Excited to see John Holmes bang the leather through the uprights!

Whoops, I meant John Hohl! He nutted up for us during the OSU game, getting the threesome and a real long one. It's crazy he didn't even get a chance to put any 3rd leg into it during the UCLA game. Here's to that young stud getting the Hollywood call to perform and provide the happy ending we all are hoping for! Smokin😇🥳🤩💪☄️🍆

Volleyball VB Previews: Nebraska hosts Minnesota and Indiana amid 21-game win streak

Nebraska volleyball is an absolute wagon. Huskers (24-1 overall, 14-0 Big Ten) are ranked #2 in the Top 25 national rankings for the eighth week in a row amid their 21-game win streak during which they have won 17 of 21 via sweep and secured 63 of 69 set victories. Wins over currently ranked #5 Creighton and #8 Purdue both went the distance, and they won in four sets over Michigan and UCLA.

So, yeah, dominant run by the 'Skers. And now, they get to host another Top-25 matchup vs. #16 Minnesota tonight and host Indiana on Saturday.

Here are the previews for those two matchups including stats to know, players to watch and how to watch, stream and listen to the action:

Football Bold Predictions: Nebraska at USC

After a solid, strong first half of the season in Bold Predictions (really, 2/3 of the season over the first eight games), it's time for me to get back on track with my personal Boldy P's.

To quote Jon Bernthal in The Bear: "Let it rip, dude."

Football Four seniors named to East-West Shrine Bowl

Tommi Hill, Ty Robinson, Nash Hutmacher and Isaiah Neyor have all accepted invitations to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas in late January. Good opportunity for the four to boost their draft stock, Hill and Robinson are currently expected to be drafted, Hutmacher could sneak in as a late-round pick. Also possibly an indication that Neyor is moving on. He was/is waiting on a medical hardship waiver that could have given him another season.

Really good opportunity for Hill in particular, who had first round buzz before his injury. Has a chance, with a good week in Dallas, to earn some top-100 buzz at least. Think Robinson rises up some boards as more scouts get eyes on him.
