So excited for this. Assuming the score isn't tight, I hope Cook subs in every player (and that is the only time I will say that this season).

Cook has been clear that all 14 players on this roster “can play” and he claims the tight scores in the Red-White scrimmage verified that. if he wants to prove that, he should start the Red team in the first set and then the White team in the second set. And then in set three play they players he did this weekend. This is more than a match, it’s an event and ever Nebraska player should play-and every Nebraska player should start a set. They are playing a overmatched Omaha team… |

Shame Creighton is not going to be there. Any serious NCAA vball program (not saying Omaha isn't serious, but they'll have to win their conference to make the tournament) would have to be nuts to agree to play Nebraska under these circumstances. |

Weirdness and randomness makes an upset more likely. That means (according to this week’s AVCA rankings) it would be a benefit to every team other than Wisconsin, Stanford and Louisville. |

I can think of 50,000 reasons. But yes, it’s not going to provide much benefit long term on the court. Off the court you could chalk it up to learning to play outside your comfort zone and building mental focus, etc etc |

more than likely to NOT happen, but could you imagine if this ended in a 5 set upset? truly historic.

For those interested in the UNK/WSC game:
PBS.org might default to your local station.
Click on the Station logo at the top of the site.
You should see a gear icon and "Change your local station"
Near the bottom of the next screen should be a "More Stations" button.
The zip code will be 68588.
For those with streaming devices, see if the PBS app is available. I know there are ones for Android, Apple and Roku. To change your station on these look for a icon that looks like a map drop pin.
You'll probably still need a VPN

Good article from ESPN. A bit of a tough read for folks whose families have been touched by cancer. How Nebraska volleyball plans to pack Memorial StadiumFOR GENERATIONS, NEBRASKANS have boasted that on football Saturdays, Memorial Stadium becomes the third-largest city in the state. On Wednesday, the place will become volleyball city. More than 91,000 people are expected to fill the stadium to watch two matches, potentially setting a record for the most-attended women's sporting event in the world. The record, 91,648, was set in March 2022 at a UEFA Women's Champions League match in Barcelona. The event is so momentous that Nebraska's chancellor canceled school for the day and the board of regents gave the OK to sell beer. (Alcoholic beverages are not allowed at football games.) "I don't know how to properly define just how big this is," Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said last week. "Unless [the football team is] undefeated when we play Michigan in Week 5, I don't know of anything that's going to be bigger." |
