LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear reader,

Inarguably the best part of being editor-in-chief of the Daily Nebraskan is that I get to change rules and policies I don’t like.

This year, we made one change immediately: The DN no longer reports the names of students and others cited for minor alcohol and drug-related offenses.

Since my freshman year and long before it, the DN has published weekly cops briefs, a compilation of blurbs about on-campus crime. But the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus isn’t exactly a hub for gripping tales of murder, drug rings and intrigue.

So aside from odd crimes, reports of vandalism or theft and the occasional felonious offense, the roundup was basically a list of students cited for what I would call minor crimes – things like MIPs and possession of drug paraphernalia or less than an ounce of weed. The reports included the names of the students as well as their years and majors.

Some people told me the weekly cops briefs were the only thing they bothered to read in the DN, probably because it’s interesting to see if any of your acquaintances or one-time classmates got busted. But almost every week last year, I or our former editor-in-chief got a distraught phone call from a student or a student’s parent pleading with us to remove their name from our website.

It was obvious the reporting was doing our student body more disservice than service. College students often don’t boast much of a Web presence, so if potential employers and the like Google the name of an implicated student, the DN cops brief is nearly always included in the first page of results.

What’s more, the crimes for which these students were cited aren’t particularly newsworthy. They occur literally every day in Lincoln. The cited students are simply the handful who got caught among the herd of students who smoke weed and drink in their dorm rooms.

I don’t subscribe to the common “right to know” argument as a defense against voyeurism, especially when the information doesn’t really bring our newspaper any closer to its goal of informing students about their campus.

As long as I’m in charge, the DN isn’t going to ruin the career prospects of the readers we represent in exchange for page views.

I consulted with other members of senior staff, and we came to a consensus: While we may include MIPs and minor drug citations in our crime roundups, we won’t name the students involved unless they’re notable figures on campus. If a student is arrested, we will report on it and generally include his or her name. If a student is cited for any crime other than an MIP or minor drug citation, we use discretion in our reporting.

If you’re truly curious about the names of students cited for alcohol and drug violations, go ahead and call UNLPD at 402-472-2222 to request the report. It’s public information, after all. But that doesn’t mean it’s always worth sharing.

Sincerely, Jacy Marmaduke

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is one of seven dry campuses in the Big Ten. Five Big Ten institutions allow drinking to some degree, and representatives from some of those schools say the policy has resulted in fewer alcohol-related arrests and citations.

Wet campuses see fewer alcohol-related arrests story by Annie Bohling | Photos by Lynn Yen Big Ten Conference universities that allow oncampus alcohol consumption have the same general consensus: Students who want to drink are going to drink whether the rules say they can or cannot.

The theory is echoed by Patrick Wade, communications specialist for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

“If we even could end sales of alcohol near our campus, they would find it somewhere,” Wade said. “I think the best thing we can do is provide

a safe, controlled and supervised environment instead of creating an adversarial environment.”

UI is classified as a wet campus rather than a dry one, but Wade doesn’t like the term.

“We only enforce normal liquor laws on and around campus without further restriction,” he said.

In 2013, the UI campus police department arrested 120 people for liquor law violations. For the same violations, 496 referrals were given to students.

But Wade said the numbers are complex and difficult to draw conclusions from. The same goes for any campus. All universities must align their annual campus security reports with the Jeanne Clery Act, which Wade said can over-simplify statistics.

“A huge portion of our students live in private apartments,” Wade said. “We also have a lot of activity at local bars, which are located in areas near campus but which would be considered offcampus.”

But the numbers are convenient and tempting to compare for what they’re worth.

Within the Big Ten, on-campus alcohol is banned at Indiana University, the University of Iowa, the University of Minnesota, Purdue University, Northwestern University, Michigan State University and the University of NebraskaLincoln. By contrast, drinking is allowed to some degree at the campuses of Pennsylvania State

In 2012, UNL ranked 38th in MIP citations › EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was originally published April 9, 2014. › MADISON WURTELE DN The University of Nebraska–Lincoln ranked 38 out of the top 50 institutions with the most oncampus alcohol arrests per 1,000 students in 2012, according to a Rehabs.com study.

UNL moved up from No. 48 in 2011 and is one of five Big Ten Conference schools to make the list. The study used the latest data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education and included institutions with a minimum of 5,000 students and residence halls on campus that receive federal financial aid.

At Jake’s, optimism prevails despite looming cigar ban ANNIE BOHLING DN

If the day comes when cigars can be sold but not smoked in Jake’s Cigars and Spirits in Lincoln, manager Jason “Hutch” Hutchison expects a dive in sales. But he’s not pessimistic.

“If we lose smoking, it’s not going to be as bad as people think,” Hutchison said.

Jake’s and 10 other venues in the state were issued special “cigar bar” licenses after Nebraska banned indoor smoking in 2008. But in September, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled those exemptions unconstitutional. If it sticks to its decision, which has been challenged, places like Jake’s will have 30 last smoke-filled days from the moment the court says, “Go.” Hutchison assumes the Supreme Court justices won’t change their minds.

“We’ve rolled with the punches for 15 years,” Hutchison said. “There’s been times when things were really thin, and now things are really booming.”

When cigar smoking was introduced to Jake’s, Hutchison said cigars accounted for 11 percent of sales. Now, it’s about 21 or 22 percent.

“It definitely had a positive impact,” Hutchison said. “Worst case scenario, it’ll be that 10 to 11 percent we’ll lose that we gained, which would suck. Best case scenario, we’ll lose about 5 to 7 percent.”

Nick Simpson calls Jake’s his second home.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln senior advertising and public relations major has been a regular at the bar since he moved from his hometown, Norfolk, at 18 years old.

