And outside of Texas players, I think Jill Gillen is the most fun player to watch in all of college volleyball. Not the best player, but the most fun. There's something about a 5'7 OH that jumps out of the gym and plays with so much fire that brings me a lot of joy. I know I'm not alone. jilly is an absolute rockstar...i want arkansas to win but i think kentucky can beat nebraska🤪🤯

Nebraska schadenfreude > love of Arkansas The biggest thing that's impressed me about this Nebraska team isn't their talent, which is prodigious, or how well their true freshmen are playing, which has been remarkable. It's how clutch they've been late in sets. They are so composed. I've seen them several times in situations that would wilt a lesser team and they just rise to the moment every time. I'd love to see them fall short at some point, but I think the best bet is to hope for something like that Wisconsin match where they simply get swept.

The weird thing is, I like all the Nebraska players. A lot. I think they are really impressive and play beautiful volleyball. I have Nebraska schadenfreude because some of the fan base annoys me. Not even all of them - just the extremist homer trolls (IYKYK). Which is definitely a minority of their fans, but somehow that is driving all of my dislike. I'm sure there's a psychological study here.

I'm sure there's a psychological study here. Oh, I just enjoy having teams I root against. Nebraska volleyball is always going to be one of those. They’re a chief rival in recruiting. The matches between the two programs are deep in the tournament and always meaningful. I think John Cook is a terrific coach who has built a monster, but I also think he’s a lying jerk. I actually really like the Nebraska fan base. A lot. I root against Nebraska inspite of how much I like their fans. That means it’s extra crushing when we lose against them and extra meaningful when we beat them, but that’s part of the fun, too.

Okay, so we're going to flop the first set (since I'm not going to be watching--have work) and then when I get off work in the second set that's where we're going to start dominating, right?

We're going to think they're a lot less magical after we've been to Barnhill in Fayettenam a few times. Texas fans who don't know are always surprised at how much they hate us. I mean, the hate is passed down through the generations. And it's not just football. It's everything. You'd think it would've died down by now, but nope.
