The annual Red/White NU volleyball game starts at 7:00 on August 18, 2012 at the Coliseum. Nebraska will have lauren Cook, Gina Mancuso, Morgan Broekhuis, Hayley Thramer, and Hannah Werth to anchor their team.
Nebraska plays in two three team round robin tournaments early at the Coliseum. They play St. Louis on August 24th at 7 and UCLA on Saturday, the 25th at 7. Then on Sunday they play in Omaha at the CenturyLink Center at 1:30 against Notre Dame. UCLA was very strong in the NCAA tournament last year and St. Louis will be a highly rated team this season. In addition to NU's games UCLA plays Notre Dame on friday afternoon at 4:30 and then on the 25th Notre Dame plays St. Louis at 3:30.
Then on Thursday, September 6th, NU plays Oklahoma at 7, on the 7th they play Duquesne at 6, and then on Saturday they play Kentucky at 1:30. There is also games between the other teams those three days. All of these games are at the Coliseum also.
Penn St. looks like the top team in the nation to start with. One poll has NU rated 3rd. Stanford, Texas, Washington, Illinois, Minnesota, St. Louis, California, and Hawaii all look very good this year.
The women's basketball team returns the nucleus of their team in 2012-2013. Back are Emily Cady, Jordan Hooper, and Lindsey Moore. NU should be good again this year. They have three freshment coming in with two from Nebraska. Courtney Aiken is a 5'9" guard from Centura, Sadie Murren is a 5'*' guard from Wahoo, and Rachel Theriot is a 6 foot guard from Middleburg, Ohio. It will be interesting to see who steps up and starts the other two positions.
Four-star commit Ross Douglas is commited to Penn State but visited NU on Friday. He is rated No. 15th as the overall player in Ohio. Will there be others from Penn State visit after their penalties handed to them today by the NCAA.
I like Class B football a lot probalby because that is the class that Holdrege plays. Many think that the district with Gretna, Elkhorn, and Elkhorn South will be the toughest district. However I have to go with the B-5 district which has Crete. Crete has had five state finalists and four state champions since 2000. They are led by Colton Steer (cool name) who is a 215 pound running back.
Beatrice is also in the district and has a bunch of good seniors on the team. Zach Decker is moving to QB from the wide receiver position. They have a stable of running backs including Chance Baumann and Jessup Workman.
Seward is much improved. They return eight players on defense. Watch for Trey Barnes at linebacker.
Even a better Norris team will have an upset or two this year. So you could see an Elkhorn-Crete matchup in the east finals and they might play at team like McCook in the finals. Or if it works out again Crete may represent the West and then play Elkhorn in the finals. There will be some great games in Class B this year.

Braylon Heard moves position!
Braylon Heard is moving back to running back. That may be a good sign that they feel good that we have some good talent at cornerback. With Aaron Green gone to TCU this should be a boost at running back.

