Hopefully, one day soon the Coliseum will have the atmosphere of a Nebraska women’s volleyball game. The Cornhuskers set a world attendance record for a women’s sporting event (92,003) tonight. Can't help but get emotional listening to @HuskerVB head coach @jcook2 talk about what this game means for the state of Nebraska. 🥲 pic.twitter.com/4a8FBoj208 — Big Ten Volleyball (@B1GVolleyball) August 31, 2023 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Nebraska has … Continue reading Night Notes: The Big Ten Awaits

The margins are really, really thin between a lot of guys. “If I start going down the names of guys I’ve had play reps on the … Continue reading Raleek Brown On Scout Team

I don’t really disagree with Fox analyst Joel Klatt’s analysis of the USC defense. But here’s the thing: If you read this blog, you know I always zeroed in on the secondary first and Klatt doesn’t even mention them below. That’s a convenient omission especially when Fox is always striving to be USC friendly with its cozy relationship and stable of lackeys (Colin Cowherd). “The … Continue reading USC Notes: A Friendly Analysis Of The Defense
