BYE WEEK NOTES

 Capital of Texas Nebraskans

Yes, this is an off week for the Huskers. They have an extra week to prepare for the Big 10 portion of their schedule. The next game is October 5 against Illinois with an 11 AM kickoff. Third Base will open at 10:30 a.m. for that game.

The 3 and 1 Huskers had a good showing last week, resting the injured Taylor Martinez. Thanks to everyone who came out for the last watch party. Nice crowd both North and South.

Thanks also to all the supporters who showed up on Sunday for the Huskers vs Longhorns women's volleyball game. The Huskers lost, but what a great match. This went to 5 sets losing in the fifth set by 3 points. The young Husker team played a great game in a very noisy, sold out Texas environment. AND I am happy to say the Nebraska supporters provided a lot of the noise. This group of Huskers will only get better. Great turnout for a very exciting event. My compliments to the Longhorns on the win and I was impressed by the Texas team providing autographs and pictures for their fans for about 20 minutes following the game.
