National Championship Game Day Thread
A little under two hours away - Nebraska meets Stanford for a national championship in women's volleyball.
That's two years in a row now, and I remember the disappointment when watching us against Washington last year. The Huskers really got their rears handed to them by a Washington team that was on a roll.
Memory of that game has me anxious. Nebraska must win a national title while Sarah Pavan is playing for us, otherwise it's a sign that things must be off-kilter in the universe.

Stanford takes game one
Given that we were down 0-2 to Minnesota, and 0-1 to UCLA before coming back to win those games, perhaps this is a good sign.

7-1 run
They look timid during this run - like they're more worried about making a mistake than doing something with the ball

game point Nebraska!!!
Pavan smash.....
the hitting percentage in the third game was nearly identical for both teams. TV keeps making a big deal out of Stanford's Barboza, but the rest of Stanford's team is playing better.
Both of these teams have plenty of depth, so we're not going to wear down Stanford like we did UCLA.

Hitting percentage
One more game and we win a national title!

Game Four
If this goes to a game five, it could kill me. The 15 point games are so nasty, any errors whatsoever and the game is over.

Timeout Stanford
my in-laws are at this game. If it goes to game five, there will probably be a stoppage as my mother-in-law has a heart attack in the stands.
The Huskers need to win this game to save her life !
