Nebraska volleyball is halfway through a four-game road swing. That now extends west, really west, as the Huskers head to new Big Ten members Oregon and Washington. Both games will tip after 9 p.m. CST, something John Cook is preparing his team for.

The Big Ten is deep into a competition to save lives. The We Give Blood Drive has Abbott and the Big Ten pitting school against school in the largest blood donation competition of our lifetime to fight the largest blood shortage in a generation. The drive continued today at Memorial Stadium, where I was able to catch up with Ellen Wichman from Abbott.

The latest numbers have Nebraska’s dominance continuing, nearly doubling-up second-place Wisconsin. UCLA, Michigan and Iowa round out the top five. For more information on this competition and to find out how to give with your donation counting to the school of your choice’s total, visit BigTen.org/Abbott.

Nebraska wrestling opens its season this Friday. Coach Mark Manning met with the media this week to preview the upcoming campaign.
