If Stanford doesn’t sort out their reception, they’ll be hurting. Nebraska’s was bad in beginning but they turned things around. BYU’s reception was worse than Stanford’s and that’s why they got demolished. Nebraska will put up a good fight and I hope they win, but I see Plummer being too much

Stanford is a fabulous team and the Huskers will definitely have their plate full on Saturday night. Having said that, there have been much stranger things occur in sports than if NE were to be victorious. Don't count them out. The only way Nebraska does not lose this match is if, there is a horrendous snow storm, due to Trump. The roof leaks, or collapses, cancelling the match. Nebraska’s chance of losing is the same as you having a stroke so you’ll STFU

The reason the committee loaded the B1G teams on one side, was to ensure at least one B1G made it through to the final! Card has never lost to Wisconsin, Illinois, or Minnesota. They wisely put Penn State and Michigan on our side--other than Nebraska, the two B1G's with best chance of stopping Card. Let Nebraska fans talk. Their ego has gotten so big. It’s fine. They will be humbled just like psu fans have. Nothing last forever and my guess is Stanford goes back to back. Says the Penn State fan with the biggest ego around......

Well without getting to far off Nebraska Stanford talk I will say as a psu fan I think I along with most psu fans were pretty comfy with our position then Rockwell decided to step away now I am kinda nervous what’s gonna happen when he leaves. I’ve always thought with some experience harmatto/dietzen could be good coach. That’s who I want to see provided she was groomed but I don’t even know if she wants to coach. Rockwell is one of the primary reasons I brought it up. She seemed like replacement material, but he was not interested in passing the reins. Will he ever? Part of the problem may be that coaching pays better now at the very top, so it is harder to walk away from like Petit did. Shoji, Haley, Gimallaro, Banachowski and even McLaughlin (who was younger) coached for over 10 years after their last NC. How long will Rose and Cook keep going? I don't know all the reasons why he left, but it was huge for Nebraska that Petit brought in his successor and then stepped away so young. PSU has never transitioned, so that is a huge question mark. They were paying Rockwell head coach salary. Many believed she was the best assistant coach in nation psu was in great position. I know I was devastated when it came out she was stepping away from game.

This thread has already turned into a dumpster-fire and we still have two days.
I, as a Stanford fan, believe Nebraska poses big challenges to the Cardinal in their serve / pass game and defense.
No one has been better in the last 4 years than Nebraska at this stage of the tournament.
I think it will be a really competitive match.

I mean god forbid we could have one single %$%^ing match thread that doesn't turn into a dumpster fire and actually have a discussion on the match itself?

I get that, but what good is sports forums without some friendly banter. People would prob be bored if there was none.

What do you expect by starting a match thread 2 days early when nobody else is playing? Agreed. Thread was started to early. Probably could have been started tommorrow evening.

I'm glad the thread was started 30 seconds after the conclusion of Nebraska-Illinois match. Next year I will be expecting ilikecorn to have the thread out there within 10 seconds. I don't like all his one-sided Nebraska pics in the opening post; but much better that, than some wannabe coming along and starting a ridiculous empty thread with nothing but a poll. Had several of those this season in PAC. Got a little irritating.

Why would you check volleytalk if you’re not trying to know the result of a Final Four match?!?! What thread could you be dying to read at this point in the season? That’s like saying damn you - ESPN front page for showing the result of a match I didn’t see yet!
