FEATURE | “I wish people knew the ‘why.'"

Why does Antrell Taylor — Nebraska wrestling's first homegrown champion since 2000 — fight so hard?

His father + brother never gave up on him.

Now, after their deaths, he refuses to give up on them.

Why does Antrell Taylor 'fight so hard?' Because his father and brother never left his corner

"Let's go, Trelly. Turn up." Even after death, the voices of Antrell Taylor's father and brother push him forward. The result: a national championship run.

Nebraska volleyball has sold out its arena for 330+ matches.

I don’t think that it’s delusional at all for Nebraska to compare itself to other arenas that sell out at a high rate.

Love your stuff. One funny in this article- The ‘peer group’ of UConn/SC, Pur/KS for WBB and MBB ? Makes one think the Athletic Dept is just a wee bit delusional w/littleself awareness 🤷

Guest column | Who knew Bill Belichick would be a disaster at UNC? Anyone paying attention.

Tar Heels boosters intent on making a splash hired the eight-time Super Bowl winner to lead their program. An actual college football coach would have made more sense.

Bill Simmons rips FloSports for nightmare streaming experiences

If you’re a fan of a niche sport or league, chances are you’ve heard of FloSports. The company streams everything from motorsports to wrestling to Division 3 college athletics, charging users anywhere between $10 and $30 per month depending on what sport they want access to. For that price, one would expect some level of Read more... The post Bill Simmons rips FloSports for nightmare streaming experiences appeared first on Awful Announcing.

Nebraska is still No. 1 in this week's AVCA coaches poll and is followed by Texas at No. 2 with 3 first-place votes.

Indiana achieves its best-ever ranking at 19. Its previous high was 23rd in 2010.

For the first time since Sept. 1991 (556 weeks), Florida is not in the Top 25.

Today’s conversation with my middle school TeamMate:

Her: “your highlight of the week?”
Me: “I’m going to see the Jonas Brothers tonight”
Her: “who is that?”
Me: “uhhh… the boy band?”
Her: “Never heard of them.”

Ouch.

4Q, 6:45 | Touchdown, Nebraska.

Nyziah Hunter catches the screen pass, breaks a tackle, loses a shoe, and scampers into the end zone for the 59-yard touchdown.

That puts Nebraska's offense at 250 yards for the day.

4Q, 13:32 | Kyle Cunanan's 27-yard field goal is good.

Nebraska 24, Michigan State 21.

3Q, 1:08 | The wind today, man.

That Nebraska kickoff went just 39 yards. Michigan State had two guys signaling to fair catch it and the ball ended up touching MSU before falling to the turf.

Mekhi Nelson came up with it. Yet another big special teams play for Nebraska today.