“If someone is about to spend $50 on a nice cigar, it’s a shame that they’d have to smoke it outside, away from their drinks, away from a comfortable chair,” Simpson said. “They have to sit on a bench. It’s cold out. They couldn’t really enjoy it to its fullest.”

Hutchison said Jake’s will take the biggest hit in the cold winter months, when cigar smokers escape at Jake’s.

“The thought is maybe we’ll lose a chunk of people who come here specifically for the smoking, but maybe we’ll gain some people who are like, ‘Man, I’ve heard that place is really neat, but I just can’t stand the smoke, so I don’t go there,’” Hutchison said.

Kiah McCarville, 23, might be one of those people. McCarville specifically doesn’t visit Jake’s because the smoke makes her feel dizzy and sick.

“It’s not like it’s a hard thing to avoid it,” she said. “I just don’t go there because I know that there’s smoke. But it doesn’t piss me off like, ‘Gosh, I can’t go to this bar because there’s smoke.

I can’t wait until it gets banned.’ That’s just kind of stupid I think.”

McCarville is sympathetic toward Jake’s because she said she thinks the smoking ban will

Jake’s Cigars and Spirits patrons say they’ll keep coming back to Jake’s because of its friendly atmosphere, even if the Nebraska Supreme Court’s ban on cigar-smoking in bars goes into effect. hurt the business.

“There’s so many bars in Lincoln – new bars all the time,” McCarville said. “Everything has its niche, and so it’s like the smoking bar, so that kind of sets them apart.”

Manager Hutchison isn’t a smoker either, but he, too, wants his customers to have a home for their habit.

“Places like this one are designated,” Hutchison said. “It says it on the door. Jake’s Cigars and Spirits. You are fully aware you’re stepping into a place where smoking occurs. The Nebraska

Clean Air Act is designed to protect people from secondhand smoke, and truth be told the majority of people who come in here are coming here for firsthand smoke.”

Despite the projected decrease in cigar sales, Jake’s has something extra to keep customers coming back. Simpson said it’s the music, the atmosphere and the people.

“Everyone is kind of like a family here, and everyone’s really friendly,” Simpson said. “So I think that’s enough of a reason to keep them coming back. Either way, this is still my home base. I’ll

still come here.”

Hutchison is confident about the future of the business.

“We’ve built a great brand here,” he said. “You can be sitting next to a table full of senators and lobbyists and right next to them is a table full of students or skateboarders or hipsters and everybody gets along. It’s that kind of embracing, family mentality that we have here. We’ll embrace our identity. That’s Jake’s.”

“I think it is higher than it should be,” said Katie McMullen, a junior chemistry major. “I know it happens, but I’ve heard of it happening more at other schools.”

Other students attribute the high numbers to strict enforcement.

“I think it’s normal to drink on campus, and I think the cops should just let it happen, but I don’t think there’s a problem,” said Kelsey Thorpe, a senior chemistry major.

While the study indicates that there’s an increase in alcohol related incidents, Koan Nissen, the education and personnel officer for the UNL campus police, said the university is providing students the information they need on alcohol safety.

“The university as a whole makes very positive strides in educating students, faculty and staff on the dangers associated with alcohol abuse,” Nissen said. “Everybody seems to be doing their

fair share to keep this campus safe.”

Evans said the best thing students can do is become more aware of the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse.

“Students need to educate themselves on their own alcohol use and challenging their own beliefs about what alcohol use looks like on campus,” she said.

ALCOHOL: FROM 5 of age.

But Zaborowski said UNL being a dry campus didn’t affect its ranking.

“The citations have nothing to do with the fact that we are a dry campus,” he said. “Even if we were a wet campus, the reality is students under the age of 21 are not allowed to drink alcohol.”

Some UNL students recognize that on-campus drinking is a part of college life, but they still find the study alarming.

How UNLPD handles MIPs by the hundreds University Police issues up to 350 MIPs each year, mostly to students who are ‘drawing attention’ to themselves ALI PAASCH DN Liquor law violations have fluctuated throughout the years at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but the nature of underage drinking hasn’t changed, said UNL Police Department Sgt. Douglas Petersen.

“This year we have had an on-campus death due to alcohol and some reported sexual assaults that have involved alcohol,” he

said. “(Underage drinking) is still there.”

UNLPD has issued eight minor in possession citations this month. Generally, the number of MIPs each week ranges from six to more than 12, and UNLPD issues between 250 and 350 each year. The offenses occur

on campus or in-campus housing, including Abel Hall, Harper Hall, Eastside Suites, Kappa Delta sorority house and Schramm Hall.

When the resident assistants or resident directors call UNLPD with noise complaints, UNLPD has a standard procedure for issuing MIPs in the dorms.

“We knock on the door, and when someone answers we tell them what we’re there for,” Petersen said. “We ask to come in, and if alcohol is seen in plain view or their demeanor looks or acts drunk, we go from there.”

Football gamedays can cause a spike in MIPs. UNLPD responds and issues MIPs usually after the game ends.

Police received 62 alcohol-related calls and issued 10 MIPs the night of the Miami game, Petersen said.

In Nebraska, underage drinking is only allowed if the underage drinker is older than 16 and consuming alcohol in a parent or guardian’s home. Nebraska follows the Good Samaritan Law in regard to alcohol, which provides legal protection for people who help a minor whose life is in danger.

Last year, the Association of Students of University of Nebraska’s Ignite Party proposed as a campaign platform a plan that would allow students who get their first MIP to take a university diversion class. The citation would be kept on record but wouldn’t go to the City of Lincoln and would likely not be able to be traced by future employers. But ASUN President Kevin Knudson said leaders haven’t been pursuing the proposal.