Latest in Sports!
Thomas Brown, a 2012 Husker football signee, is yet to qualify academically. He is the last recruit yet to report for football. Brown is a linebacker and did not pass his ACT test score. He is taking summer school classes to get qualified.
Nebraska secured junior college pitcher Josh Roder to fill a void as a relief pitcher for the Husker baseball team. With Travis Huber leaving the Huskers, this is a big pickup. Roeder had a 2.06 ERA for Louisburg College of North Carolina last year.
Husker baseball also had a huge pickup when they got Jakson Reetz as a 2014 commit. Reetz is ranked No. 21 nationally and No. 1 in Nebraska. Let's hope he doesn't go to the majors first. Reetz was pursued by Stanford, Arkansas, and Vanderbilt. Reetz could pitch, play catcher, ot play the outfield. His coach at Norris High School says he has high character and should fit nicely with Darin Erstad's style of play.
NU basketball has offered point guard Ikenna Iroegbu for the 2013 class. NU has also offered R.J. Curington from the same school. Oak Hill (Va.) High School went 44-0 last year. Iroegbu is 6' 2" and has present offers from Missouri, Oklahoma St., USC, Washington St., and Colorado.
Lately Creighton has taken three players in their 2013 class that NU had offered. It will be interesting to see who we can sign when it is all done.
NU has also offered a forward from Ohio. He is Vitto Brown and he is 6'8" and 225 lbs. Brown's offers include K-State, Wisconsin, Iowa State, and Minnesota. He wants to play in the Big 10 or Big 12. He averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds as a junior last year for his Bowling Green team.
John Bishop joins KOZN and "Unsportmanlike Conduct" and will co-host with Mile'L Severe. He takes over for Matt Schick who is going to ESPNU. Schick had the job like for two weeks when Kevin Kugler left. Bishop is very candid and it should be a great show.
Also Gary Sharp is coming back to Nebraska to serve as KOZN's sports director and will join Jason Peter for the morning show. Should be interesting. Sharp is also one to speak his mind.
D.J. Foster is a 6'3" 295 lb. offensive lineman from Lincoln Southeast. He will be in the 2014 class. He was just named Rivals Underclassman Challenge offensive player MVP. His brother Trey is a walkon at NU. This would be a great catch if NU can snag him.
Former Temple commit Josh Brown has decommited and NU is after him. He is a point guard out of Newark, N. J. He presently ranks 142 on the Rivals Top 150 list. He would be a 2013 recruit. Brown has offers from a number of top schools in the nation including Indiana and Illinois.
Rivals Mike Farrell has this to say about Johnny Stanton at the Elite 11 quarterback camp, NU's 2013
recruit at quarterback. "Stanton is a big, physical kid with a strong enough arm and he can deliver it in the intermediate passing game. His footwork is iffy and his long throw is erratic, but he also made some really nice throws. He is one of the more intriguing prospects out there."
Nick Fuller is 6'7" and can shoot the ball. He plays for a Wisconsin AAU team. Minnesota's Tubby Smith is after Fuller but so is Nebraska. Looks like Fuller will visit both Minnesota and Nebraska in Minnesota.

What's new!
California star quarterback Johnny Stanton committed to Nebraska. His top other offers included Oregon, Wisconsin, and Stanford. Last year he threw for 2,439 yards and 13 touchdowns and ran for 1,528 yards and 25 touchdowns. Stanton was among 25 quarterbacks selected to the Elite 11 camp. Stanton is 6'2" and 220 lbs!!
Taylor Matinez has been working with Los Angeles-area quarterback coach Steve Calhoun. Calhoun says Martinez's passing percentage will go up. "Because there'll be more balance at the top of the throw. He's going to be balanced. When you have balance , it translates into accuracy".
Kevin Kugler is leaving KOZN 1620 am in Omaha to be a play-by-play announcer for the Big Ten Network. Great promotion for Kugler but will miss him in the weekday afternoons, especially during football season. Kugler will continue to do the "Big Red Wrap-up" during the football season. He also will do NFL games, the College World Series, NCAA basketball, and men's basketball at the Summer Olympics.
Matt Schick, who years ago was at NTV, will replace Kugler on The Zone (KOZN).
NU basketball has interest in guard Joseph Chealey from Florida. He will be a 2013 prospect. Recently Chealey has received interest from colleges all over the nation. He prides himself in playing great defense.
The NU basketball team is also interested in two rising point guards from Texas. They are 2014 Crosby, Texas Brandon Etienne and 2015 Garland, Texas combo guard Peter Shortino.
Nebraska Class B football should be interesting this fall. Crete is rebuilding but looks like the best of the bunch. McCook could make it from the west. Elkhorn South may be a factor before it is over. Defending champion Elkhorn has one starter back.
In C-1 Norfolk Catholic, who has won 38 out of the last 39 games, has won the state title the past two years. They return QB Jordan Bellar. Other challengers will be Pierce, Wahoo, and Adams Central.
C-2 looks like Aquinas will repeat as champions.
D-1 looks to Elgin/Pope John as the favorite. Howells moves up to D-1 this year along with Bloomfield. Add Sargent D-2's champion last year and this should be a fight to the end.
Gilter is favored in D-2.
Blue Ribbon Yearbook predicts NU to finish third in the Big Ten Legends division behind Michigan and Michigan St. They pick Oklahoma to beat out West Virginia in the Big 12.
All Big-10 is Rex Burkhead at running back and Brett Maher at punter and kicker. Mohammed Seisay is predicted to be the newcomer of the year.
It sad how it has developed that Penn St. did cover up the Jerry Sandusky crimes.
Congrats to John Hurley for qualifying for the PGA event at the John Deere Classic. It will be fun to follow him.

