Nebraska has quite the weekend!

The NU women are the new BIG 10 soccer champions! They have also earned a NCAA berth. The Huskers shutout the Iowa Hawkeyes 1-0.

The NU women's volleyball team won two matches this weekend. They beat Wisconsin and yesterday they beat No. 9 Minnesota at Minnesota 25-22, 15-25, 27-25, 15-25, and 15-11. No. 2 Penn State is leading the league by one game over Nebraska.

Of course by now you know that the NU football played great and beat Michigan 17-13 at Michigan. The NU defense played great. I think they must of watched the film as to how Michigan St. defended them. Same results. Michigan's offense is not very good right now. I am proud of the NU defense and how they have improved the past couple of weeks. Time for the Blackshirts again.

Tommy Armstrong really played well the last drive. Really well. He will be a good quarterback in the future. Abdullah is one of the best running backs in the nation. How about that block by Alonzo Moore when Kenny Bell caught the fourth and two pass on the final drive.

Injuries are hurting the offense. So far those hurt include Taylor Martinez, Spencer Long, Jamal Turner, Jeremiah Sirles, Jake Cotton, and others including Jake Long, Kenny Bell, and Wil Richards. Have the starters are hurt so we need to remember that.

The Big 10 is so physical. The last three years have had the Huskers really beat up by the end of the season. You need lots of depth to play in this league.

And then there was the NU women's BB team that annihilated the UCLA Bruins in the first real basketball game in the arena Friday at noon. They won hands down with Jordan Hooper having 27 points.

I attended the NU men's basketball game on Friday night. Oh my Gosh, what fun. Tommy Lee and the band entertained us with an awesome piece. Interesting idea to have the band on the BB floor. The lighting and sound systems were awesome. Karmin sang the National Anthem and it is fun to listen to such great talent.

I expected Nu to get beat or win in a close one but NU dominated them. Florida Gulf Coast was a disappointment. The NU team were great. Yse, a team that played so well together. They reminded me of the Princeton teams a few years ago that did well in the NCAA tournament. Well coached, playing defense, playing as a team, and getting all they can out of the talent. How refreshing.

Michigan State is this week in football and that should be very interesting.