If UNLPD decides a minor is unable to take care of himself or herself, the minor

might be taken to The Bridge Behavioral Health, the city’s detox center. If no one older than 19 years old can come and take care of the person, he or she is taken to detox. Once at detox, the individual has three options: to stay until he can blow a zero blood alcohol level in to a Breathalyzer, refuse to be blow into a Breathalyzer and remain there for 24 hours or call someone sober who’s older than 19 years old to be checked out, Petersen said.

UNLPD officers watch party buses load and unload.

If people are getting on the bus with something in their hand, “We will probably check it out,” Petersen said.

“If someone is getting on or off the bus not causing a problem, can walk OK, not falling over, not drawing attention to themselves, etc., we won’t stop and talk to you,” he said.

Crime Log: Drunk man falls on face on P Street JACOB ELLIOTT DN

An intoxicated man fell on his face at the intersection of P Street and Centennial Mall at 2:06 a.m.

Saturday. The man was taken to Bryan Health West for non-life threatening injuries.

Also on Saturday, University of NebraskaLincoln Police cited two minors for being under the influence of alcohol, police said.

The first incident occurred at 1 a.m. at the intersection of N. 17th and Q streets. A UNL student was seen displaying signs of extreme impairment due to alcohol consumption. The student was issued a citation for minor in possession and a fake ID and then was taken to The Bridge Behavioral Health with .193 blood alcohol content.

The second incident occurred at 2:43 a.m. on 1130 N. 14th St. in Schramm Hall. The student was contacted for being intoxicated, issued a citation for MIP-C and then released.

In separate incidents: – A vehicle was stopped at 2:29 a.m. because of a DWI on N. 14th and R streets. Both the driver and passenger were found to be intoxicated after they were stopped for a traffic violation. The driver was issued a citation for DUI and negligent driving before both the driver and the passenger were turned over to The Bridge.

– A UNL student requested a report for a theft outside of the country, which had occurred between Oct. 17 and Oct. 24. While the UNLPD is unable to do anything but document the case, the report would allow other individuals to act upon the information.

A projected increase to Parking and Transit Services fees would increase the fee to $32.04. Officials say the increase will fund additional bus routes to and from Innovation Campus.

Innovation Campus bus route would raise student fees KELLIE WASIKOWSKI

DN Student parking and transit fees are projected to increase 27 percent next year as University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials work transit to the Innovation Campus into existing schedules.

Right now, each student pays $25.09 per semester in transit services fees. With the projected increase of $6.95 per semester in transit fees to accommodate the new routes and service, the 2015-2016 student fee for transit is projected to be $32.04 per semester.

The Association of the Students of the University of Nebraska’s Committee for Fees Allo-

cation hosted a public meeting Thursday, Oct. 30 regarding the bus services that will run to and from both East and City campuses to Innovation Campus.

The transit plan parking leaders selected will create two new routes to NIC: one from City Campus and one from East Campus. Two buses will be on the route from City Campus, which will travel by the bus hubs on Vine Street.

One bus will travel from Innovation Campus to East Campus, and unlike the current route that travels entirely around East Campus, the route from East Campus to Innovation Campus will only stop at Burr-Fedde Hall and then turn back

around.

Another proposed route included traveling to all three campuses in a single direction instead of having buses travel in both directions.

Dan Carpenter, director of Parking and Transit Services, said the goal of the new services to Innovation Campus is to retain the 10-minute headways that buses currently have between campuses, so the single route devised for travel among all three campuses proved to be too long.

Earlier this year, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the $4.1 million, dollar five-year contract with StarTran, which will

allow for the purchase of four new buses. Three of them will be circulating every day and one will be a spare bus.

In the proposed contract, the recommended funding option came in two parts: half from campus funds that include parking and student transit fees and the other half in a small increase in the student University Program and Facilities Fee. “Since it’s going to start the last two years of the current contract, we kind of tried to get lower fees there so we didn’t see a big jump again,”

Student group hosts week on men’s issues Men at Nebraska holds M@n Week to educate campus population on men’s health, issues, societal expectations NEWS DESK DN Men at Nebraska is hosting a slew of events this week to educate students about men’s health and issues.

M@n Week starts on Monday at 11:45 a.m. with the The Man Box display in the Nebraska Union Crib, co-hosted by DNewsmakers.

The event allows guests to experience a lifesized representation of the stereotypes that limit men’s lives.

On Tuesday, coordinator for fraternity life Luke Bretscher, law professor Brian Lepard, broadcasting professor Rick Alloway and

College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Associate Dean Dann Husmann will discuss how leaders in male-dominated fields think about gender and prepare their students to work with individuals of all genders. The event will be held in the Nebraska Union Regency Rooms from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Later that night will be the Sex & Pizza: Sexpectations Workshop at 7 p.m. in the Ubuntu Room of the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center. Sexpectations is an interactive workshop that discusses societal stereotypes as well as the behaviors and attitudes people seek in their romantic and platonic relationships.

On Wednesday is a discussion titled “How Has Your Life Differed From Your Father ’s?” in the Nebraska Union Room 340 at 1 p.m. The discussion will reflect on how one generation’s experiences are different from the perceived experience of the previous generation. People of all generations and genders are welcome to share their perspectives at this event.

Later that evening is a free climbing night

Police continue to investigate reported sexual assault ANNIE BOHLING DN A University of Nebraska-Lincoln student told university police last week she was raped in her dorm room at Abel Hall.

The student reported the crime to police at the station on Saturday evening, though it was a belated report, meaning the incident happened at an earlier time.

“At this time we’re not going to release the exact time when it happened,” UNLPD Sgt. Zach Byers said. “With a sex offense or a rape, any information can be enough to tip someone off.”

According to the report, the student told police a UNL student sexually assaulted her in her dorm room after a night of drinking.

Byers said it’s unclear whether the student who made the report, the suspect or both had been drinking alcohol.

