if you have the B1G 10 Network and turn it on. The Husker volleyball team is playing to 90,000 + fans in the football stadium.

I wish VB would get more attention.
The local sports radio morning show was talking down on it this AM. (If you are a country music fan, Justin Moore was one of them. He is a co host for some freaking reason. He has zero to it but I am not the one making decisions).

My dd and her family are huge volleyball fans. They have gone to watch the Longhorn VB team play in Austin a few times. We all live in the DFW area. My dgd plays club, 13 yo. I’ve been to lots of her games.

Missed it, but, we are huge volleyball fans! Our daughter played for 7 years and now she coaches. We love volleyball at this house!

Wow, that is a massive crowd! (I reckon we'd be lucky to get 900 people to a volleyball match here.) What a thrill it must have been for those players, playing in front of such a huge crowd. Good for them!

Our community college has a team here.
I don’t really do sports but when they showed up at our store in a bus with the same number as our store number I knew they were my team. That was back in September of last year. And they were back just today.
Same bus number too ☺️
On their way to Solano.

I saw clips last night and didnt understand - is this the #1 team in the nation or something, or are they just trying to get a record for most watched?
I got chills when I saw them come out onto the football field.

GBR!!! This was so cool & I wish I could have been there! I love to watch the volleyball team play. I am kicking myself for not getting tickets. My youngest ds was there. He is in the band. He said it was absolutely amazing. Perfect weather. |

I got chills when I saw them come out onto the football field. They are not the #1 team. They are highly ranked. The Huskers always have a great volleyball program. They were trying to get a record for the most attendance at a woman's sporting event. I teared up multiple times. They sell out their venue of 8000 fans every home game. I can't imagine what it felt like for those ladies to have 90,000 + people cheering for them. |

I just texted my dd if she watched that game last night. She said, of course we did ! We are a huge sports fans family, but volleyball is something new to most of us. ( at are they called meets, or something like that ? ).

Huge VBall fan. Played varsity in HS and college and will watch any time I see it on TV.
My BFF is 6'1" and she never played any sports. We used to joke around that she was a waste of height. Her children have certainly made up for it. She has 4 and they're all giants. Her daughter is playing for her college team and I can't wait to go to some games.

My first thought was to wonder why 90,000+ people even want to watch volleyball? hahaha I find it completely boring, just like I find tennis and golf boring. Yet I know that there are MANY fans of both of those things (although I wouldn't have predicted that for volleyball). I'm just weird like that.  |

I love the Nebraska fans for getting out and supporting their female athletes!
Here in Oklahoma, the state has gone mad for softball due to the success of the OU softball team (OSU is pretty good too!) It's nearly impossible to get a ticket to an OU softball game and the tickets to the national championship tournament (played in Oklahoma City every year) are also hard to come by. The whole state is talking about nothing but softball when the tournament is going on.
I just love that people are finally starting to realize that it's just as fun to cheer on the female athletes as it is to cheer on the male athletes.

Volleyball fan here, but we don’t get Big 10 Network. They were talking about it during the Arkansas Wisconsin VB match and showing clips. I saw the walkout on FB which was awesome!
