USC and Wash shouldn't have been in the same region. USC would beat Wisc 3-0, even if they had to travel to Madison to do it.
Eiite Eight Match Texas vs Neb on now
- Thread starter StClone
- Start date
Robinson was a huge get for NU. She carried the youngsters in the early season. Nice when a conference POY walks in.
To be for Texas over Nebraska is a tough call. I am not exactly a big Texas fan. It is hard to say which is worse, Texas, or the Big ten.
And their setter transfered from Tennessee also. Wonder how their freshman setter feels about getting "transfered" over.
Having been able to beat them (UT) in recent years, says a lot about ISU and the program. Selling that to recruits, and having the national champion in your conference to compete against far out weighs any benefit the other way. We would benefit greatly from a B1G dropoff, IMO.
If you noticed, the PAC12 teams have a sprinkling of players from Texas. It would be good to have them stay in conference, too. At ISU, of course, playing against the in-state school that overlooked them.
The announcer of the Texas vs Neb had the date wrong, and should of posted this ealier but Tex vs Wis is tonight:
Volleyball national semifinals tonight at 7:30, 9:30 on ESPN2. Texas vs. Wisconsin, Penn State vs. Washington. espnW -- Wisconsin Badgers face tall order against Texas Longhorns in NCAA women's volleyball semifinals

I didnt know that Eckerman was from Waterloo. Since I didnt know she was from Waterloo- I dont remember us recruiting her. Did we have a chance to land her? She is a beast!
Wow - Wisconsin looks great. Texas is the first seeded team they have had to play in the tournament, but the Badgers are rolling. They finished fourth in the Big Ten, and are one set up on the #1 team.
Figured I would look it up and see if there was a thread in the volleyball forum.
Short answer to my question above: A resounding NO!

Holy **** Wisky is destroying them!
I'm torn because WI is my 2nd fave team, but I want the Big 12 in the championship to shut up the BIG/PAC homers.

Got to admit though- its hard to hate on the B1G when they have absolutely dominated this volleyball season. Just inflating their already enormous ego-filled heads will only get them that much closer to exploding.
they have completely shut down Webster. Unbelievable.
They are really, really exploiting the weak passing of Texas. UT's block is usually enough to cover that up, and they're outblocking UW 8-0........but still not enough!

Yeah, the all thought it would be PSU/Nebby..........don't think anyone thought Wisconsin would go this far this year.
I thought WI might go to four sets but this is nuts. Texas is not playing well and WI may be the reason.
Wisconsin is playing great defense, and Texas seems to be hitting tentatively. It will be interesting to see if better passing will even help.

These announcers are doing a great job at making an exciting sport seem dull. Wake those idiots up!
if UW can't sweep, I don't think they'll be able to do it. Texas is picking it up and UW is playing out of their minds, don't think they could keep it up for two more sets. They are very talented, but I don't think they are capable of beating Texas when Texas is playing like Texas.
Bet we'll see Carlini on an Olympic team in the future.
