Got got our punter

Has anyone spotted one of these drones? Several reported flying over Kearney, Axtell, Broken Bow, Orleans, Alma....seems too coincidental to be some turd’s new Christmas toy but weird the source has yet to be identified...starting to feel like some Art Bell/George Noory level s**t here

Via Nebraska Athletics:

Nebraska senior libero Lexi Rodriguez has been named one of four finalists for the AVCA National Player of the Year Award, which will be presented on Friday at the AVCA All-America awards banquet.

Last week, Rodriguez became the first ever libero to be named AVCA Region Player of the Year. She is a three-time Big Ten Defensive Player and Libero of the Year and will look to become the third player in program history to be selected as a four-time All-American when the postseason honors come out on Wednesday.

A four-year starter and three-year team captain, Rodriguez has climbed to No. 2 in school history in career digs with 1,882, needing just nine more to break Justine Wong-Orantes' school record of 1,890.

Rodriguez is one of five Huskers in school history to earn first-team all-conference honors four times in a career, and she is only the second player in Big Ten history to earn three Big Ten Defensive Player/Libero of the Year honors (Paula Gentil, Minnesota, 2002-04).

This season, Rodriguez leads the Huskers with 3.91 digs per set as the team has climbed to No. 4 nationally in opponent hitting percentage on the season (.139). NU led the nation in opponent hitting percentage in both 2022 and 2023. Rodriguez was named to the NCAA Lincoln Regional All-Tournament Team on Sunday after leading the Huskers to two more dominant defensive outings. Nebraska is holding its opponents in the NCAA Tournament to a combined .066 hitting percentage, the best mark of any team.

Rodriguez and the Huskers will face No. 2 Penn State on Thursday night in the NCAA Semifinals on ESPN. The match will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first semifinal between No. 1 Pittsburgh and No. 4 Louisville at 5:30 p.m. (CT).

Currently looking like a moderate chance for showers in the morning, with a high of 53 degrees and 7 mph winds. We couldn't ask for much better in late December.

Foolish club access any info would be greatly appreciated.

JFC…

Wisconsin be our lil biotch!

Speaking of people putting a lot of importance on sports….

Would you rather your kid be President of the US or in the football hall of fame?

Curious of anybody’s made the switch from a service like DIRECTV to YouTube TV? If so, would you mind sharing your thoughts?

Pros?

Cons?

Thanks in advance.

Nebraska Lincoln needs to elevate its club hockey team to a varsity sport.

With NIL, NU can definitely attract talent. Have them play at The Bank, it sits vacant so much.

Just saw a Mavs hockey game. My takeaway was "Oh cmon!!!"

Where is everyone staying?

I have a room near Power/Light right now but no idea if that is good or bad. FWIW - I'm a little old.

Again.

Why?

Looking for two to take my wife for her birthday, actually her idea.

Wanted to see if anyone here was selling their season tickets before paying fee's on 3rd party sites.
1/30, it's a Thursday night and probably cold as it gets. Anyone able to help me out?

I liked it. Not a ton of action the premise was interesting and the ending was fairly unique. With Teron Egerton (The Kingsmen) and Jason Bateman as the bad guy. Good story for once in a new movie and makes you wonder what would you do.

It's officially official.

Nebraska's 2025 season-opener against Cincinnati has been moved from Indianapolis to Kansas City.

Here's the press release from NU:

>> Nebraska will open its 2025 football season in one of the most recognizable stadiums in the United States, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Nebraska, Cincinnati and the Kansas City Chiefs announced the venue change for the 2025 opener on Monday, with the Huskers and Bearcats now scheduled to meet in Kansas City on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025. The kickoff time and television network will be determined during the Big 12’s television selection process in the spring.

The NU-Cincinnati contest is the Bearcats’ home game and was originally set for the UC campus. It was subsequently moved to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis before the most recent location change to Kansas City.

Nebraska and Cincinnati also announced they have changed the date of a previously scheduled matchup at Memorial Stadium. The teams will now meet in Lincoln on Sept. 10, 2033, after previously being scheduled to play in the 2032 season.

Nebraska Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said the move of the game to Kansas City is a perfect fit for the Huskers’ season opener.

“We are pleased to partner with the University of Cincinnati and the Kansas City Chiefs to bring our 2025 season-opening matchup to Arrowhead Stadium,” Dannen said. “Since arriving at Nebraska, one constant message I have heard from our fans is they miss having road football games that are within driving distance. This game offers an excellent opportunity for our great fan base to make a short trip to watch the Huskers open the season and enjoy Labor Day weekend in Kansas City.”

Arrowhead Stadium has been considered one of the top stadiums in the National Football League for many years and its capacity of 76,416 is one of the largest in the league. Arrowhead has hosted numerous college football games, including four Big 12 Championship games. Nebraska last played at Arrowhead in the 2006 Big 12 Championship Game against Oklahoma and played a regular-season game against Oklahoma State in Kansas City in 1998.

Tickets for the Nebraska-Cincinnati contest will go on sale this week. All tickets will be sold online at www.chiefs.com/tickets/ and www.ticketmaster.com. No tickets will be sold through the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office.

Nebraska and Cincinnati season ticket holders will receive the first opportunity to purchase tickets, beginning on Tuesday, at 9 a.m. A public on-sale for tickets will begin on Wednesday at 10 a.m. More details on ticket information will be communicated to Nebraska season ticket holders today in advance of the Tuesday pre-sale.

Anyone know how BC is doing with portal entries?

Last two years the threads I started with guys we both landed. Willis Mcgahee Jr and Christian Jones. Let's go 3 for 3 with the GPOTY from SD.

I'm not even a bears fan the Bears are making a huge mistake by drafting Williams at #1. Williams is going to be the biggest bust in NFL history. Williams will be a locker room cancer he is not a team player. The Bears should of taken Harrison at #1and should of kept Fields.

When was the last time a P5 Player was declared Academically Ineligible to play? Anywhere?

With NIL recruiting and the booster provided “bag full of money” how do Coaches even require them to attend classes?

The NCAA doesn’t appear to have any real teeth.

Didn’t think a Thursday game was possible. Oh well.
