I love her!

[NamelessHusker]

She is a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Big 12 selection

 

I have been watching the NU volleyball team since 1998 and when Elmer first stepped on campus and the way she is ending her career at NU is quite possibly the biggest turnaround i have ever seen from a player. She puts her heart and soul into every hit, kill, dig and serve. She will be missed next year but she is leaving behind a legacy and holds the records for most blocks in a game. Her and Amber Holmquist are my 2 time Husker players if you had to put together a team of greatest husker Volelyball players

I've only seen one game so maybe i don't know what i'm talking about but it doesn't seem like she has as much fun out there as the rest of the girls. Maybe she's just really focused. Oh well, not like it matters, just an observation.

[Roy CO HSKR]

You are misinterpreting a serious non-talkative deameanor for not having fun. She smiles when it's appropriate, like last night!

[BigRedDallasTexan]

I probably shouldn't have said "she doens't have fun" but i really meant that she just doesn't seem to smile as much as the rest of the team. But like i said i've only seen one game and like every shot they got of her she was completely focused.

[NamelessHusker]

I can tell you from watching her that she has NEVER cracked a smile during the game. When she plays, she's in the zone.

Someone told me that the game is going to be on ESPN2 today but i really have no idea. Anyone know what channel the game is on?

[NamelessHusker]

It's on ESPN2 at 5pm