Ray Gallegos will be back playing with NU this year after redshirting his junior year. He will either play shooting guard or point guard. Gallegos is stronger and quicker and is glad he redshirted. He is 6'2" and 176 lbs. Coach Miles says,"I think he scores the ball. He's a good athlete, and he seems to defensive rebound pretty well, too, for a guard. At the end of the day, he's a guard that, in practices, has scored better than just about anybody else."
The Nebraska basketball team has been working hard on their offense spending entire workouts shooting, screening, and doing offfensive drills.
Baker Steinkuhler is getting ready for his senior year with the Nebraska football team. He is huge at 6'6" and 290 lbs. With Suh and Crick both now gone, Baker is the man in the middle of the defense.

Jordan Larson is headed to her first Olympic Games as a member of the United States women’s volleyball team. The three-time All-American at Nebraska from the small town of Hooper was named to the 12-team roster on Tuesday evening.
Larson joins former Huskers Lori Endicott (1992 and ’96), Allison Weston (2000) and Nancy Metcalf (’04) in making the Olympic team. Metcalf tried out for this year's team but did not make the final cut. He is listed as a replacement player.
Sports Update!
Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis and defensive end Jason Ankrah both graduated from North Potomac, Marland Quince Orchard High School. This week Nebraska picked up a commit from Marcus Newby who plays at the same school. He is a 6' 1" linebacker and he is rated a four star by rivals.com. Newby has had a lot of offers but it got down to Penn St. and Nebraska. This gives Nebraska three commits at linebacker for 2013.
NU basketball is after 6'5" R.J. Curlington out of Virginia. He plans to visit NU in the fall. He is a shooting guard and his stock is rising. He has offers from Maryland, Stanford, Florida St and many others. He is noted for his team play, shooting ability and strong defense.
The Cubs have won four in a row. Samardzija had 11 strikeouts as they beat Atlanta 4-1 last night. Rizzo has been with the Cubs one week and looks like the real deal.
Fan Day for the Nebraska football team is August 3rd from 2-3:30.
KC Royals knocked off Toronto last night 11-3. Teaford pitched well for his first victory after being called up from Omaha and Moustakas hit his first ever grand slam. The Royals are 5.5 games out right now.

The latest in Sports and some cathin up!
Our guest writer wrote in the comment section last week the following about Tiger Woods, "I think Tiger will surpass Jack Nicklaus in major victories, unfortunately. He is starting to come around as of late, and I think it's only a matter of time before he wins a major. Possibly the British or the PGA Championship. If not, 2012 will bring him at least one. I used to watch all 4 rounds of every tournament he played growing up, rooting as hard as humanly possible for him. With the unfortunate scandal he created and went through, I find myself rooting for guys with more normal names, like Bubba.
Well Tiger did win and you can bet that he will win more majors. He played like the Tiger of "Old" today.
Nebraska will play some Heisman Trophy candidates this fall. Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson comes to Lincoln in October. He is rated No. 2 as a potential winner of the award.
Wisconsin running back Montee Ball is rated No. 4. Ball killed Nebraska last year. Wisconsin plays in Lincoln also this year.
Rated No. 8 is our own Rex Burkhead. A lot of the nation's fans don't know rex but Nebraska fans do.
Ohio State's quarterback Braxton Miller is rated No. 13. He gave NU a very tough time last year.
Arkansas State quarterback Ryan Aplin, believe it or not, is rated No. 21. He was the 2011 Sun Belt Player of the Year. Arkansas State may be one of our most competitive games in 2012.
NU quarterback taylor Martinez is listed in the group of "the best of the rest".
Mark Watton is the new Waverly boys basketball coach. He was the Lincoln Journal's Co-coach of the year in 1998 when Wahoo won C-1. Watton will continue to teach in Wahoo but will head to Waverly each day during the basketball season. Watton was the assistant coach when Wahoo had their 114 game winning streak.
Nebraska is trying to get David Williams to visit Lincoln. He is a running back out of Philadelphia. He ran for 2000 yards and had 37 TD's his junior year. Rivals rates Williams as a four star and he has been offered a scholarship by almost every top team in the nation.
The Cubs still have the worst record in baseball with a 29-49 record.
Matt Kenseth is out with Roush Racing. He may be headed to Gibbs racing. Brad Kesolowski won the Kentucky Nascar race Saturday night. Keso is becoming a fan favorite and continues to do well.
NU basketball has offered 2013 point guard Sam Singer, who attends Miami Ransom Everglades School in florida. Singer is 6' 4". Last year Singer averaged 34 ppg, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. Singer has not visited NU yet.

