Cook Named Coach of the Year by VolleyballMag.com - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

Nebraska volleyball head coach John Cook was named national coach of the year by VolleyballMag.com on Wednesday, and three Huskers were chosen to the website’s All-America teams.

John Cook wins Coach of the Year from Volleyballmag.com. It’s well-deserved. As Husker fans we know this. That Nebraska made the national title game after having to replace Briana Holman, Kelly Hunter, and Annika Albrecht from last year was nothing short of amazing.

The Cheez-It Bowl Was The Yummy Goodness of College Football

The Cheez-It Bowl between TCU and Cal featured 7 points and 6 interceptions by halftime. It was a game of inept madness and glorious fun. Of course, it had to go into overtime.

TCU vs. Cal was one of the most beautifully hideous bowls ever - SBNation.com

And bless them for it.

Get through that for more.

Keys:

• 9 interceptions.
• An interception in OT that would have resulted in a game-winning pick six if not for an offensive lineman running down the play and making the tackle.
• A SID coming onto the field during the potential pick six, colliding with an official and drawing a sideline interference penalty.
• Gary Patterson using two kickers in OT, and using one as a decoy after an “icing the kicker” timeout.

It was weird, glorious beautiful fun. SCREW ALL OF YOUR “MEANINGLESS BOWL GAME” taunts. This is all going to be gone soon. Enjoy it while you can, fun hater.

A Bowl Game Got Canceled

First Responder Bowl canceled because it didn’t have Plan B | Idaho Statesman

In a massive, football-crazed metro area with many venues that could handle the 8,000-10,000 people who showed up for Wednesday’s game — including at least a couple with roofs — playing anywhere but Cotton Bowl Stadium wasn’t considered. Changing the game time, or perhaps even the date, wasn’t considered until it was too late.

Somewhere I read that this was the first bowl game ever canceled. I’m not sure if that’s 100% correct, but I’m pretty sure I can’t recall it ever happening before.

What’s interesting about this Nebraska team is that it seems simultaneously over and underrated nationally. That sounds bizarre (it is), but hear me out. The Huskers should absolutely be in the top 25 right now. The team simply has too many dominating wins for it to be sitting on the outside in the human polls. But right now, that’s exactly where it is.

US man finishes solo race across Antarctica - BBC News

In 2008 O’Brady suffered severe burns to 25% of his body during a holiday in Thailand, leading doctors to tell him that he may never walk normally again.

He recovered and went on to race in triathlons before climbing each of the Seven Summits - the highest peaks on every continent.

He has also skied to both the north and south pole and hiked to the highest point in every US state.

This is what you call an overachiever.