From here, the investigation of the reported rape continues.

“We’ll speak with the victim,” Byers said.

“We’ll do interviews with the suspect, possible witnesses, people who were with the suspect or the victim earlier in the night.”

Byers said many factors influence the investigation. He said more investigators will take a closer look at the case on Monday, the start of the work week for most of the division.

The student consented to a sexual assault nurse examiner exam, or S.A.N.E. exam, conducted by a forensic nurse.

The UNLPD website encourages students who have been sexually assaulted or physically harmed to contact the police department from the location where the assault occurred or a safe location.

Victims are also encouraged to contact university housing officials as well as the local victim service office, Voices of Hope, at 402-475-7273, or the University Health Center ’s counseling services at 402-472-5000 NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

PARKING: FROM 8 Carpenter said. “So there will be an increase, but it’s not going to be a jump, it will just be a steady increase.”

There have been several similar increases in transit services during the last half-decade. In 2012, StarTran began its contract with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to operate their bus services, and that year, students paid $9 per semester in transit student fees. During the next few years, to account for the increased expenses to hire an outside contractor, student transit fees rose from $9 per semester in 2011-2012 to $15.46 per semester in 2012-2013. In 2013-2014, the fee

increased to $25.09 per semester, and this academic year students pay $26.63 per semester. In all, Parking and Transit fees have jumped about 200 percent since 2011.

Carpenter said while the contract did cause an increase in student fees, it’s imperative that the university contracts StarTran. Through the partnership, StarTran is in charge of hiring bus operators and bus maintenance, which was previously the university’s responsibility, and StarTran has the facilities and resources to easily execute this operation.

While none of the increase in fees is solidi-

fied yet, the transit subcommittee will continue to evaluate different funding sources, and they hope to receive more campus fees to alleviate the increase in student fees. Then the Parking Advisory committee will review their final proposal and write up a budget request to be presented to the Committee for Fees Allocation in January.

Bus services have seen a 9 percent increase in ridership since Fall 2013, which shows the importance of having an efficient public transit service, officials said.

With more than 50 classes expected to be hosted at Innovation Campus in its integral year,

Daniel Duncan, executive director of Innovation Campus, said the increase in funding is imperative to ensure easy access to the new campus.

“The service is being developed to allow students easy access to Nebraska Innovation Campus,” Duncan said. “Students needs to be an integral part of the Innovation Campus, and we are very excited to have bus service start for the next academic year. Easy movement of people is critical to developing a culture of innovation.”

WET CAMPUS: FROM 4 versity, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois and Ohio State University.

There’s one constant pattern at wet universities: Far more students violating liquor laws are given referrals than citations. Referrals are usually given to students who live on campus by security officers or officials within student housing.

Sgt. Robert Soichet of the University of Michigan Police Department said there’s a reason for this pattern.

“I think the housing division would prefer to keep alcohol as educational as possible,” Soichet said. “The police – we only have certain latitude.

Once we get called in we usually have to give them a citation.”

A citation from police means a ticket for a minor in possession. A referral from student housing means the student is referred to some sort of educational program or form or punishment.

At UM, student housing has security in the dorms and it’s up to them how they handle the situation that they initially respond to.

“If they can’t get cooperation, then they call the police,” Soichet said.

He said any student being contacted for an alcohol-related violation is probably bringing attention to themselves, like being loud or drunk in public.

Wade said the campus housing department is proactive in its alcohol education, and the police officers are effective in how they enforce liquor laws.

“The university as a whole is very good in addressing issues before they become a problem,” Wade said. “All students must attend alcohol awareness programming, and there’s a lot of ongoing messaging as they go through their years at school. We have numerous campus units that deal with alcohol-related issues, and I think all of this makes for a safe and respectful learning and research environment.”

As for UNL, a wet campus doesn’t look to be in the future of the school.

Last year, UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said the dry campus policy won’t change soon.

“There’s been conversation about (policy change) over the years, mostly from students,” Perlman said, “but it’s not been seriously considered.”

Last year, 424 UNL students were arrested for alcohol-related reasons. Referrals were given to 383 students for similar offenses. At UI, 426 students were arrested in 2012, and 941 were given referrals in that same year.

Some dry campuses allow alcohol under special circumstances. Penn State permits it at home football games, Ohio States sells alcohol at the student union bar and the University of Wisconsin allows of-age drinking at some special events.

“We want our students to enjoy their free time as long as they do it in a way that is both responsible and respectful of each other, our campus and the law,” Wade said.

Although University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials are aware students drink on campus, Chancellor Harvey Perlman said he’s never seriously considered suggestions to make UNL a wet campus.

ASUN seeks to eliminate Styrofoam on campus The initiative will start small, with ASUN members working with residence associations and Greek chapters KELLIE WASIKOWSKI DN The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska wants to rid the University of Nebraska-Lincoln of Styrofoam.

“It would be to the benefit of students because the (Environmental Protection Organization) has identified Styrofoam as a potential carcinogen,” said Seamus Mulcahy, a sophomore environmental studies and political science major. Mulcahy is also a member of ASUN’s Environmental Sustainability Committee which proposed the initiative, Senate Resolution #5, during the senate meeting Wednesday.

The committee has found styrofoam to be toxic to a number of animals and aquatic life, Mulcahy said, “We already know that research says it takes a minimum of 100 years, and some research says it takes up to 1 million years to decompose or to break down,” he said.

Mulcahy said UNL wouldn’t be the first

university to support this type of initiative because many other universities in the nation, including Auburn University and Washington University, already have at least partial styrofoam bans in place in dining halls and campus eateries. But this project will start with smaller levels of government, such as residence associations and Greek chapters.

As alternatives, Mulcahy said the project would substitute plant-based materials instead of Styrofoam.

