7 likes on Juan's sob story post. I bet that number goes down. Posts will get dirty-deleted. How do people read that and side with him after such an allegation? I'll let y'all get back to Nebraska volleyball but wtf? Because human beings are worthy of redemption, especially if they are being seemingly honest and forthcoming. Don’t do the moral superiority thing, if it comes out that it was all a lie then people can adjust, but I think being dismissive and judgy on principle is an AWFUL character flaw, maybe something to work on for you personally?

Anyways i watched the SMU game again and i honestly think the less that each pin tried going low seam would have made a hell of a difference offensively.
Obviously not the entire reason they lost but felt that was something I was definitely seeing a pattern of.

that is actually pretty effing gross. Absolutely disgusting, especially all the Nebraska fans here “standing with” a convicted child predator. By the way, all of this stuff is google-able. It's gross. This guy preyed on a 15-year-old girl and is now in here blaming her. The volleyball community has a bad enough track record supporting sexual predators who make lame excuses (whose @$$%*!* detector didn't go off when he said he was waving around a psychologist's paper saying he was "incapable" of doing the crime he was convicted of?). And yes, it was a long time ago and people should be forgiven, but based on that post he's apparently still victim-blaming instead of taking responsibility and growing from it. Stuff like this makes the news and you can gauge it against the alleged excuses - www.chicagotribune.com/2005/02/16/instructor-faces-porn-charges/ willcountysao.com/2019/01/man-gets-three-years-in-prison-for-possession-of-child-pornography/ right like it was 2005 and you expect us to believe she elaborately set him up?? Where’d that original picture he sent her come from??? Good riddance

Nebraska will likely be fine, but I am sure there are a few uneasy feelings that the coaching staff has. 1. They want to play Mauch, Choboy, and Lexi because all 3 are good. They probably were not expecting Mauch to be better than Choboy and have in the back of their heads if they don’t play her, she will transfer and if they don’t play Choboy, she will transfer. I am sure she was sold on the “come be a DS for 2 years, then the libero jersey is yours” story. The problem is that Mauch is better than her now. 2. They want to play Murray, Beason, Krause, and Landfair. The problem is Landfair just doesn’t look that good IMO and Beason is struggling. Murray is still very good, but even she doesn’t look as sharp out of the gate as she did last year. I question if they were expecting Krause to look significantly better than Landfair. There will be team chemistry issues because of this. 3. Bergen just simply doesn’t look impressive. She was impressive last year. 4. The bright side is that Andi looks unreal and Bekka looks much improved as well.

IMO you have served your obligations. None of your comments were of a sexual nature. I know a similar case. 18 yr old got his 14 yr old girlfriend pregnant. That was 20 yrs ago. He is a registered sex offender. Married now for 15 years to a woman his own age. They have 3 grade school children. Small town here, no one concerned about him around children. Yet a few just won't let it go. At this point it is hurting them more than him. that is actually pretty effing gross. Which part is gross? A mistake by a youth 20 yrs ago The fact he straighten his life out People won't let it go.

Ok, back on topic. Ya'll lost one match, it's not the end of the world. Nebraska is still my pick to win it all this year. Thanks, ay2013. Hoping we'll see them bounce back tonight.

This thread is going off the rails for a couple reasons, but sticking with volleyball here:
I can’t believe after one match people are seriously calling on Cook to bench one of the top Ls in the country……
She can’t take up the entire court in SR. Reilly will find her rhythm again. It was one match, they didn’t play well. But give credit where credit is due. SMU played out of their minds and Nebraska didn’t show up. Sh*t happens. Minnesota has lost way too many matches in the last couple of years they never should have (two of which I have blacked out in my mind)
This team will be just fine. I just hope everyone remembers that it’s not usually normal to only lose 1-2 games a season lol. I know that’s the expectation, but it’s not reality.

If your Coaching Nebraska..... What do you do right now? Lineup changes? Stick with it? Fundamentals at practice for 3 hours? bring back the 5 gallon puke buckets.

serious question-why did Nebraska slam the schedule? Game 5 tonight and technically the season started Friday (I understand they started last Tuesday). Has any other team even had 4 games?

I've wondered this too. When we played SMU someone pointed out that it was already our fourth game in like six days. That's a lot for anyone, especially with travel.

You want to be great at the end of season, not the beginning. Ask Texas last year.

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. Ik we have the personalities on the court to where she can be that relaxed, laid back player that doesn't show much emotion, but during this type of set back and recent game part of me just wonders if maybe she (along with every person on the roster) needs to step it up a notch being the setter aka QB of the team. I don't necessarily mean step up her play, but leadership, poise, within being the glue to the team. Just a thought, maybe that isnt an issue at all. I also am biased bc I grew up watching Orr play since 7th grade, I would've loved to see her get thrown in there during the 3rd set. Sometimes I think Cook has a favortism issue, and I see it with Reilly and did with Hames. And yes, that also could be completely wrong. However, setting is not the main issue, just some of my thoughts!

I also think this SMU loss will play a favor for us in the long run. IMO we don't (and never) have a very competitive non con schedule. (this yr outside of UK, Stan, UL, CU) I thought there was going to be a good chance of us going into b1g play undefeated, so losing might be a not so bad thing, but we will see. What is weird to me is I thought we looked pretty solid vs Kentucky, whereas watching Wisco, TX, Stanford, I thought those teams looked like they had more to figure out then we did. But then we go and get swept at SMU.. I just don't really know what the actual issues are

I've wonder why they are playing tonight instead of Friday/Saturday. Thankfully the next 6 games are at the Bob, and that should help.