The "Big Red Weekend" was this weekend. NU football had around 20 non-commtted and committed recruits visit the facilities. They received rave reviews.
Nathan Gerry, an athlete from Sioux Falls, SD, commited to Nebraska. He had offers from Iowa, Michigan St., and Minnesota.
Gabriel Miller, a long snapper, committed to Nebraska. Odd for Nebraska to offer a scholarship to a long snapper. He is rated number three at that position in the country. It is an important position and we need a good one. He was the nmer eleven commit for the 2013 class.
Nebraska also made an offer to California QB Johnny Stanton. He is a 6'2" duel threat quarterback. Oregon, Oregon St, California, and Washington have made offers along with many others. If Oregon likes him he should fit nicely into our office also.
Last week the No. 33 rated quarterback visited Nebraska. He is Damion Hobbs from Cedar Hill Texas. Hobbs rated the visit a 10. Hobbs plans to visit Missouri also.
In NU basketball, the Dallas Triumph AAU team made a visit last Wednesday. Actually four players visited on their way to the Creighton BB camp. Steven Spieth is a 2013 shooting guard. He is rated 24th in Texas He is 6'6". Tim Miles recruited him at Colorado St.
Jake Flaggert is going to be rated in the Top 15 in Texas at the next ratings to be released by TexasHoops. Flaggert is also 6"6" with a 30 inch vertical.
Also 2013 Max Tillinghast and 2015 Mason Riggins. Their coach predict Riggins may be one of the best players in the country for his age.
They left UNL feeling very impressed with Nebraska basketball!
2014 point guard Nick Norton visited the NU basketball facilities last Wednesday also. He plays for the KC Run GMC AAU program. He is a 2013 5'11" point guard is from Missouri.

My dad was the greatest dad that ever lived. If I could change anything about my
dad, what would I have changed? Nothing. I have thought about this may times and
I honestly can't think of anything.
Dad had many passions. He had a passion for his wife, my mom. He had a passion for his kids and grandkids. He had a passion for his family. He had a passion for fishing and hunting. He had a passion for visiting with people. He had a passion for his garden. He had a passion for his faith.
Dad loved life but we lost him on October 4, 2006. Now when I say we lost him, but he is still here living in us. Many businesses have a mission statement and core values that drive their decisions. For myself, since dad's death and even before that, my decisions are made by asking myself "What would dad do?". By using this for my driving force in life, decisions have been better and easier because I end up making decisions that are right, even if everybody does not agree. I always know that if I do what dad would have done, God would be very happy because he was a great example of how we are to do things.
On this Father's Day, I think about all the great memories I have of my dad! I think of stacking hay as dad brought in the bales with the farmhand. Irrigation was a big part of our summer and when we had a break in the ditch, dad and I would pitch the dirt towards the break where my sister was laying in the ditch trying to keep the water from running so fast. A big part of my life was all the fishing and hunting experiences I had the pleasure to be a part of with my dad. They were events. There are so many memories. My dad was the best hunter and fisherman I have ever seen but he was always more happy when us kids were successful. He was proud of his family.
Even though it is Father's Day, I feel very grateful that I have a mom that although she is different in some ways, she is just as great. Thanks mom!
I miss my dad. I miss him calling me and wondering when I was coming to Orleans again even though I had been there three times in the last week. I miss driving up to mom's house and not seeing him sitting at the patio table. I miss working with him in his garden. I miss the hunting and fishing experiences and talking about previous hunting and fishing experiences. I missed dad at my three daughter's weddings. He was ALWAYS so proud of his grandkids. He loved them very much. I know he would be so happy to see all them. He would have been proud of all the greatgrandkids also. He would have been so happy of Sam and Nolan and the twins, Addison and Reese. They are my grandkids.
I loved his stories. He was a great story teller. I could listen to them for hoursI loved him because he was the greatest dad ever!!!