“Part of the education campaign is to provide folks with alternatives and to help teach them to use alternatives as opposed to saying ‘don’t use that’,” said ASUN Student Services Chairman Sen. Spencer Hartman, a sophomore agricultural economics major.

ASUN also passed Senate Resolution #4, which encourages the Greek system to recycle and be energy efficient.

“It’s a simple thing that I think can make a big difference, and it’s kind of like an untapped resource that we haven’t fully communicated to,” said ASUN Environmental Leadership Program Chairwoman Morgan Battes, a junior natural resource and environmental economics major.

Battes said she plans to meet with representatives from the Panhellenic Organization, Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council and the National Panhellenic Council this week.

Both resolutions passed unanimously.

Nebraska adds to win streak with victory against Indiana during weekend, hasn’t dropped set in 4 games

Sophomore outside hitter Amber Rolfzen attempts to notch a kill against Indiana on Saturday at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers have upped the win streak to four matches.

o. 13 Nebraska has had four sweeps in a row, putting the team’s overall record at 16-7. It’s left fans wondering, what’s changed since the beginning of November?

“That’s a great question, I lay awake at night wondering,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “How do we keep it going?”

On Saturday night, the Huskers defeated Indiana 3-0 in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The match was a white out; every fan in attendance received a free T-shirt. Cook said the turnout was incredible, and the team was excited to have such a supportive fan base, but it messed with serving throughout the game.

“Everybody had trouble serving tonight,” Cook said after the match. “They said it threw them off looking into all that white. I didn’t think either team served very tough tonight.

(The white out) might have been a part of it.”

But still, Cook said the team was offensively on its game throughout the match despite the difficulties it may have faced with the white out. Senior setter Mary Pollmiller in particular was able to take advantage of opportunities to get some kills.

“They weren’t blocking her, so we told her (to) throw it down,” Cook said. “We’re going to keep doing that until they start blocking her.”

And Pollmiller ’s confidence level?

“It was high,” Pollmiller said. “The bench was telling me where to go at the end, and it

was great.”

In the first set, the team hit .833 percent hitting clip. For sophomore outside hitter Amber Rolfzen, that was a rewarding statistic to hear about.

“I think it proves that we’re being aggressive, and we’re not afraid to go up and go for it,” Rolfzen said. “We were being really aggressive throughout the whole match and the first set especially, and it just kept working for us.”

Cook said the Huskers’ blocking was also much improved during the match. It impacted Indiana’s hitters and stopped them from getting set-winning points. Cook also said when Nebraska played Ohio State, the team was reaching high and getting used for easy points.

“We’ve been working really hard on trying to stay low and not get used on those hits, and we did really good job,” Cook said. “If you’re undisciplined, you get used. We made a nice adjustment there.”

Cook said he hopes to keep up the confidence and see the winning streak continue.

He may not be sure what exactly stopped the inconsistencies since the beginning of November, but he said he hopes to see the improvements stick.

“This team plays at a really high level when they want to, and that’s what we’ve got to continue to have here going down the stretch,” Cook said.

NU coach commends former player’s resilence NICK WILKINSON DN The accident happened when Southwest Minnesota State coach Brad Bigler ’s wife, Heather Bigler, was driving him, their 5-monthold son, Drake, and Heather ’s grandmother down Minnesota Highway 29 in a 2008 GMC Acadia.

A drunk driver in a 2005 Dodge truck swerved into Bigler ’s lane and hit the Acadia head on. Heather suffered minor injuries, while her grandmother and husband were listed in critical condition.

The baby died.

Later that week when Bigler lay in a hospital bed, Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles drove the 293 miles to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Bigler, as Miles’ first starting point guard when he coached at Southwest Minnesota State from 1997 to 2001, was treated just like other point guards.

Miles said he’s always tough on his point guards.

“Brad is so grounded in the right things, he has been through so much on a personal level that he has his guys right where he wants them,” Miles said. “I admire him and respect him as a kid who played for us and as a coach.”

All those moments at Southwest Minnesota State and sitting there next to his broken former player rushed back to Miles Nov. 6 at Pinnacle Bank Arena. There he was, the man with broken ribs in the bed was crouched down in his powder blue shirt and dandelion yellow tie preaching to his players.

“I thought coach Bigler and his team did an outstanding job,” Miles said. “They came out, and they were much looser and aggressive. They did a great job defensively.”

Miles said his former point guard and his team did a really nice job of their game plan and knew exactly who they needed to stop.

“We kept chess-matching it and did a really good job of matching their guys to ours. I really compliment Brad and Southwest Minnesota State on the job they did,” Miles said.

Bigler said he was so thankful his team got to play Nebraska.

“When we get those opportunities from a Division II standpoint, it’s just very nice for our guys. I’m very thankful for coach Miles letting us come over there,” Bigler said.

Bigler said Nebraska woke up a little bit for the second half and got a lot of turnovers for touchdowns, as he likes to call it.

“Nebraska is obviously a very talented and athletic team,” Bigler said. “They really did what they were supposed to do.”

Miles said the game was a good learning experience for both of their teams and him.

“You know what you are going to get when you play Brad and Southwest State,” Miles said. “I just commend those guys on their performance. They were having a lot of fun, they came out loose and ready to play.”

bones, he said he could never forget the shining sun reflecting off his former coach and friend’s glasses.

NU optmistic for sellout streak to continue Huskers keep adding to NCAA record of most consecutive sellouts, which began in 1962 CHRIS BOWLING DN 1962 was a big year for Nebraska football.

Under the guidance of the now legendary coach Bob Devaney, the Huskers went 9-2, with a Gotham bowl victory against the Miami Hurricanes. It would be the first of 40 consecutive winning seasons in Nebraska, establishing a new era of Husker football under Devaney. And, along with that era came a record that Nebraska still holds and continues to compile to this day.

