  1. NBC calling this "women's volleyball" when NBC can't even tell you what a WOMAN is.

  2. Has anyone told Bill Burr??

  3. That's an incredible show of support for the Lady Huskers program, very nice! The football program will come back, imo, it's just going to take some time.

  4. That’s how bad the football program is………

  5. Wow, how is that possible?

  6. Have you noticed that everything is staged and organic moments are a thing of the past?

  7. If people would actually watch and flock to all womens sports like what happened to this game then surely no one will ever talk about that HUGE PAY GAP between men and women sports.

  8. Historic moment, hope to see more of this type stuff in college sports

  9. Many of my friends and family were there. Drone light show, fireworks, all round great experience. Many drove across the state to make it.

  10. I think it is funny that Nebraska football has been playing in Memorial Stadium for a 100 years and that Women’s Volleyball team shows up one night and packs in more people than the football team ever did.

  11. How ironic
    92,000 is the average yearly attendance in the WNBA

  12. GO HUSKERS 🌽❤️🏐

  13. I love volleyball too, but Nebraska has a habit of buying up empty seats to “sell out” the stadium.

  14. But not paid attendance. Let that be clear. It IS NOT 92k paid attendees.

  15. It's so unbelievable to see more than thousands of people attending a women's volleyball match at the Memorial Stadium. What a new record!

  16. In 1983 Maracanã stadium host a volleyball match between Brazil vs. Soviet union with more than 100 thousand people

  17. Something here doesn't add up. And it certainly doesn't add up to 92,000!

  18. From above y'all look like red ants . Congratulations ( on the game… not for lookin' like insects..geez )

  19. All the athletes were real WOMEN. Let's go girls!

  20. 👧👩👩‍🦰👱‍♀️👩‍🦳👩‍⚖️👩‍🎓👩‍🍳👩‍🌾👩‍🔬👩‍💼👩‍🎤👩‍🎨👩‍💻👨‍🚀👩‍✈️🧑‍✈️👩‍🚒🥷🕵‍♀️🥷💂‍♀️🧕👸🧕🤵‍♀️🤰👩‍🍼🦸‍♀️🦹‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧝‍♀️🧛‍♀️👩‍🦽🏃‍♀️💃🏄‍♀️🏇🏊‍♀️🏋‍♀️🤼‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤽‍♀️👨‍👩‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👧‍👦✊💝😎

  21. So proud of our women's volleyball teams in America. Especially Nebraska. Some of theses ladies should represent America in the Olympics. GO HUSKERS! 🇺🇸

  22. And still can’t get a decent sandwich 😩

  23. Even tho this was to break a record, Volleyball is a woman sport people will watch not the wnba.

  24. GO BIG RED! 25% of the city showed up for the Volleyball game. Impressive!🏟🏐🏆🔴

  25. What else is there to do in Nebraska? Might as well watch a volleyball match.
