Nebraska volleyball sweeps weekend!

Nebraska volleyball had quite a weekend. On Friday they swept St. Louis in three rather easy sets at the Coliseum. Yesterday they played the No. 1 team in the nation, UCLA. Looked like another sweep by Nebraska and then UCLA won the next two and looked like they had it won. Nebraska rallied in the third set and ended up winning 15-13.

This is the second win against a No. 1 team in 10 months. Will Nebraska be No. 1 now?

Freshman Meghan Haggerty had 17 kills. Freshman Morgan Broekhaus had 15 kills and Gina Mancuso had 15 also.  Hannah Werth had 12 kills. Laura Cook had 22 digs and Lara Dystra had 20. Go Big Red!

Did you see where the sorority called Sigma Lambda Gamma at UNL got suspended. For what? Here are a few things that some woman complained about that let to the suspension.
Pledges were required:
1. Were required to wear all black in meetings.
2. Were blindfolded at meetings.
3. Were deprived of sleep because of late meetings and study times.
4. Were required to do calisthenics if they answered trivia pursuit questions incorrectly.
5. Faced personal restrictions, such as no elevator use or shorcuts.
6. Were not allowed to touch pink or purple, the sorority's colors.
7. Had to carry an egg at all times.
8. Had to bring a live fish to meetings.
9. Weren't allowed to smoke, drink, look at men or use social media.

This is just fun stuff!!!  If fraternities and sororities can't do things like this then what the heck. Don't send your daughter to the military or then she will see what life is all about. Just the beginning of the end of the special time kids can have a college.  How long did she have to do the above for like two weeks?

I think we will see Tommy Armstrong redshirt this spring reading between the lines. He must not be in position right now to be the No. 2 quarterback.

FOOTBALL NEWS
Auburn defensive back transfer Jonathan Rose has been cleared by the NCAA to play football at Nebraska.

Freshman Alonzo Moore has switched from defensive back to wide receiver.

Head Coach Bo Pelini has said freshmen that defensive end Avery Moss, defensive tackle Aaron Curry, running back Imani Cross,  and fullback Andy Janovich will all see action early on the field.

Junior Mike Marrow looks to be the starter at fullback.

Justin Jackson will be the strarting center for the first game over Cole Pensick.

I am excited to see Jordan Westerkamp on the field as wide receiver. He is a true freshman.

Nebraska is making a name for itself in Alabama by recruiting Ameer Abdulah a couple of years ago and now Jonathan Cook and Jonathan Rose.
