Any early 80's Lincoln Southeast High alums on this board remember this guy?
I'm channel surfing now (4:40-ish AM) while eating breakfast and I'm currently watching a gameshow on CW network Funny You Should Ask. Jon Kelley is the host.
I'd seen him in various small segments on TV here and there over the years but was curious where I'd seen him and went to his IMDB page. In his Bio it said he played football @ Nebraska on a full ride scholarship. So I did a roster search on Huskers.com to see what his Huskers Bio might say, but it's blank. He was an I-Back and came in with Keith Jones in 1984. Not to mention the I-Back room at that time already featured Doug Dubose and Jeff Smith. My memory isn't what it used to be but I don't remember Jon Kelley. But I do remember K. Jones, Dubose and Smith during those years obviously. Just curious if anyone here remembers when Jon Kelley played @ Nebraska?
Per his IMDB bio he was raised by a single mother (Peggy Kelley) whom worked at the Lincoln Journal Star for 25 years. He was also a free agent with the Denver Broncos in 1988. As a journalist in Chicago, he covered all six Chicago Bulls championship teams in the 90s.
He graduated with a Broadcast Journalism degree from UNL. Beautiful wife and kids too. Looks like life has been good to him. Kudos to Jon!
Here's a short clip of Jon Kelley wearing a Nebraska shirt.

Just a heads up for those of you who might want to watch a reality show shot in Hartington, Nebraska. FYI, Hartington is the hometown of former Husker great Russ Hochstein. The show covers the day-to-day work grind of a married couple who are Veterinarians in Hartington, Nebraska. Personally, I'm not a reality show kinda guy, but my niece is a Veterinary Technician and she informed me of this new series and I've watched all of the episodes (4 of them so far) and it's actually pretty good. The show follows Drs. Ben and Erin Schroeder. Ben is a Nebraska native while Erin is an upstate New York native. They met in Veterinary School @ Kansas State. Erin was a scholarship basketball player @ Syracuse University.
You'll get to see lots of rural Nebraska camera shots along with Nebraska clothing gear here and there. Some of you that post here on Huskerboard might even know some of the folks that appear on the show? For you Nebraska expats missing The Good Life this show might appeal to your visual senses. The first episode aired January 25th, 2020 and will be a limited 6 episode series for now with the possibility of more episodes later. You can stream past episodes on-demand via subscription. Otherwise it airs on Saturdays @ 9:00pm central time on National Geographic Wild. If you're a Spectrum cable customer in Nebraska, you can find it on channel 130.

Congrats, Jordan!
American volleyball player, captain of Eczacibasi Jordan Larson returned to Kazan for the first time in 5 years! A solemn ceremony was organized especially for the ex-volleyball player of “Dinamo-Kazan”. Jordan answered the questions of journalists, paused about the times of playing for “Dinamo-Kazan”, shared the sensations from the ceremony and from returning to Kazan. The leadership of the Kazan club conducted a tour of the Hall of Fame for the famous volleyball player, left a note with wishes in the memorial book of the museum and the imprint of her champion palm. The ceremony ended with the ceremonial laying of the personal star “# 10 Jordan Larson”, which you can see in the museum before tomorrow's match

What's up, HB'ers?
Just thought I'd make a rare post today. It's been awhile!
Foecke could reach #3 on the All-Time kills list depending on numerous variables of course. As it stands now she is 18 shy of passing Jordan Larson (#5). 21 shy of passing Nancy Metcalf (#4). 51 shy of passing Lisa Reitsma (#3).
If her past NCAA performances are any indication to gauge future performance, here are her kills stats in the tournament:
2015: 6 matches = 12, 12, 8, 11, 12, 19 = 74 kills
2016: 5 matches = 13, 10, 9, 9, 13 = 54 kills
2017: 6 matches = 9, 7, 7, 18, 19, 20 = 80 kills
I see her passing Larson and Metcalf this weekend if all goes according to plan. Catching Reitsma will be a tougher task, but possible if we can go deep in the tournament. If we make the Final Four, then I could see Foecke passing Reitsma.
Another nifty little piece of trivia is that players recruited from Nebraska and Iowa currently hold 8 of the Top 10 spots on the All-Time kills list. Nebraska with 5 (Weston, Larson, Rolfzen, Stahr, DeBoer) and Iowa with 3 (Reitsma, Metcalf, Foecke). The Hammer from Canada, Sarah Pavan (#1) and The Killer from Illinois, Eileen Shannon (#8) round out the Top 10.
NU Top 10 All-Time kills list:
1. Sarah Pavan (CAN) - 2008
2. Allison Weston (NE) - 1778
3. Lisa Reitsma (IA) - 1633
4. Nancy Metcalf (IA) - 1603
5. Jordan Larson (NE) - 1600
6. Mikaela Foecke (IA) - 1583
7. Kadie Rolfzen (NE) - 1564
8. Eileen Shannon (IL) 1521
9. Virginia Stahr (NE) 1395
10. Kathi DeBoer (NE) 1372

Mary Weatherholt has a way of making people change their weekend plans.
Playing for a national championship tends to do that.
The Husker senior continued her run through the NCAA women’s singles tennis field with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Alabama’s Alexa Guarachi in a semifinal match Sunday played indoors at the University of Illinois’ Atkins Tennis Center.
Weatherholt (30-1), ranked No. 11 nationally, will face defending NCAA champion Nicole Gibbs of Stanford in the finals Monday. The No. 13 Gibbs, the 2012 NCAA singles and doubles champion, rolled past Texas’ Breaunna Addison 6-1, 6-1 in her semifinal.
It was Weatherholt’s fifth win in the tournament, and her surge has brought NU head coach Scott Jacobson to the scene. Associate head coach Hayden Perez had handled both Weatherholt and the doubles team of Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova in the individual championships, which began Wednesday, but Jacobson was on hand for the semifinals Sunday.

Nice to see the ladies flip the script on Stanford this time.
The last time Nebraska played in the NCAA Regionals was 2011 @ Stanford. Stanford eliminated us that weekend to advance to Super Regionals.
Way to go, Lady Huskers.
Now onto Oregon...

Lincoln - Nebraska's Jordan Hooper earned a position on USA Basketball's 12-player roster for the Women's World University Games, USA Basketball announced on Sunday.
Hooper, a 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., captured her first roster spot with USA Basketball in her first trip to a trials. The two-time All-American has powered Nebraska to back-to-back NCAA tournaments, including a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 as a junior in 2013.
Hooper, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, earned a spot on USA Basketball's Women's World University Games Team after three days (May 16-18) of intense competition among 33 of the nation's top collegians at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
