That was awesome. A much deserved celebration for one of the greatest programs in collegiate sports history. A fine time was had by all and the party continued well past the match end time.
Nebraska could have gone out there and broke the volleyball record way cheaper than they did. The spectacle matched the accomplishment. Instead of just settling for a small record, they went big, but not just for volleyball. They took the premier program at the University and used it as an anchor point to make a statement: Nebraska can still accomplish the biggest of dreams.
People have asked for years, can Nebraska football come back? We just saw through the cooperation of the athletic department, university, coaching staff and fans that a WORLD RECORD can be broken. Now, I don't expect this record to last very long. The biggest accomplishments often don't because they set the bar so high that others are inspired to break them.
For all of us as fans, that's what greatness looks like. Lets go and have as much fun this season as everyone had tonight.
