VB Semifinal: HUSKERS WIN!
- Thread starter schuele
- Start date
im still trying to figure out that ******** set 2 overrule
Totally get you… After seeing them lose the lead in the third set and then have a lead in the fourth that only to drop down to matchpoint Down, it’s almost too hard for me to watch.
They should have won in 4, but they rolled in the 5th. 4 or 5 (I lost count) of PSU’s 11 points were service errors.
Especially in person...they are way more athletic than Stanford right now!!
They’ve got a couple players who look like you could throw a fade pattern TD to.
Even if the ladies should lose their next match, They are Champions already. Rock On Huskers. Hope that you win it all.
They were fantastic tonight.
Tough match.
More than tough to beat Penn State away from home twice in a season.

To be the best, you have to beat the best. This is good for the ladies.
Stanford clawing back from a 2-0 deficit to make it 2-1. This reminds me of the Bird/Johnson Celtics/Lakers playoff games. Florida had a lot of flash and athleticism, and Stanford has very tight fundamentals.
We took Florida to 5 sets on their home court when Kelly Hunter was out with an injury. Plus, we pretty much have a home-court advantage in KC. I like our chances.
I don't really understand volleyball rules, but after watching Florida, how many men are allowed per team?
I got to say after the emotional roller coaster I watched last night how impressed I am with Coach Cook and his entire team. I was screaming, my wife was like "calm down!". After they lost the 3 set, I thought they would just fold. It was hard to lose sets 2 and 3 so closely. Then they go down like 6-1 or something in set 4. I'm like "that's it, stick a fork in 'em, they are done". Then they go to set 5 and neither my wife or I realized it only goes to 15? We were saying "what does 4 match points mean?" in between "why does that one girl have on a different color top?".
Think I might go to a few games next year. Not sure I can handle this kind of game though. Very emotionally intense

What can I say? Never had sisters or daughters and my wife is from England. We've never watched VB
Not that I would endorse such actions but the “Boston Celtics treatment” at their hotel at about 3 am on Saturday morning might be helpful.
That should have been for the NC. Definitely the best teams. Now let's beat Florida and revenge the loss

I met my wife at Hastings College. She was on the volleyball team and is from Meeteetse, Wyoming.
She doesn't pay much attention to the Huskers volleyball team unless I am watching it.
We watched it on my phone at a meeting last night and got home and finished watching the 4th and 5th sets.
When the Huskers messed up, she would scream and yell at the girls and say, "Come on ladies!"
So I found it weird when we scored the final point to win that she sat there completely emotionless while I danced around the livingroom.
This morning I showed my twins what their mother did when the Huskers won (sat there emotionless). She my wife started dancing around in front of my girls and told them, "This is what dad did! He danced enough for both of us!"
I think I better plan a trip to Lincoln next year to take her to a vlleyball game since she just loves volleyball. Maybe that will get her to be more excited for the Huskers in the future...
Dont be to hard on her she isn't from Nebraska
Its ok to dance, shout, and be happy. Its a Husker thing!What you describe when it comes to comebacks etc is having team leadership among the players. This team has it in spades with Kelly Hunter and Michaela Foeke. They even have it on the bench in one Allie Havers. Those three never let anyone get to far down. They do not let anyone give up. They are LEADERS. It is what almost every sport team needs.I got to say after the emotional roller coaster I watched last night how impressed I am with Coach Cook and his entire team.

This board is mostly about football. The Husker football team lacks any type of leadership. The closest thing to a leader this last football team had was on defense in Luke Gifford and look what happened when he was injured and no longer playing! On offense the leader is usually the QB, however that is not Tanner Lee except for by example. There needs to be an OLman step up and take that role also. Pretty sure from indications that was one of Cavanaugh's biggest downfalls is he really did not let anyone take that role. Decker was the closest and he went down to injury!
Leadership alone this past season wins us at least 3 more games and possibly four. I know for a fact that Frost is already aware of this problem and trying to take steps to remedy the problem. I think with the personnel he has that can happen!
I watched every point last night. After set 3 when we were down 2-1 I was thinking, " Hay a few point's and we're back in this". BOOM. Set 4 was awesome. When PSt blew match point. I thought. This is ours. I had almost quit biting my fingernails, which I have done for 50+ years. Well guess what. I have about 6 nails that don't look good today(remember, I lost 1 finger last year).
Gongrats to the lady HUSKERS. Bring it Saturday night.

Penn State never beat a team with Kelly Hunter on it, and look how it finished. Awesome job ladies.
Kelly Hunter showed why she is an all-american! She was able to set some poorly passed balls very well and her getting the final point, flat out, freaking awesome! Now, go win one more.
Yeah one year I went to watch the VB team play Colorado in Boulder, and it was the one and only match they lost the entire season. After that I figured I should stick to TV.
