I think it is naive to not think that all Husker sports are not affected by the football loss, Frost firing, and the unknowns that are now floating around. So many of the girls have boyfriends and friends on the football team and I am sure they have had/heard lots of conversations about disappointment and change. Cook was good friends with Scott, and Jalen interacts with the football staff. The situation has bothered me a lot this week and it has nothing to do with my life, except on gameday. Nebraska football made Scott a multimillionaire and I am very happy that Mickey is getting a chance. I still feel lousy. This is a great point. Did not even think about that. I sensed something was weighing on their minds and this totally could be it. is this satire

Did anyone think to consider how the Queen’s death may have played a role in distracting the players?

Rewatched this match again last night and I certainly noticed something was off from everyone. Knuckles certainly seemed off, but candidly so did everyone else including the coaching staff. Jaylen seemed overly stressed and not himself as well. It seemed like there was a distraction or a situation that they were dealing with from the start. (obviously things were not going their way) Either way, sometimes that's volleyball, it's over with now and hopefully they move past whatever that was this weekend.

Nebraska football made Scott a multimillionaire and I am very happy that Mickey is getting a chance. I still feel lousy. These ladies have been high level athletes for a long time, and they've had to balance personal life, other activities, and school throughout. Give them some credit, they are not some rah rah squad that lives and dies by the performance of the football team.

Most Players at the top D1 volleyball schools are the top of the heap at focus, handling stress, prioritizing, compartmentalizing, etc. Not only are they at the top of players at these skills and abilities, but IMO most are significantly better performing under stress than most fans can imagine. Let's not demean the players.

Several points: 1) At this point in the season NE is NOT the 2nd best team in the nation, 2) Doesn't foretell how their season will go, NE often gets better as the season progresses and peaks during the NCAA tournament 3) Knuckles does seem to be in a slump, lots of conjecture why, maybe just variance and regression, who knows, she'll be back 4) IMO the whole team performed similarly to their performances vs Creighton and LBS, the difference, Stanford was a better team than Creighton or LBS. Still they came close even though injury forced a major change at setter mid-match. 5) The longer sets resulted in NE running short of subs, if they continue the 6-2 this will be a re-occurring issue in the B1G. 6) IMO the setter position is the immediate determinor of early and long term performance of this team. The rest will grow and get better, but a solid setter is critical. Pulling for Orr to step up. #6 YES YES YES!

Let's not demean the players. You, and a few others on here, are the ones that demean players by claiming that they are female sports robots immune to the events around them, and that there is no chance that they affected by things that might affect a human in that situation. Meghan Miller, Kenzie, Lexi Sun, Jhenna Gabriel, Leketor MM, and countless others would tell you that the myth that you are bent on propagating is false and harmful to players struggling with the stress/feelings and thinking that it is just them. My response to a VTer posting that some coaches and players seemed to not be themselves just pointed out that it could be the palpable negative mood caused by the whole situation with football, and here comes a whole bunch of other VTers who claim that they know with 100% certainty that none of the players were affected, and to imply that they might be human is demeaning and sexist. If you are a hater, I get that you want to believe that that was the Huskers at their best. If you are a Husker fan, I do not see why you would deny the reality of college life and Husker nation to push the superwomen/ VB girls are secretly so happy about anything that hurts other sports and gives them more attention narrative. If you haven't noticed, none of the players play the same from match to match. They are humans, not robots.
