Volleyball Championship

I was in the arena with PSU fans. They were shocked at how we self destructed and said we were the better team just couldn't keep killing ourselves.

I know you were there and I told you I will be there in KC in 2025.

If Nebraska was ultimately the better team they would have won and I hate typing that.

We can agree to disagree and that is ok.

I'll take number 14 for the win, she's hot.

Sounds like they're fans we're being polite.

I think everybody was shocked that Nebraska self destructed after being up 2-0 and 22-16 in the 4th set. Nebraska was the better team in sets 1 & 2, Penn State was the better team in set 3, 4 and most importantly set 5.

Their fans were actually very nice. Penn St fans in general are jack wagons, but the experience at the VB game was awesome. Louisville fans were great, PSU fans were great, Pitt fans were just weird curmudgeon types and not very many of them.

It's ridiculous. She plays way over her head against us. Twice. And our team has no clue how to stop her despite the fact that they played against her in practice every day last year.

Fun fact: Jerevicious was the ONLY player who didn't get to play in the Memorial Stadium game last year. Cook just forgot about her. Let that sink in....

Actually both Caroline and Kennedi Orr didn't play in the stadium match.

Cook was about to put Caroline in and Jalen told him to save her redshirt, as her major will require 5 years.

As for the second match I don't think PSU was the better team, I think they wanted it more.

A redshirt should probably be discussed before a match, not during, and the player should not be expecting to play.

I hope we don't lose any transfers this year. If we do, look for that player or players to win a natty.
2022: Kayla Caffey and Keonilei Akana win the national title with Texas
2023: Akana wins the national title with Texas
2024: Caroline Jurevicius and Maggie Mendelson win the title with PSU

After all your poor posts over the last 15 months, you have made it to the ignore bin. Congratulations

This is a weird take.

 

[Zeke2005]

No, he did not tell me.

Then why did you say he forgot about her?

Had we kept those players do you think we would have won the championship those years?

I'm hardly the one with the most knowledge on this topic, but I'd say that neither Caffey or Akana had a huge role in Texas' nattys the last two years. I do think if Jurevicius was still on Nebaska's roster we'd have won this year because A) PSU wouldnt' have had her to go wild against us, and B) maybe she'd have been ready to step in when Beason started sucking 2nd half of the season. Maybe that's harsh.

PSU wins volleyball NC. Their wrestling team is going to win another NC. Football has a (long) shot at winning a third. This really sucks…

I think there might have been some confusion on that. I thought our game was an exhibition game. Do those count towards shirts 👕 🤔

It definitely shows up on the schedule on Huskers.com as a real game.

That’s nuts. Forgot about all those Texas transfers too.

Our biggest problem this year was Beason struggling during the last month. Jurevicius would have been her backup, so if she's on our side and not PSU, maybe?

Texas transfers were role players.

I think it’s fair to say as Merritt went so did the Huskers. It was nice to see Landfair contribute later in the season but it wasn’t what Beasons production.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

You a pedi fan or something? What about his post made you so angry to put him on ignore? A Penn State fan comes over here to chastise us for not accepting defeat and one of our fans sticks up for our team against him/her/them, and that angers you?

Pretty sure my post referenced a time frame and not a single post.

Are you just slow at reading comprehension, or are you actually slow at more?

Sorry you took it so bad.

I'm not sure the plan for opposite hitter next year. Is it Pierce? Landfair is back for another year at outside, and Murray will play six rotations. Setter is set. Libero will be either Choboy or Mauch with the other as the DS. And both Allick and Jackson are back in the middle.

At least I hope everybody listed is back.

I could see them bringing in a talented transfer (outside hitter). Sky Pierce looked really good in the spring game. Gotta be careful with her though. Don't want another Jurevicius situation. It'll be interesting.

You make a great point there….she wouldn’t have fueled PSU to beat us
