[Husker] Volleyball

"Once a Husker, always a Husker," Cook said. "I feel like Coach Rose  
and I are probably almost like best buddies or brothers because we're  
both Huskers.""


I disagree; I believe that Rose said something to the effect that the only
reason Nebraska is good year in and year out. Is that they never play the
tough matches on the road. Am I wrong with this statement?

He didn't keep Yanz at PSU. She left and is at Nebraska, but since she  
was not granted release has to sit out a year.

Put it this way, John Cook doesn't have a problem with it, so why do  
we? Cook says he considers Rose like a brother.... from the article:

  "Once a Husker, always a Husker," Cook said. "I feel like Coach Rose  
and I are probably almost like best buddies or brothers because we're  
both Huskers.""

Normally coaches don't say anything bad about each other, but if they  
don't like each other, they certainly wouldn't say anything that good.

BTW, we (Nebraska) have done the same, allowed transfers but  
restricted where the transfer would go. I get the feeling it happens a  
lot in non-revenue sports, but since there's not much coverage, nobody  
cares... or maybe nobody notices.
