I'm going to need a little help from some of the other Nebraska fans on who the visiting team was, I'm think it might be Missouri, but I'm just guessing. Here's the story.
It was about 10ish years ago and I can't even remember but I think it was in the days before we had reserved seating. Often there'd be a thousand plus in line by the time the doors opened at 6 for a 7 o'clock match. I believe the Nebraska player had already come out on the court to start stretching when the PA announcer came on and said the the other team's bus was driving through some foggy conditions and was around Fall City, NE which is still about 90 miles from Lincoln. We had the Pep band to entertain us some and we got several updates of the other teams progress. I think there was also some concern just before they got there that we might even loss the refs. Finally it must have be after 8 when the team showed up to a standing ovation from the 4000 Husker fans. It was kind of neat. Then both teams began their 40 minute warmups and we got to see a volleyball match.
I live about 90 minutes from the Colliseum plus back then I'd usually be in line by around 5, so it made for a long but memorable evening.
So help me now, who was the other team? Do you remember the year?
