So, Nebraska is 6-4 in the B1G after Minnesota's 3-1 win. That Ohio State loss by Penn State really looms large now. Without it, still a huge hill to climb for Penn State -- Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska (at Nebraska) -- not to mention Illinois and the rest -- but the Nittany Lions would only be one game back. Not great at math, but I do know two is more than one. Twice as much, in fact. i think I'll be okay with splitting those 4 games against Minny, Neb, Wis and Ill |

We still have a long way to go. I don't think we can expect to compete for the conference championship, but I'd be happy to be mistaken. I think we are fortunate that the toughest part of the schedule is "rear-loaded." Our team has had a ton of experiences with adversity and I'm hoping we can go 7-3 during the season's 2nd half.

Sun and sweet have been awful last few matches. Not saying sun isn’t good player but people built her up so high just like carlini that that’s so much pressure Sunsweet? Don't they do prunes?
Why, yes they do! |

I was going to say i didn't think NE had lost 3 straight since entering the B1G. 1997? Wow.
I remember the original Lost Weekend, starring Ray Milland. It was sort of a cult classic they showed for $.75 at my college back in the day.
Remake: Lost Weekend starring John Cook. Now his scowl looks totally appropriate.

I guess we'll see if Nebraska has the wherewithal to match the comeback our 2010 team managed. |

Looks like Louisville is giving Pitt a struggle today. Pitt is up 2-1 in sets, but Louisville is leading 8-2 in set 4.

Pitt came back to win set 4, 25-20; staying undefeated with a 3 set to 1 win.

Louisville collapsed. They could've taken it to 5, but Pitt won 3-1.
Mizzou just beat Florida in 5.

From now on every match they won that’s not a sweep and every match the lose I’m gonna hop on and go “ I know, Nebraska could have swept them.” Apparently they should sweep everyone.
Also guys im gonna say in advance it’s not fair psu has to play wisky and minny back to back. Psu has lost a few matches cause of all the pressure of program success is wearing on players. Psu most those first two matches but remember reed was hurt (ala sun looks like her back is bothering her). If u give me the day I’m sure I can come up with super long list.
