Could someone please post a picture of young curly haired Coach Russ Rose? With or without beard is fine. Here's a pic from Rose's first season at Penn State, 1979. He's the handsome fella on the right.  And here's a blown up version of the pic from the Nebraska Media Guide, circa 1978.  |

The optimist in me says Nebraska in five. A five setter with the Nittany Lions seemed like an annual ritual until COVID hit. And for the most part a good one. Long points, quality volleyball and often a Husker win. However, if the Husker setter decides to perform her magic trick and make Caffey disappear, or set her defensive specialist MORE TIMES than the aforementioned middle, then Penn State in four (or even less). Cook likes to use football analogies to make his point. Well here's one for ya. When your QB is either throwing into double coverage or missing open receivers and has three picks in the first half, try subbing out the QB instead of your workhorse running back. That doesn’t appear to be a concept adopted by any coach in any sport at Nebraska. . . We like to just let our athletes who the coaches believe are team leaders continue to play until they use up all their eligibility and the people behind them are forced to jump in the transfer portal if they want to play their sport. 🏈 This philosophy seems to be an epic fail at this point, but the coaches keep acting like Sisyphus and forge forward as they fall back. (On the other hand what happens if these team-leaders like playing so much that they want to use their Covid bonus year to return again? . . . gonna be a long fall of 2022…) #gbr |

This was awesome. Thank you for sharing. This coach knows her volleyball and knows how to coach people to be champions. I really liked her comparing the skills +/- between Larson and Allison Weston and Larson and the Rolfzens. She trained a number of Husker greats. |

It's funny how revered Rose is on VT. People speak well of him. But I remember him being the "Bad Guy" in the 80s, although I never knew why. This is a good insight into why. She starts talking about it around the 37:30 mark. Now, it's fair to say that Rose is not that guy at all anymore. We all make choices at one point in life that we wouldn't make later. Still, it's always good to beat a Russ Rose team. The 1990 Regional is still my favorite in-person sporting event of my life. Maybe that was karma for Russ' shenanigans a decade before. |

True…I don’t think Rose is a bad guy, but he certainly did some shady stuff decades ago. I’ve seen him at clinics and he is very congenial and open to helping young players and coaches. I also think most of the reason the Rose/Nebraska relationship has warmed up in the past decade is due to Cook being more open, and more successful in the past decade. Rose certainly has more championships but I think he sees the two programs more equal than he did prior to 2018. I also think it is also fair to say Rose and Cook have often found themselves agreeing on many many volleyball related issues or changes that need to be made only to discover most of the other B1G coaches were not in agreement. We’ll see how it goes. Imo, tomorrow is a huge match. . . and 1990 was fun. I remember very little about the Penn St match…, I just remember we played Pitt the night before and met a bunch of Pitt fans downtown after the match, a couple who I still know today. They were amazed we had so many fans at a volleyball match. |

Success and accomplishments are one hell of a balm to an anxious young person. |

She's saying that, according to Pettit, Russ tried to steal Terry's head coaching position by going to the admin behind Terry's back, because he felt was doing all the coaching work during practice. Of course, that's only one half of the story. I'd prefer to hear the other half before making judgements about that situation. But, even if we assume this is totally true, you make it sound as if it would have been a negative for Nebraska. In hindsight, I'm curious how many other Husker fans would have been unhappy with that change? |

But, even if we assume this is totally true, you make it sound as if it would have been a net negative for Nebraska. In hindsight, I'm curious how many other Husker fans would have been unhappy with that change? If Terry Pettit and Russ Rose parted on bad terms, that is unfortunate. In the end it worked out well for both schools and I doubt many Husker fans would want to trade Pettit for Rose any more than Penn State fans would want to trade Rose for Pettit.
There has been as they say a lot of water under the bridge since the late 70's. I for one am glad Russ Rose found success in State College and wish the best of luck to Russ and the Penn State players all but a couple times a year.

In hindsight, I'm curious how many other Husker fans would have been unhappy with that change? I totally understand what you're saying. And this is decades ago, and it's very clear Russ is not some bad guy now - at least, not any more than your rival's coach is a "bad guy."  I would have taken Russ Rose as Nebraska's coach these past 40 years. Duh - he's a hall-of-fame coach. I was more getting at the fact that, when I started following Husker Volleyball in the late 80s, Russ was the bad guy, and I never knew why. This sheds a lot of light on that, even if it is only one side of the story. |
