than they had minutes for, so was not surprised about Larson. There was talk that Bluder had been on pretty hard on Jennings in practice, and the team had a tough time putting 40 good minutes together all season so I'd guess things weren't getting any...

    Was UNI's Tanya Warren an assistant under Fennelly?

    WBB: Fernstrom leaving ISU

    Thanks, I'd forgotten about Machado, that was a biggie. I'm not remembering Kathy Thomas at all, obviously she was there.

    WBB: Fernstrom leaving ISU

    Offhand, I can't recall any recent Iowa transfers, though I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two in the future since they are overstocked on forwards. Agreed that transfers in all sports are happening more frequently, UNI's VB program being an in-state example. ISU WBB's rate is abnormally...

    WBB: UNI game tonight

    UNI isn't completely healthy either. Starting center is recovering from her 2nd ACL and is maybe 75-80%. Last years starting center hasn't played yet this year. Starting PF from 2 years ago is also recovering from an ACL and only plays 8-10 minutes per game. One of their shooting guards...

    Well, Minnesota's Zahui B left with eligibility remaining, but yeah it's extremely rare.

    Gun Enthusiasts: Please advise

    I usually shoot these in my Ruger 10/22 rifle with no problem. However, once I shot at a squirrel about 1/3 of the way up a tree trunk. He ran up to the top of the tree, so I figured I missed. Managed to find him in my scope and got him with a head shot. As I was cleaning him I learned I'd...

    Questions on Anna Prins

    A fully healthy and motivated AP is a sight to behold. Looked like she had some sort of bandage on her right shoulder in the K-State game.
