Volleyball: Nebraska vs Penn State Open Thread

When: September 21st, 2011, 7:00 PM Central

Where: The Coliseum - Home of Husker Volleyball, Lincoln, Nebraska

TV: Big Ten Network

Radio: Husker Sports Network, including B107.3 FM in Lincoln and KTWI 93.3 FM in Omaha, and on Huskers.com

Web Video: BTN2Go

Live Stats:Huskers.com

#10 Nebraska takes on #5 Penn State in what is the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams. 

We have not typically done open threads for "Olympic Sports" (as the B1G refers to them), so consider this kind of an experiment. Nebraska's Olympic Sports have been televised in the past, but even then only rarely, and typically only in the state of Nebraska by NETV. 

Now we have the BTN. Husker Sports are available anywhere in the US. More Husker fans will be paying attention, and if you're one of those and looking for a place online to discuss and comment about the games, please consider giving Corn Nation a try. We'll be nice. Mostly.

Tons of sexyness on my TV, and I get to call it a sport as an excuse so I don’t get in trouble at home!

This game

Is one of the unsung benefits of having Nebraska in the B1G — was totally stoked when it dawned on me this was now a conference contest to be played every year.

Hey Jon

In case you need copy this week, I was informed at my office mid-afternoon that there are no hotel rooms available in either Laramie or Cheyenne this weekend due to the influx of Nebraska red for the game.

But they think this indicates quite a few.

The way I see it, this is nothing less than making a statement.

I think it is virtually impossible for Wisconsin to run out of beer. They probably have a Strategic Reserve.

We should adjust our priorities to kicking ass AND THEN drinking beer (for those 10 or so football players that are over 21).

Even if we pull this out

Big missed opportunity to make a statement. We should’ve had set 3 decisively.

It was great to get Husker Nation together on a week night. CN should make this Vball open thread a regular thing.

Yessir!

Also is it just me or are some of these BTN analysts still not overly knowledgeable about Nebraska? Genuinely being concerned about the long term potential of the Blackshirts is generally an out of state media and hopeful opposing fan trait. Considering who’s running our defensive show, I’m going with the “we’re fine until further notice” assumption.
