Iowa Volleyball

We went the Iowa/NU football game and stayed to watch volleyball on Sunday. Iowa started off on a 9-4 run and looked good and then everything unraveled quickly. It appears we get stuck in a bad rotation where we cannot get a good pass and then do not recover. This has happened in other games as well. It appears we're one or two good back row players from making noise in the big ten.
 
Well you have to admit the B1G record is BAU. Actually in past seasons we typically would have won a match by now. But this has mostly to do with scheduling I suppose - our easier opponents are coming up the second half of the B1G season.

Playing eight ranked teams in your first ten B1G matches is a nightmare. On the other hand, getting swept in both the matches against the two non-ranked opponents is disappointing.

Such a tough VB conference. We have some good players, but there's still a talent gap between us and the upper 2/3 of the conference. The 3rd set vs. Wisconsin unfortunately was vintage Iowa VB. Front line not getting many blocks and back line getting bombarded with spikes. Hope we can recover by the time Rutgers & Maryland come to town.
 
Wonder why IA hasn't promoted the game Saturday night more. Free and could easily be just a hour and half after football.

B1G has 8 teams in the top 25. Awesome. Iowa's record should improve in the second half of the season.

Ouch, lost 3-1 at home to the Terps, who had been 1-9 in B10 play. That, combined with Rutgers previous lone conference W puts the Hawks in 14th place. I still think Shymansky was a good hire, but there's no denying the wheels have come off this season. :(

3-0 over Rutgers tonight. Looked much better, though a weak team. Big ten win is a big ten win. Hopefully gets some confidence rolling.
 
This guy always posts "BAU" when Iowa drops a game in say baseball, volleyball, etc...
