Best in history

Dear Editor,

Thank you, Ronda, for knocking around some Husker heads for ignoring the Nebraska volleyball team. Those Huskers have been outstanding for years, but Coach John Cook's current team may well be one of the best in NCAA history.

I first took my then 8-year-old daughter to a match in Boulder in the early 1990s, where the Huskers clobbered a capable Colorado team.

During the contest, Meredith said about the loud CU cheerleaders, "I wish they'd shut up so we could hear the Nebraska athletes talking it up and calling out their plays."

She was young, but she recognized the genuine talent and athleticism of the Husker volleyball players. Let's see a million more Nebraska fans recognize this, too.
