This is  a husker list, not exclusively a Husker football list.  The
volleyball  team hasn't been mentioned since August.  Not recently.  Based  on
the comments, I guess if we went back to 95 when the football team was  so
good, there would have been no posts because they were beating everyone  so
soundly.  Why do I doubt that.  As for the soccer team, - I  don't remember
any posts on them this year.  I suspect we'll hear  about the men's
basketball team in January when they go into their annual  swoon in the Big
12.


 
 
Actually, Mr Buckley, the ladies Volleyball team has been mentioned a  couple 
of times, particularly early in the season when they beat four of the  five 
teams that started the season in the #2 through #6 poll spots behind them,  to 
include your Rainbow Wahine (who have developed into a much more impressive  
team after some early-season struggles with injuries.)
 
They have indeed not been mentioned lately because they have only dropped 6  
games all season, and only 3 in 13 Big XII matches.  They have only gone 5  
games one time, and that was after giving up a 5-point lead in game 3 after  
winning the first 2.
 
As mentioned by another poster, unless there is an upset, there's not a lot  
to talk about with regard to the Lady Cornhuskers, until we start looking at  
tournament seedings.
 
I will say I would really like to see them play Washington.  My family  and I 
went to the first match this season between UW and UH and saw the second  on 
TV here in Honolulu.  From what I've seen the Huskers and Huskies are on  
another level above everyone else.  Hopefully they will be in opposite  tournament 
brackets so they can meet in the championship game and not some  regional or 
final-four elimination game.
 
As I write this, I'm watching my DVR of the NU-OU volleyball match and NU  is 
one game away from what will hopefully be their 11th sweep in 14 conference  
matches.
 
GO BIG RED
