Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 88th Consecutive Home Win Nebraska’s home-court success was built upon talented teams playing with discipline, and Tuesday’s record-setting win over Creighton was a step — albeit a baby one — in the right direction for the Huskers’ youthful 2009 edition. Tara Mueller had 13 kills and super sub Jordan Wilberger added a career-high 10 as No. 6 Nebraska won 25-19, 25-23, 25-16 at the NU Coliseum, the Huskers’ 88th consecutive home-court victory. Nebraska entered the season tied with Penn State of 1995-2000 as the NCAA record holders, and even though the Huskers lost at Qwest Center Omaha last weekend, the setback to Michigan counted as a neutral match. Same story for Penn State in the 2008 final four. More Here Quote Link to comment

Yep. Hawaii is the only team that has higher attendance than the Huskers every year. I'd love to go watch a match over there sometime. The fans there really know the sport, and they couldn't be more different than Nebraskans. But because of this sport, they're linked pretty closely. Quote Link to comment

Husker Runner Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Here's some photos of the match with Creighton. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pws5252/sets/72157622218146898/ Thanks for posting these photos, some great shots! The photo with the Creighton libero reminds me of 5' 2" Texas libero Sydney Yogi. I use her as an example to all my volleyball girls that height doesn't need to be an obstacle to playing volleyball at a high level...a short player on scholarship at one of the top volleyball programs in the country.

Jarred04 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 We would have the attendance record, but that would stop the sellout streak. Cook doesn't want to move from the Coliseum because of the atmosphere, but I'd sure like to get a ticket every once in awhile. Quote Link to comment

They're general admission, and not great seats, but you can roam around and see the match. Quote Link to comment
Jarred04 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I haven't done much looking since graduating. I used to just go into the rec and watch from the side, but those days are gone. I'll have to check that out. I know there are normally people selling tickets outside the coliseum, too. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