Dad loved life but we lost him on October 4, 2006. Now when I say we lost him, but he is still here living in us. Many businesses have a mission statement and core values that drive their decisions. For myself, since dad's death and even before that, my decisions are made by asking myself "What would dad do?". By using this for my driving force in life, decisions have been better and easier because I end up making decisions that are right, even if everybody does not agree. I always know that if I do what dad would have done, God would be very happy because he was a great example of how we are to do things.
On this Father's Day, I think about all the great memories I have of my dad! I think of stacking hay as dad brought in the bales with the farmhand. Irrigation was a big part of our summer and when we had a break in the ditch, dad and I would pitch the dirt towards the break where my sister was laying in the ditch trying to keep the water from running so fast. A big part of my life was all the fishing and hunting experiences I had the pleasure to be a part of with my dad. They were events. There are so many memories. My dad was the best hunter and fisherman I have ever seen but he was always more happy when us kids were successful. He was proud of his family.
Even though it is Father's Day, I feel very grateful that I have a mom that although she is different in some ways, she is just as great. Thanks mom!
I miss my dad. I miss him calling me and wondering when I was coming to Orleans again even though I had been there three times in the last week. I miss driving up to mom's house and not seeing him sitting at the patio table. I miss working with him in his garden. I miss the hunting and fishing experiences and talking about previous hunting and fishing experiences. I missed dad at my three daughter's weddings. He was ALWAYS so proud of his grandkids. He loved them very much. I know he would be so happy to see all them. He would have been proud of all the greatgrandkids also. He would have been so happy of Sam and Nolan and the twins, Addison and Reese. They are my grandkids.

I hear Thunder tonight
Yes we have a few sprinkles tonight but the Thunder comes out of Oklahoma City as they knocked off the Miami Heat tonight. Yippee!!
NU basketball recruit Tyrone Taylor visited Lincoln last weekend and loved what he saw. He is a 2014 point guard. He does not have an offer from NU yet but it could be coming. Creighton has offered. Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma St., Wichita St., and California are some of the teams that have shown interest. I think Taylor is ready to go if he gets an offer.
Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis' brother Drew is a graduate assistant for Frank Solich at Ohio.
Akoy Agau stopped by the NU facilities and talked for an hour with Tim Miles and other coaches. Positive move for NU and it is hopeful it will lead to more time together for them.
Tomorrow Nebraska hosts Toby Hegner, a three star power forward from Wisconsin. He is a 2013 recruit. Hegner is 6'10" but only 205 pounds. He is known for his shooting and is more of a position four player. Nebraska has not made an official offer yet.

I am to the NBA again after being away for a few years. I watched the Miami Heat/Boston Celtic game Tuesday night when the Celtics beat the Heat at Miami. I found it rather enjoyable and I think the league has made some changes that allows them to play more like the college game. I would say I will cheer for the Thunder to beat the Heat but I am anxious to see Labron go against Durant.
The pregame is kind of a joke. It seems like the group which includes Magic Johnson is in left field with their commentary. I like Magic but some of those guys are bad in my opinion. After the Celtics beat the Heat and went ahead in the series 3-2, they spent an hour before the next game talking about how the Heat would not win and who would be traded from their team. I went on and on. I guess I got the feeling they really have NO idea whats to come and to listen to them is a waste of time.
The Session two NU football camp reportedly showed that there is a load of talent in the 2014 class. Lincoln Southeast's D. J. Foster has received an NU offer already. Millard North's Clay Fisher may be the best of the Fisher kids. Hoepfully Nebraska can land him.
Joey Logano won at Pocono today. He had won the pole but I never expected him to win the race. He needed a win. He took over the ride when Tony Stewart started his own team.
Last week NU hosted 2013 power forward Tory Miller from Lee Summit, Missouri. He is 6-8 and 247 lbs and has a Big 10 body. He will be a project but he could be a good one. He has offers from NU, Minnesota, Creighton, Colorado St. and Arkansas.

Justin Black, a NU baseball recruit, is going pro. He was drafted in the fourth round by the Atlanta Braves. He is a centerfielder from Montana.
Walter Pritchard is coming to NU to play basketball. He is a 6'10 forward and he is transferring from Florida. He was an Elite Eight High School player from Florida and was highly touted before attending Florida. He will likely redshirt this year.
DiJon Washington is leaving NU to play football elsewhere. He was a four-star safety recruit and played special teams last year. No word to where he will transfer to.
Sean Sellers, a 2014 NU basketball recuit, was in Lincoln last week. He is a 6'6" small forward from Indiana. He is being sought by a number of teams but was really impressed by the NU facilities.
