She was getting some playing time. I thought he might be getting her ready for more playing time. But that doesn't seem to be happening recently. Any thoughts?

All MAC player (elite) alongside Kelly for two years ... wrecked knee ... surgery, rehab & release. IMO new coaching staff elected to go another direction. Tough deal. Used her vs Ball St and nothing since. Cats so deep, so talented. IMO Chelsea has been kicked to the curb. Calling it as I see it. Go Cats! Two nice wins at the Convo.

If so, it's unfortunate, but don't blame the coaches for not playing her if that's the case.

I can certainly imagine the recovery could take a long time. And/or, maybe it was just too devastating to be recovered from to a high-competitive level. If Chelseas was anywhere near as good as she was pre-injury, it's difficult to believe that we wouldn't get her on the court. Hopefully, she's getting there! Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

She probably is not back to where she was pre-injury. There would be absolutely no point in "kicking her to the curb" if the coaches thought she'd could help. In her tweets (her twitter account is public) she has not indicated any unhappiness, but has mentioned that she expects to graduate in the spring. I'll put 1+1 together and predict she'll be honored next month on senior night.

I've seen all the matches she's played in and she looks confident and I think her experience helps lift the team when they need it. The rumor mill is saying she was somewhat "encouraged" to pursue opportunities elswhere for her last year of eligibility. Tough luck for a past all MAC Bobcat but, as we all know, this is the way of sports. Her demanor on the sidelines and during matches shows that she's a class act...and that when asked, she appears to give it her all when her team needs her. I heard, again through the rumor mill, that she's uncertain whether she'll go ahead and start grad school and play her last year of eligibility at another school next year.

I agree only one vote matters. Chelsea wrecked her knee while playing v-ball for Ohio and it appears she worked her way back post a nasty injury. Can you explain why she stands and watches while young ladies who arrived in Athens 6 months ago are allowed the opportunity to represent the Cats? I know for a fact her teammates care and many fans of Ohio v-ball care. I stand by my belief she has been kicked to the curb. Semantics on your part. These kids are not pros and to bury a kid post an injury is disgraceful. I watched the Ball St match on TV and Chelsea played well and terminated balls when others struggled to do so. The Cats have a GREAT team this year and no one disputes that! A player should NEVER lose the opportunity to contribute due to an injury. NEVER!

Any facts that Chelsea has been "kicked to the curb"? Not very fair to malign the coaches like that without anything to back it up. My last entry on this topic. I stand by my words. Every player on the Bobcat roster played over the weekend, except one. You say my words "malign" the coaches, yet show no compassion for one of our own. Coaches are not above reproach. I support the Cats ... all of them. The media, Cat fans, parents and opposing coaches have consistently inquired about Chelsea and her ability to contribute to the MAC's best "team" upon her medical release/return to action, while IMO the head coach has not been transparent. You may define "kicked to the curb" however you wish. Two weeks ago Chelsea pulled her weight during a tough stretch at BSU and the Cats prevailed. She remains capable and deserves better. It is one thing to lose your spot in the rotation due to injury. It is a completely different thing to be relegated to the bench for an entire season (two years in a row). Be a Bobcat "fanatic", but show some compassion in the process. The Emperor has no Clothes ...

As Swank said on another thread, this is quite possibly the deepest, most talented Ohio team we have seen in quite a while. None of us are in practice everyday. I trust the coaching staff, and am enjoying the ride toward yet another MAC championship. We have a great team, made up of a group of women I am proud to have represent my school..   Back to Top Alan Swank General User Member Since: 12/11/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 7,072 Status: Offline     RE: Chelsea Bilger    Posted: 10/27/2014 9:18:58 AM  Bobcat Booster wrote: Alan Swank wrote: Bobcat Booster wrote: brucecuth wrote: Yes, agree with Monroe and Up San.
