Except this is the worse upset of them all can’t wait to see how everything pans out

[@captainspartan04]

Ok smu with the big win. Can’t wait to see y’all vs Louisville, Stanford, and Pittsburgh. Welcome to the volleyball powerhouse conference. Also if y’all could beat Kentucky too that be awesome

a sweep is crazyyyy. good for smu

[@princeypooh9853]

As a Texas fan who got so much smack abt their game yesterday what I can say is, atleast we went to five. NEBRASKA straight up got swept, imma put it at that.

[@josiahterry3767]

I only wonder what they'll drop to now, not only that minn is ranked.. this smu squad is not

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@princeypooh9853 I said the same thing! Don’t talk shit about Texas when they lost in a five setter to a ranked team compared to their precious Nebraska team who got swept by an unranked smu team! Hook em🤘🏾

@@josiahterry3767 this is how I see rankings going. Stanford 1 Pitt 2(you can honestly put them at either number) Texas 3 Penn state 4(again you can put them at either number) Louisville 5, and that’s when it gets tricky from there, do you put Wisconsin there or do you put Nebraska there or do they both go down further than expected

I’m an ardent Nebraska fan, a wake up call. We got beaten in all phases of the game: hitting percentage, serves, digs and blocks. Being humbled may turn out to be fortunate.

[@coffey1718]

Good to get destroyed this early. Will be a wake-up call for Nebraska!!! This will be motivation for it to not happen again!

[@lightingbolt8148]

Definitely a wake up call, wake up call should’ve been woken up at first set.

[@Fatboy53]

The receive skills of GBR like a cancer from last chip loss to TX. They’re really missing Ally Batenhorst. She was really coming into herself last season and keeping the D off balance. Miss her. I’d hate to be at the GBR practice tomorrow. Hats off to SMU

[@baskinsmichael]

Riley will NOT set Landfair. It would have helped to set Landfair today when the other players were so bad.

[@janai3341]

i thought i was the only one who noticed this. is their beef on the team like she purposely avoids her

[@josiahterry3767]

2:08 ur point exactly... clear space and open net for landfair

[@williamhao1097]

Setter too arrogant. Give another setter some game.time.

[@rollos3909]

⁠@@janai3341Just from observing the Nebraska matches so far, there seems to be team chemistry issues. It looks like they don’t trust each other or seem hesitant in each others abilities. Krause and Reilly seem to give Landfair the cold shoulder a lot of the times. And Krause always looks visibly upset when Landfair is inserted or subbed in lol.

[@akiregarde]

SMU is really no joke. Makes me value Hawaii’s win over them more. Respect!

[@jennifermeza9005]

As a Nebraska fan I am extremely disappointed in our hitters and serve receive! They had Landfair starting but never set her or gave her any kind of opportunity but then pulled her, WHAT?! To put in Krause who is extremely inconsistent and is putting up more errors and tips then hits. Beason didn’t look her best but we all have bad days. It’s just hard to watch the coaching staff put in a player that isn’t given any opportunity like Landfair just to pull her without chances to hit the ball.

[@marinah9167]

Based on these highlights... looks like Nebraska got smoked in serve receive, again. They pride themselves on their serve and pass game yet Texas and now SMU have obliterated their receive line. SMU noticeably has waaay more heat on their serves. Same with Texas last season. Teams are catching on.

[@josiahterry3767]

I agree especially with that last part.. I mean 3/4 aces on Rodriguez??? One of the greats in neb history... I mean pfttt 😂😂

[@lightkook]

The announcers' comment about Nebraska being a great serving team and praising them. But, they are still struggling with service receive

[@princeypooh9853]

⁠the bias is biasing

[@Zaitann]

Their serves were really great, always so close to the line. And, tbh, SMU was a little bit lucky with some point (like the 21th of 1st set) But they play great and it's true Nebraska could have done better in serve recieve...

[@Super_Ronnie3628]

I think Stanford is also serving aggressively this season

[@scottlosey4978]

Please bear with me in regard to Taylor Landfair's transfer to Nebraska....I am curious as to whether others also believe that her transfer was/is a colossal mistake. Without question, when the announcement was made that Taylor Landfair was transferring to Nebraska, I could not have been more excited. Taylor's volleyball resume is as impressive as any other player in the country: Honors & Awards • AVCA All-America First Team (2022) • AVCA All-America Honorable Mention (2020-21) • AVCA North Region Player of the Year (2022) • AVCA North Region Freshman of the Year (2020-21) • AVCA All-Region Team (2020-21, 2022, 2023) • Big Ten Player of the Year (2022) • All-Big Ten First Team (2020-21, 2022, 2023) • Big Ten All-Freshman Team (2020-21) • AVCA Player of the Week (Nov. 29, 2022) • Big Ten Player of the Week (Oct. 10, 2022; Oct. 24, 2022; Nov. 7, 2022; Nov. 28, 2022) • Big Ten Freshman of the Week (Feb. 1, 2021; April 5, 2021) • Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge Most Valuable Player (Aug. 27, 2022) • Academic All-District (2022) • Academic All-Big Ten (2021, 2022, 2023) To get a player of Taylor's pedigree standing 6'5" seemed like a perfect fit to compete against the size of Nebraska's volleyball nemesis Wisconsin. However, what seems to be emerging earlly this season is what to do with her. We can all agree that Taylor is a 6 rotation starter for any other program in the country. Given her pedigree, size, and undeniable talent, a strong argument can be made that she should be starting as a 6 rotation player for Nebraska. I suspect that Coach Cook is feeling immense pressure to start Taylor. This is where team chemistry comes into play. Does Taylor play ahead of freshman All American Harper Murray? Does Taylor play ahead of Lindsey Krause....who was playing outstanding volleyball before her injury last year and thus far this season? Given that Taylor did not arrive in Lincoln until May coupled with the fact that many Nebraska players were commited to practice and play for a couple of different organizations throughout the summer, the opportunity for Taylor to develop chemistry with the program was non-existent. Now, as the season gets underway, what does Coach Cook do with Taylor on a team that played for the National Championship last season? Given that Taylor has had few opportunities to play early this season, is it reasonable to assume that the chemistry necessary to work within a lineup has not, yet, been developed? Is Krause, in particular, looking over her shoulder thereby adding to the pressure for her to play well for fear that she will be replaced.....a major contributor to the sucess of the program over the past three years? Is the pressure on Coach Cook to play Taylor a distraction thereby adversely impacting overall team chemistry? As I noted in a previous comment, surely Taylor did not transfer to Nebraska with two years of eligibility to sit. Clearly, something is amiss and I wonder if Taylor's transfer is causing more harm to both she and the team than good. I am interested to hear everyone's take on this issue. I have no idea what the answer entails, but something has to give because Taylor is one of the best players in the country wating away on the bench.

