This is a garbage take. Do you have hobbies outside of your job? Cook needs and deserves an outlet. I assumed Nebraska fans would be more in tune with bettering mental health now after watching Harper’s downfall. Guess I was wrong As I said this is much much more than a hobby. I just want his total attention on volleyball. You’ve parted with reality. Cook puts as much time and energy into Nebraska volleyball as any coach in the country. If anything, having a secondary passion, outlet is a positive.

Cook had a periods of focusing on nothing but volleyball. It was not good for him or the program. He and the program are much better if he has an engrossing hobby, whether it's flying, horses etc.

Just to state the obvious, the lineup should be
S: Reilly OH: Murray OH: Krause OPP: Beason MB: Jackson MB: Allick L: Rodriguez DS: Choboy/Mauch for Krause (any 3 of whom can serve until that position is won)
Beason should be playing 6. Harper should be playing 6. Sub-in Landfair as needed when Krause/Murray are struggling. But don’t wait until it’s 23-15 because that is too late, obviously. If Beason is struggling, then I’d try moving Krause to the right as needed. Lexi will be fine. Jackson is a rockstar. Sub-in Blackwell for Allick as needed.

From what im gathering, I don’t think people want to see Blackwell altogether replace Allick. But at the end of the day it would be nice to see a different look at some point.

Also, Bergen is kind of a question mark. I really can’t put my finger on it, but something is a little off there. She’s great. She does so many things right has a fantastic all-around game. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know. But something feels a little off, imho. Not really sure what it is.

Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know. But something feels a little off, imho. Not really sure what it is. the coaches and Bergen have mentioned several times that they are trying to give her more decision making, running her own offense, and also that Bergen is the player to tell you the mistake she made before a coach brings it up. I wonder if it’s growing pains of her getting the reins, or the pressure to prove she can handle having the responsibility? Plus, it seems like the pins aren’t responding in the way she expects, which has to be throwing her for a loop whether that’s on her or the pins

I don't know what this is but I don't think anyone should acknowledge it.

Posting on behalf of my BF who’s a Nebraska fan but doesn’t have VT:
His takes:
“Beason and Rodriguez need to take a seat and chill down. Also getting sick of Bergen’s sameness game after game. She is veering dangerously close to Hames territory of predictability.
It’s about time for Orr to set with Krause at opposite (their connection was one of the few highlights of the 2022 campaign) and Landfair/Murry as outsides. Mauch at Libero and Chonoy/Boesinger as DSes.
Beason/Reilly/Rodriguez need to rest.
And for corn’s sake, let Jackson do her serve. Her serve is lights out the deepest on Nebraska’s roster.”
Let me reiterate that these are my partner’s opinions and not my own. Feel free to read him for filth though 😁

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. Juan sure does have a story. If only he told all of it!

Hypothetically, if a guy is sent to jail for failing to register as a sex offender, would there be any kind of mandate that he not be online talking about young girls? juancook any idea?
