Acutally you don't have to save it to blow it up. Like other pics you can just move your curso to the lower right and then expand screen button will appear. Just click it.

other than being extremely cool are there training advantages to the sand court Well according to Cook when it was being planned...he said it should help with floor defense and making "different" shot selections. Saleaumua's beach volleyball experience was what was being credited for her superior defense and variety of shot selections relative to her Husker teammates.

Best thing about beach VB is that a player can play -- and play a LOT -- without wearing down her body. The more you play, the better you be -- on the court or on the beach.

I have played on that court, it is great. The sand is "Hermosa" deep.

If it is at Penn State or Nebraska, it must be great - right Keystone?

Great place to leave the kids. But leave the cats at home.

I didn't click on the link. Can someone describe, succinctly, what that photo shows?

"The Skybridge allows Nebraska student-athletes to walk from practices and workouts in the Hawks Championship Center to the Strength Complex and Athletic Medicine Center inside the Osborne Athletic Complex while remaining inside a controlled and safe environment."
Well that's worth forty bazillion dollars. I had no idea that a college campus in Nebraska was such a wild and dangerous place they needed a skybridge to protect their vulnerable athletes.

Did they build this hoping to recruit Alix Klineman?

I had no idea that a college campus in Nebraska was such a wild and dangerous place they needed a skybridge to protect their vulnerable athletes. 50 million is peanuts compared to what others in the conference are spending. Hey, I don't disagree that the gazillions of dollars spent on upgrading athletic facilities is outrageous. But its there and they aren't going to tear it down just cause I think its obscene. So I am just going to enjoy it. Can't be as bad as Permian High School spending 75000 dollars to charter a plane to play an opponent 500 miles away in 1987.
