cornhuskers crush stanford, 3 games to 1

The University of Nebraska volleyball team won the national championship game against Stanford last night, their third national championship ever. "Stanford coach John Dunning called the final the biggest game in college volleyball history. The [Omaha] Qwest Center capacity crowd of about 17,200 was the largest to ever watch a college volleyball match."

I watched the game with zillions of red-clad Husker fans (and some Whitneys and some Thompsons and some Lehls) at Heidelbergs, a gigantic sports bar I'd never heard of in south Lincoln. It was the first college-level volleyball game I'd ever seen, and man o man, I had no idea! It's fast-paced, exciting, the court's small enough to see the players, and just loook how terrifically gigantic they are! They're bionic! look at that vertical! (I think #9 is Sarah Pavan: she's 6'5".) and I was in a crowd of at least 250 people, including plenty o' men, all cheering for women, which was a really delicious feeling. I want to go to a real game next year.