Nebraska is the national record holder for consecutive sellout games. The Huskers are at 339, which all started in the homecoming game against Missouri on Nov. 3, 1962.

“Coach Devaney came from Wyoming and turned around the success of the program, and the crowd and fan interest just followed with it,” said Keith Mann, head of media relations. “It’s been a streak that, as it’s gotten longer, the attention to it and the pride taken in it continues to grow.”

The pride in the record now is at an alltime high as it’s announced at some point every game, but it wasn’t always that way.

The first time the Huskers celebrated the record was at the 200 mark in their 1994 season and after that, at 300 in the 2009 season.

A large part of this new interest came from growth in the culture for Husker football that coincided with the growth of the stadium itself.

In the 1962 season, Memorial Stadium was pretty unrecognizable compared to the arena of today. In those days, the stadium only held 31,000, but after several appendages were added, including bleachers in the north and south ends, as well as luxury boxes, the stadium now holds around 92,000.

Mann said he sees this as a testament to the durability and growth of the program.

That, despite the stadium’s growth, the streak has continued.

Despite the pride surrounding the record, however, some call into question its legitimacy as there are several games where fans notice large areas of empty seats. Mann said this is because of several different reasons, one of which is unpredictable student fans.

“Occasionally, we’ve sold out student seats, but there are games where a few students don’t come depending on game time or whatever the case is,” Mann said.

In addition, visiting teams often purchase tickets for their fans who don’t always make the trip to the game.

“Sometimes there’s a pocket of empty seats where the visiting team has taken those tickets and sold them, but some of those peo-

(four per player maximum) or any other complimentary tickets for recruits, special guests, etc.

For Mann and the rest of the athletic department, the record is more than a number that grows game-by-game. It’s a reminder of where they’ve come from, the tradition they’ve established and all the people and work that went into making that record a reality. And, along with a large part of Husker football fans, they hope it doesn’t stop here.

“It’s something that the athletic department takes great pride in and the fans take great pride in and we think it will continue well into the future,” Mann said.

UP POSTING STORY BY AUSTIN MOYLAN | NEBRASKA PLANS TO IMPROVE INSIDE GAME

P

lay the game “inside-out.”

It’s one of the more established and well-known philosophies in the sport of basketball and is a method that coaches have been preaching for decades. Get the ball to the post players and score at the rim, then work your way out from there.

Most coaches would agree that scoring in the paint is essential to the offensive success of a basketball team, whether it results from guards off drives and cuts or from post players off post moves and rolls to the rim.

The importance of lane-play also applies to the defensive end of the floor, where the ability and desire to rebound and protect the basket can make or break a team.

Despite a fast-paced transition game that in recent years has come to virtually define the program, the 2014-2015 Nebraska women’s basketball team knows the significance of post play and the ability to get rebounds.

After all, the transition game is usually sparked by a big rebound.

“I think we can be a really good rebounding team,” sophomore center Allie Havers said. “To me, rebounding is all about effort. We have a lot of kids on our team that put in the effort, and if that is there, I think we will be fine when it comes to rebounding.”

The effort off the glass will be even more important to the Huskers after losing one of their leading rebounders from last season, Jordan Hooper.

“We were a really good rebounding team,” senior forward Hailie Sample said. “That was, in part, because of Jordan Hooper. So without her, one of the things we will need to really work on is rebounding as a team because she got a lot of the rebounds herself. We need to come together and rebound well as a group.”

Havers agreed, “We just have to crash the boards with everybody.”

Even without Hooper, the Huskers are fortunate to have a lot of experience and young talent in the post, something that should really help the team as it goes through the season.

Sample and senior forward Emily Cady have each started all 100 games since they came to Nebraska. Cady led the team in rebounding per game by a tenth of a rebound more than Hooper last season with 9.2 boards per contest.

She also has 22 double-doubles in her career, tied for fifth-best in program history. Sample was third on the team with 6.4 rebounds per game and is a defensive specialist for the Huskers.

In addition to the two seniors, Havers said

she looks to also be a force in the paint this season. At 6 feet 5 inches, she’s easily the tallest player on the team and will be seeing an increased role this year.

“My biggest contributions will definitely involve rebounding. That’s one of my number ones,” Havers said. “Doing the little things, setting screens, being a great defensive player and taking the shots that I should.”

Sample, Cady and Havers will also receive some help from 6-feet-3 transfer forward Anya Kalenta who joined the Huskers for her junior season.

The four will be a large part of what Nebraska does in the paint this season, and Havers sees it as a very capable group.

“I think the front line is going to be really strong,” Havers said. “Emily and Hailie are really great players, and I am obviously pretty tall.

Emily is really athletic. Hailie is just very strong.

I think we each have our own strengths, and as a group, we will be very versatile.”

Beyond rebounding, Nebraska can expect solid scoring from their forwards this season as well. During the exhibition game against Wayne State on Nov. 2, Cady led the team in scoring with 20 points and had 11 rebounds. Nebraska also got 10 points and five rebounds from Havers in only 14 minutes off the bench. Cady, Havers and Sample combined to shoot a solid 13-19 from the field during the game and scored 36 of the team’s 84 points.

Nebraska also outrebounded the Wildcats 47-31, an encouraging start to the season on the boards for the Huskers.

While Nebraska will surely run the floor this season and shoot plenty of midrange jumpers and three-pointers, they will depend on consistency inside from the team’s biggest and strongest players to be most successful. The Huskers will likely look to work through their post players in the half-court offense to increase ball movement and efficiency. They will also depend on their post players to play strong defense inside, protect the rim and pull down rebounds to start the always-dangerous Husker transition game.