[@shelbymorimoto371]

(Minnesota fan here)… Taylor is awful in the backrow. AWFUL. To be honest most of us fans were happy to see her go. She was a cancer with her attitude. And we are THRIVING without her, playing an OH who sat behind Taylor 6 rotations and her serve receive is amazing and she had 18 kills against Texas 😅

[@scottlosey4978]

@@shelbymorimoto371 I watched the match with Texas and Minnesota played extremely disciplined volleyball. I am beginning to think that Coach Cook made a huge mistake bringing Taylor to Lincoln.

[@jammarketingco]

@@shelbymorimoto371 I couldn't agree more. She pouted her way through the 2023. There's no doubt that she is a high level player, but her attitude is not missed in Minneapolis. I also think she's a 3-rotation player--Nebraska has plenty of backrow talent to fill the spot. Congrats to SMU on a great win!

I don’t want to take anything away from this amazing win by smu, but, to the Nebraska fans that were talking shit about Texas losing yesterday how does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine?😂

[@josiahterry3767]

As a fellow Texas fan, and nebraska fan(somewhat) I can say.. this not only embarrasses neb but it embarrasses Texas, bc being the top two teams and losing to *easy* teams goes into what. Someone else in this comment section said.. rankings are just some numbers set to a team smu wanted this win.. but to sweep neb is to say the least 'gutsy'.. and deserving having being close to beating a different ranked team.. I can't remember off the top of my head but.. both minn and smu.. (realistically) every team has something to prove.. and so coming close to the end of pre-season games, conference play is going to be something to look out for not only for the ranked teams. 😅😅😂❤🎉 but great point Whitney 😊 I completely agree, some of these huskers fans are going to have some heat

[@princeypooh9853]

BY AN UNRANKED TEAM OMG WHAHAHHA, atleast texas went to 5 sets with a top20 team (now top10)… bye bye #1 (I don’t mind Texas #5, atleast they don’t have the main target in the back)

As a Houston fan seeing this, "if" we get to play SMU again later in y'alls tournament pending winner/loser, I hope we get you as opportunity for more competition and NET ranking. For that reason, keep winning Ponies so we can sweep you again for another victory this year too.

[@mjzunk7702]

as a TX fan all I can say is there may be starting to be more parity in womens vball minnesota looked better coached and had better players than TX lets see if they can keep it up.now smu looks like they are better than nebraska I think NE and TX going to be alright

[@mariah_canary1]

I think SMU played super smart. They understood that the Nebraska backrow was packed with DS(s?) so they got Nebraska out of system by aiming for the setter

[@djbenje4019]

6:05 So Jackson is a future National Team starter, but I can see that she, and the entire Nebraska front-row need to practice FOLLOWING THE HITTER (not the ball) when blocking. SMU's middle already started making her move to slide BEHIND the setter, but Jackson was still planted in the middle of the net... SMU is running lots of 'tricky' plays, and doing so very well. Nebraska needs to adjust, and practice for this quicker, more dynamic style of play.

[@CraigFoster-ue5up]

Somehow almost the entire team found a way to have there worst performance of the season considering they lost 0-3.

[@lightingbolt8148]

Wow what a shocking upset, I wonder if Nebraska just didn’t take SMU seriously or just a bad game.

[@lalsz72]

NU - Players are cocky & overrated. Haha! So satisfying. Congratulations SMU!

[@scottlosey4978]

From my vantage point having followed Nebraska's volleyball program since the mid 90s, this highly egregious loss, in all actuality, will prove to be far more beneficial than had they won without focus, intensity, and attention to detail. Coach Cook and staff can, now, point to this game as proof that they are as susceptible to losing as any other program in the country. From the E60 documentary to all of the preseason hype, these ladies entered into this game believing that they were unbeatable. From a coaching perspective, Coach Cook can refer to this game for the rest of the season as evidence that if you overlook an opponent, if you take winning for granted, if, again, you lack focus and intensity, you are capable of losing. Its hard to convince a team that they are susceptible to losing when all they hear is that they are unbeatable....ie Nebraska lost this game because they did not believe that they could lose this game. If I can be perfectly candid, I am glad that they were humiliated on their home coury by an inferior opponent this early in the season.....I suspect from the conclusion of this ugly game moving forward, we will not see a flat, disinterested team for the rest of the season.
