if there won't be nothing new, does that mean that there will be something new?...

I don't think that is a worry quite yet. Once Bobbi gets a chance to get the team back in the practice gym (not really possible with the way the schedule has been the past couple weeks), I'm sure she'll get at least some of the problems fixed. Obviously...

Mo State knocked off K-State (K-State isn't THAT good, but still. better than Boise State). Illinois State knocked off #14 Illinois.
If UNI continues to play the way they did today, they might end up 3rd in conference (or worse).

The box score on Creighton's website for the CU/UNI match lists attendance at 2664, which seems fairly accurate.

The box score on USC's website for the USC/UNI match lists attendance at 161, and while I didn't take the time to try and count...

I don't know much about the technical aspects of volleyball, but I would say that all that starts with passing (i.e. digging the other team's attack or serve and getting it to the setter). Do a good job of that and things will go much smoother and open...

it is so odd to see a UNI volleyball team that struggles this much at digging and passing. For years they've been known for their ability to dig just about anything. But this season they are getting aced quite often, and even when they dig, Koop often...

but what was the net?...

Not impossible. Will have to see how the RPI develops over the next couple weeks. But barring some upsets, I think we'd up a bubble team at best.
Just gotta keep at it, improve, and take care of business in conference play (especially around...

Another loss at ISU. Panthers just aren't as good this year as they've been previously. Service errors, serve receive errors, unforced attack errors, bad passing that really limits Koops setting options, and little offense beyond Karlie Taylor who...

The MVC as a whole is really underperforming in volleyball so far this season.
25 wins and 35 losses (.417) with no impressive wins and quite a few losses to bad teams.

It is too early in the season for RPI data, but going off of Pablo...

I wish people picked up after themselves more. I'll give a pass to parents with young kids, as they have their hands full enough already. But for others.... c'mon man! how tough is it for you to take your own trash to the garbage can / recycling ...

Are you complaining because he actually attempted to return those punts instead of just fair-catching everything? On the punts I remember from the first half, there always seemed to be a free Thunderbird bearing right down on him, so there really wasn't...

this is why we can't have nice things

kudos to the person standing and cheering early on in the west side seats, despite the typical westsiders griping about it incessantly

they need more variety in soda selection too....

no ESPN+ coverage (because UNI's ESPN+ resources were diverted to the football game), thus no "media time out".
That would be my guess.

I think for conference matches, they may do the "media timeout" in all matches...

It isn't the losses themselves that bother me. These are good teams we're playing, and UNI just doesn't quite have the pieces in place to pull off the upsets.
But it is the way that they looked on the court today that concerns me. Perhaps I should...

I'm already writing tonight's match off as a Kentucky sweep. (I mean, I'll still be there and cheering them on, but I don't hold any hope in the outcome)

The UNI team has just lost their mojo. Part of it is just being tired, I'm sure....

Time for another full (hopefully fun) day on campus.

My agenda:
10 am: to the McLeod Center to cheer on UNI volleyball as they take on #15 USC
1 pm-ish: grab some lunch from the Kubo food truck in the Fan Zone area of the McLeod...

UNI played Panther volleyball at times tonight, but at other times they just fell apart. Too many unforced errors (service errors and open attacks missing wide/long), and at times at the end they just looked lost on defense, which is not what we're...
