“It’s a great, great 24 hours for Husker Sports,” said Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook, after winning the season series against Wisconsin. However, the coach didn’t just say it because his team got to making attendance history at the Bob Devaney Center. Instead, Cook made the statement in reference to Nebraska’s football team finally ending their seven-year bowl drought.

For the first time since 2016, the Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s football team pulled off a historic triumph in front of 86,923 spectators at Memorial Stadium. However, the monumental result also added to Cook’s mental pressure heading into the season’s second match against the Badgers. “I’m so happy for football because I know how those guys feel,” said John Cook.

“To finally break through is an unbelievable feeling,” the veteran coach added following the Huskers’ 44-25 triumph against Wisconsin football. However, the mastermind behind Nebraska volleyball’s success also hoped his team could keep adding to the positive news. “We didn’t want to be the team that lost on senior night, lost when you had all this unbelievable momentum going,” confessed Cook.