Nebraska’s ability to play ‘inside-out’ basketball this season will be an interesting subplot to watch and will likely be a significant part of any success the team has.

Nebraska tips off the regular season against Pepperdine on Saturday at the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Husker senior reflects on college career Forward Mayme Conroy finsihed her final season of soccer, looks to continue in sport CHRIS BOWLING DN It’s hard for Mayme Conroy to believe it’s all over. With the 2014 women’s soccer season coming to a close, the end of the season award announcements follow, and this year, senior forward Conroy was named to All-Big Ten second team for the second time since 2012.

Two years ago, Conroy got a paper certificate for the honor, and she doesn’t think this year will be any different. The big thing that sets this award apart is that there’s no possibility of winning it again next season because as of Oct. 31, Conroy has played her last game for Nebraska.

But despite how crazy it is for her to grasp that this experience is coming to an end, Conroy said she’s happy she was able to earn the award. She contributes a lot of her success to good communication.

“I think you have to have leadership on and off the field and be a good communicator and contribute positively to your team,” Conroy said. “A lot of it goes to my teammates ,and they led to a lot of my success.”

After not winning the award last year, it would have been easy for Conroy to make it a top priority for her senior year, but she was much more concerned with helping her team reach its goals. She said she just strived to play her best and do whatever she could for the team, and if that led to an award such as All-Big Ten second team that would be great, too.

As far as what might have went differently this year for her to obtain the honor she missed in 2013, Conroy isn’t sure. Mostly, she said it has to do with things beyond her control such as the team’s competition. She also said this year the girls were especially close knit, which led to a lot of success as individuals and as a team.

“We weren’t focused on individual goals as much as team goals and I think that was good,” Conroy said. “Unfortunately, we made a few crucial mistakes and didn’t get to where we wanted to be this year, but I am still extremely proud and grateful for all the girls and wouldn’t have wanted to play with any other team.”

But what’s on Conroy’s mind more than anything else is that she’s saying goodbye to a journey with soccer that’s lasted 18 years.

Conroy, who grew up in Lincoln and moved to Omaha in the fifth grade, started playing soccer at 4 years old through the Capital Soccer Association, a premier soccer club located in Lincoln. As time went on, and the prospect of playing college approached,

Conroy started looking at Nebraska. It quickly became a second home for her.

“The coaches were very welcoming and humble, and the university had so much more to offer than just soccer so I thought it would be a great fit for me,” Conroy said.

“Academics were unreal with the amount of

support and tutors you get as athletes.”

Now, as she looks to post-graduation, Conroy doesn’t have any concrete plans as far as soccer goes. For now her focus is on her career in child youth and family sciences, but she said she knows that wherever she goes she wants to make soccer a part of her life.

“I know I either want to coach or keep playing somehow because it’s been a part of my life for 18 years it’s crazy that it’s all over,” Conroy said.

Bye week roundtable: take 2 Football staff writers discuss West division race, Ohio State, Michigan State game, which Husker needs strong finish ERIC BERTRAND, JOSH KELLY AND AUSTIN MOYLAN DN Eric Bertrand: We’ve talked a lot about the college playoff this year, so let’s get away from that a little bit. Why don’t we just focus on the Big Ten West for now. Four teams are in contention for the West title: Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. The kicker on all these teams will mostly be going up against the other three to wrap up the season. Here’s my question, who wins the West and a quick summary of how that team does it?

Austin Moylan: I am going to assume that Minnesota’s 51-14 victory agianst Iowa yesterday all but knocks the Hawkeyes out of the race, leaving Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska to battle it out. The three teams each play one another between now and the end of the season, so a lot will be decided over the next three weeks. Most likely, the team that finishes its season 3-0 will take the West. Minnesota must play Ohio State followed by two road games versus Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Winning all three of those games is an immensely tall order for a team that lost to Illinois only two weeks ago. So let’s count the Gophers out. That leaves Nebraska and Wisconsin, who play this week in Madison. I think Nebraska’s experience of coming so close to winning a road game at Michigan State earlier this season will only help the Huskers, who will have plenty of motivation to prove a growing number of doubters wrong. The bye week also came at a great time for Nebraska, as they were able to both rest senior running back Ameer Abdullah’s injured knee, as well as attempt to fix some of the mistakes that have plagued the Huskers over the last few weeks. I think the combination of a hungry team well overdue for a big road victory under Nebraska coach Bo Pelini and the well-timed bye week will be enough for Nebraska to come away with a win. From there, the West will be Nebraska’s to lose, and I just cannot see them being surprised by Minnesota or Iowa in its final two games. That means the Huskers will have a chance to end their conference title drought (one that hasn’t seen them win a conference since last century) on Dec. 6 in Indianapolis.

Josh Kelly: I’m going with Nebraska. I do believe that anything can happen with this division. That’s extremely evident with the roller coaster that Iowa has put its fans on this season.

The reason why Nebraska is the front-runner is because it’s the one that’s favored in each of the remaining matchups. The division is going to come down to next Saturday’s game against Wisconsin in Madison. Nebraska’s defense, who has seen progress throughout the entire season, will minimize the damage from Wisconsin’s offense. If the Huskers load the box against Melvin Gordon and force Joel Stave to pass, Nebraska should be able to come out on top. The Badgers also have Tanner McEvoy as a viable option at quarterback, but he isn’t a passer; he’s a runner. You throw McEvoy in, and you have an even more one-

Armstrong led the Huskers in rushing with 70 yards on the ground and a touchdown carry. dimensional offense for Wisconsin, which is easier for defenses to adjust to. With the remaining two games, it helps that Nebraska is facing Minnesota at Memorial Stadium, where the team is undefeated this season. And then with the Iowa game the day after, Thanksgiving, I think it’s going to be a close one, but the Huskers should come out on top for that as well. The bare minimum for Nebraska is to beat Wisconsin and Minnesota or Iowa to own the tie-breaker. Minnesota and Iowa have already shown many weaknesses this season, which has led to upsets, something that Nebraska has avoided this year.

