    She's been a "Girls Prep Associate Head Coach" at Shattuck St Mary's for the last three (?) years. This is a step up, to be sure.

    The 2021 national champion UW volleyball team had a backrow defender named Georgia Civita. She was an all-conference transfer from Wichita State who had already had two ACL tears/replacements on the same knee. At the end of September, that ACL went out again. (Subsequent ACL injuries are often...

    We're also talking as if MJ sets lines and sticks with them. :) I know this one because I've watched it a couple thousand times by now: during the OT of the championship game, Pickard gets tossed out of the faceoff. Which winger goes in to take the draw? Scannell. LOL. (I think I can squeeze...

    Of course. When the center gets thrown out of the faceoff, one of the wings takes the face-off. But the numbers are a few dozen, and not the hundreds that a center will take. For the record: Eden in the 20-21 season took exactly one faceoff; in 22-23, 2 faceoffs; in 23-24, 59 faceoffs; and last...

    The stats page at the WCHA web site shows the 30 players in the WCHA who took the most faceoffs, along with won-lost totals and percentages. Four Badgers on the list for last season - O'B, Hall, Pickard, Scannell, in that order, with Scannell taking the fewest of the four, 224 total taken (O'B...

    People think of "broken leg" as if it were a binary thing. But there's a whole range of things that might be called "broken leg" and yet have a wide range of recovery times. Some sort of hairline fracture or bone bruise or bone stress reaction, and she could be ready to play without missing any...

    As long as I've gone into the business of starting new threads ... Start with this rather eye-opening stat: Wisconsin returns more 'goals scored' from last season - 186 - than any other team's total scored during the 24-25 season. Ohio State scored 155, Minnesota 153.

    If Sierra used to sit behind the bench, he won't be anymore. If there's going to be a designated "visitor family and friends" area, it won't be in the revenue-generating reserved seats. Neither will any "Badger family and friends" section, for that matter. So, figure out where he's sitting, and...

    Just a few minutes ago, related to volleyball tickets becoming 'downloadable' this morning, there another email about the new ticket scanning procedures specific to iPhone users - which I am not. And I'm not sure I understand what it is saying, but it maybe affects iPhone users abilities to...

    "$20 * 500" assumes all 500 sell. They likely will, but it isn't a given. As for "trickle down", besides UW and Minnesota and (only recently Ohio State?), how many schools charge anything more than a "nuisance fee", if they even charge that?

    Night before last, I got an email about volleyball tickets, and it contains news of a change in the ticketing process that I assume will be coming to WH (and men's hockey, and football, etc). The digital tickets will no longer have a scannable bar code or QR code. Instead, the ticket will be a...

    They don't care about transferring occasionally; they care about reselling frequently.

    It's not unlike what they did with volleyball four (?) years ago, when they designated different sections of the Field House as 'gold, silver, bronze, and red' seating (with some general admission sections, mostly the second level) with different ticket price tiers. Those (like me) who had had...

    I don't know that that is easy to do these days. Digital tickets can be or maybe are now set up such that the only way to sell one is to transfer it through the chosen ticket re-seller, SeatGeek. That means that the university can track how often someone is re-selling their tickets. A couple...

    BTW: Last year was $120 for 15 games, or $8 per game - 15 because of one 'lost' to Wrigley Field. That means that this year's $12 per game is a 50% increase. Similar such big increases have been an annual thing for UW volleyball, since the 2021 national championship. (If that is the...
