Here's the synopsis from NET:

 

When the Nebraska volleyball team defeated Stanford last December at Omaha's Qwest Center to win the 2006 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship, a record crowd of more than 17,000 celebrated in their victory.

 

But the Husker championship was not a fairy-tale success.

 

"Nebraska Volleyball: Dream Like a Champion," airing Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. CT and Sunday, Dec. 9, at 5:30 p.m. CT on NET1 and in high-definition on NET-HD, is an inspiring look at Nebraska's own "Dream Team."

 

From former head volleyball coach Terry Pettit to current coach John Cook, follow the Husker volleyball team on its journey to winning the 2006 National Championship title and along the way learn some of the history behind one of the nation's premier women's volleyball programs.

 

After a devastating loss to the Washington Huskies in the 2005 National Championship match, "Dream Like a Champion" captures how the Husker team rebounded from the defeat and forged team unity and lasting friendships during a trip to China.

 

The documentary then follows the Nebraska women as they persevere through the pressure-filled and roller coaster ride of the 2006 season, culminating in the national championship match against Stanford in Omaha.

 

Commentary from current and past Husker players, as well as national rivals, is featured in the program.

 

"Dream Like a Champion" chronicles how the accomplishments of Pettit's teams -- 694 victories, a 1995 national championship and six Final Four appearances -- led to volleyball becoming to Husker women's athletics what the Big Red football program is to the men's athletic program. It also explores how Cook -- who took over when Pettit retired in 1999 -- has made the Nebraska volleyball program his own.

So.... did anyone watch this thing? I watched it last night and thought it was OK. It was really hard watching the clips from the Washington match. I kind of felt a little ill.

 

It was great how they went back and did a bunch of stuff on Pettit and the work he did to build this program. Without Terry Pettit the volleyball culture in Nebraska wouldn't be much different than any other state. We really have something special here, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Pettit and his various assistants through the years.

I watched it and was enlightened. I never knew Iowa State's coach was a former husker from the '95 team. Now i'm hoping that the clones win tomorrow too so it will be nu - isu in the saturday match.

 

Anyone else going to Madison tomorrow? I'm in the Chicago area so it's a no brainer for me especially since getting VB tix in Lincoln is a big pain.

To add to that, ISU's Christy Johnson was an assistant to Head Coach John Cook at Wisconsin in the late 90's.

She was a crazy-good setter. I can't tell you how many jousts CJ won at the net, and she was almost always the shorter player. She was just so strong and so determined that she probably won 95% of those.

 

I wish her well, but not TOO well. It won't do to have her upset her alma mater in the Regional Finals (if they make it there - Cal is a strong team).
