Cook said in the post-match presser that ESPN was in the locker room tonight.
Hinting at a Part II of the documentary?

I'll disagree with Coach Cook about having a bugler open matches.
The Husker Marching Band Drumline used to open matches with an absolute bang. Not sure why that stopped, but it needs to start again.

Cook, during the post-match presser, talking about his rotation, giving the OH's a rest, and our littles, "These guys are good, but they can't do what Laney can do." And the reaction. Priceless.   |

Close, but Nebraska needs to have Molly the Piccolo player and the Husker Fife and Drum corps leading the student section down 14th Street to Devaney on match day.  |

Laney with another batch of highlight reel saves against Kentucky tonight. She is a beast back there. You can't teach that level of effort. I'm still laughing at when she took Cook out on the sideline last season. He didn't think it was too funny getting blasted by the little dynamo. His ribs were sore for a week.

Thoughts on match 1? Still noticed some setting location or connection issue with the pins at times. Generally impressed with the defense. Allick understood the assignment. It was good for a first game with 2 weeks of practice. Obviously a lot to work on, which is a good thing--lots of room for improvement. Wisconsin/Louisville didn't set the world on fire in their match either. About what's to be expected. B+ for me. |

Beason is become one of my favorites strictly due to how much the team looks up to her and respects her.

I thought Harper Murray looked real good playing at the net yesterday. 😳 she's legit.
Hoping Krause or Landfair can get there. We need another terminal pin.

I suffer from anxiety. I suffer from major depression. I am an alcoholic. So having the experiences I've had in life with all three of the aforementioned illnesses, I can sympathize with Harper and what she is going through. I didn't lose my father at the age of 5 years old. I didn't grow up in the spotlight in a town that admired my father. I didn't get recruited to play at Nebraska. I didn't play for a National Championship and suffer a heartbreaking loss like she and the rest of Nebraska did. But I have 2 DUI's. I've lost friends because of my alcoholism. I lost jobs early in life because of my alcoholism and depression. I lost a marriage because of it all and I've suffered so much to not want to see anyone and just disappear from existence. But I have gone through things in life that mirror what Harper is currently going through right now. I've been to rehab. I've been on various medications to curb the anxiety and depression. I've had multiple "Come to Jesus" moments. And I've had traumatic experiences in life that have sent me into a bad downward spiral that took me ages to recover from. The most important thing I've realized through all of it is that compassion is a rare thing between human beings. Especially in the day and age of the internet and "keyboard warrior" tactics. I've watched this board and the news on Harper from afar. I haven't really said anything about it on here for a few reasons: I'm not really active on here (mostly because of my illness and the state I've been in for the better part of this year), there are so many of you who've commented already on it, and there are so many villainous and spiteful posters on here who were quick to cast the first stone at Harper. I've come to the realization that you can't convince people to change what they believe and think about specific individuals. People are going to believe what they want to believe, and you/I can't have any control over that. Especially when it comes to rabid fanbases and the sheer disdain that so many have for Nebraska, Texas, Wisconsin and the list goes on. Harper is going through a lot right now. Imagine falling out of love with something that you love so much. Harper is going through that right now with volleyball. Will she recover from it? I really don't know. From personal experience, I can say that it's really difficult to recover from something as traumatic as what she has gone through. I really do hope she recovers from it for her own sake - regardless of who she plays for. Anxiety and depression are illnesses. People are sick from it. I'm sick from it. And I can guarantee that Harper is sick from it. I for one support Harper immensely in what she is going through. I also support her in her recovery, and support the people who've supported her thus far. John Cook and others have publicly supported her in her recovery and I applaud them for that. I just cannot imagine what her family is going through right now. Being a parent myself, I cannot imagine what Harper's mother is going through right now knowing that complete strangers have vilified her daughter online with hateful comments, judgement, and disdain. This includes VolleyTalk. If this was happening to my son or daughter, I know that I would be devastated and feel helpless. I just hope that those "haters" will move on from it and have a little more understanding for someone like Harper and what she is going through right now. All things aside with volleyball and who she plays for, this is first and foremost a human being. Personally, I commend Harper and her family for putting her story out there in the public eye for people to see. It makes her very vulnerable, but also very brave for allowing ESPN to document her story in a way so that people can see what she has been going through. Juan, Thanks for sharing your story. My family has been touched by depression and anxiety many times. It sucks. A lot. I wish you all the best on your road to sobriety and recovery from your depression and anxiety. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. |
