I drove up to Minneapolis from the Dubuque area. OMG, it was cold up there. I got the the venue with a couple of points having already been played. Thought I was going to freeze getting from $10 parking garage to venue to go all the way around to buy a ticket.
It was worth freezing to get inside and see the Buffs beat Iowa State.
Unfortunately, my 89 year old mother has been ill this week and I got a call early Saturday morning that I needed to come home. I checked out of hotel and drove home. I didn't stick around for the Minnesota-Radford match. There were a ton of Minnesota fans there for our match and they were still coming when I left. It was one car left the parking garage and they let another one in.
We hadn't had bad roads yet and the roads around the campus were very slick. So were the sidewalks. I can no longer say we haven't had bad roads.
Wish I could have stayed for the 2nd match, but I got to see the Buffs beat Iowa State.
Iowa State had cheerleaders, a band and had taken buses of fans to Minneapolis. We had a tape of the Fight Song. It was embarrassing as we stood and sang the Fight Song when it was played. Way back in the Salina games, CU used to rent a high school band for the tournament. CU could at least have done that for the volleyball team.
Sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she is okay.
Sorry to "re-awaken" this thread but I was wondering, has anyone heard if Coach Kritza is signed for the coming year(s)?
I believe she started with a 5 year contract, and this was year 5 for her, but I don't know/ can't remember if she's already signed an extension or not.
What decision? Why is this even a discussion? Make the second round of the NCAA tournament, beat several ranked teams, the trajectory of the program is extremely positive, and there's some kind of decision to make? Whaaaa?
Decision on contract market value & length, especially if George & Ceal aren't of an opinion that aligns with Kritza & Agent.
I don't think there's any doubt that CU would extend her a year with an incremental raise. But there are other decisions that need to be made in terms of the level and length of commitment.