EB: I have to disagree with both of you.

Minnesota’s schedule is too much for that team to handle, and Iowa would have to win out and have a lot of help from the other teams. They’re out, too. I see Wisconsin as winner of the West.

With quarterback Joel Stave coming back, the team just seems to be hitting its groove. The Badgers should be able win out. Let’s shift to the East, what was the biggest takeaway from the Ohio State and Michigan State game?

JK: My biggest takeaway is that Ohio State

is back to being Ohio State. The Buckeyes finally faced a test after losing to Virginia Tech in early September. Other than the game against Penn State, they have been rolling through their opponents. The x-factor for Ohio State’s rise is because of the play by quarterback J.T. Barrett. In his second career start against Virginia Tech, he threw three interceptions.

In the seven games since then, he has only thrown three interceptions. He really solidified himself on Saturday against a good Michigan State defense.

In the 49-37 win he passed for 300 yards and ran 86 yards. He had five total touchdowns and no turnovers on the road against a top-10 program.

There was some concern with him at the beginning of the season, but now he has proven that Ohio State is able to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff. With a relatively soft schedule, the Buckeyes should be able to win out, giving the Big Ten Conference the solid contender it needs.

AM: Ohio State is legit. Since losing to Virginia Tech in September, the Buckeyes have just been beating up on a lot of average-to-bad teams. They have flown largely under the national radar after starting the season ranked in the top five. Most

everyone agreed they were steadily improving as freshman quarterback JT Barrett become more comfortable with his responsibilities, but few knew just how well he was taking hold of the position.

After throwing for 300 yards and leading his offense to 49 points on the road against as highcaliber of an opponent as Michigan State, it’s safe to say this kid definitely has what it takes to lead Ohio State. I think the biggest takeaway from the game is that Barrett and the Buckeyes should now be considered the favorites to win the conference and thus have the best argument of any team in the Big Ten to make the playoffs should they win out.

They seem to be hitting their stride at the right time and while the playoffs are a long shot for any Big Ten team this season, the Buckeyes at least can see a general path to a playoff berth.

EB: I agree that it was impressive to see the play of Ohio State get back to what we would normally expect to see from them. But my biggest takeaway was how Michigan State’s defense kept getting beat. The squad allowed 49 points. That’s not the kind of showing they expected from the highly touted defense. The final question is which Husker

AM: I think the play of quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. will have the greatest impact on how the remainder of the season plays out for Nebraska.

If Armstrong plays the way he played against Rutgers and Purdue, the Huskers can pretty much say goodbye to their divisional title hopes. His accuracy and overall decision making has been concerning, especially of late, and if that continues, there’s no reason to think Nebraska could go on the road and beat even Iowa at the end of the season, let alone a game in Madison, Wisconsin,

this week. The Huskers need Armstrong to simply play within himself, get on the same page with his receivers, go through his reads and progressions, and not force throws. If that happens, and that’s a big “if” considering how Armstrong has looked in recent weeks, Nebraska will be in as good of a position for a conference title appearance as it could have asked for back in August. The quarterback is often considered to be one of the most important, as well as difficult, positions in all of sports, and that suggestion seems to be more accurate than ever as it pertains to this Nebraska team, a team simply asking for consistent play from the position in order

to be most successful.

JK: I’m going to go with the offensive line as a unit. There’s no one in particular that needs to step up extra. As a group, the Huskers need to be more consistent than they have been in recent games.

Center Mark Pelini needs to make sure Armstrong gets quality snaps. Jake Cotton and Alex Lewis need to avoid costly penalties on the left side. All in all, they need to give Armstrong plenty of time to explore his options, and there needs to be holes open for the running backs to expose. I think the defense has gradually been playing better as the season has progressed. If the offensive line steps

up, then the offense will be clicking and controlling each of the final three games left on the Huskers schedule. The offense has a much better rhythm when the linemen are providing a solid foundation to build upon.

EB: I have to agree with Josh more on this one. Nebraska is running team and the offensive line needs to create holes for the backs. Whether its Abdullah, junior running back Imani Cross or Armstrong, the openings need to be there.

Junior guard Rachel Theriot drives inside against Concordia-St. Paul on Sunday at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Theriot earned 19 points in the game, which led the team.

NU finishes exhibition play with 32-point victory ERIC BERTRAND DN The No. 16 Nebraska women’s basketball team concluded exhibition play on Sunday with a 7846 win against Concordia-St. Paul at the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The action started off with both teams going back-and-forth. Both squads were trading the lead early.

The Huskers started to pull away on the heels of a 12-0 run that spanned close to five minutes, which made the score 31-14.

The Huskers went into the locker rooms at half with a 38-21.

The second half was a different story.

Nebraska came out ready to shoot, as it put up 40 points in the second-half. Concordia-St. Paul was limited to just 25 points in the last half of the game.

Junior guard Rachel Theriot paced the game scoring 19 points, but overall Nebraska coach

Connie Yori was disappointed with the shooting from her team.

“We just didn’t shoot the ball well,” Yori said.

“It made the game not as pretty as we would like to have it.”

The Huskers went 1-for-13 from downtown and shot 37.8 percent from the field. The team also shot just 63.6 percent from the free throw line.

One area the team thrived in was the rebound department.

The Huskers out-rebounded Concordia-St. Paul 60-35. Senior forward Emily

Cady led the Nebraska squad with 13 rebounds and three other Huskers each recorded eight rebounds in the game.

“A lot of stuff wasn’t falling, so it opened up a lot of rebounds for us,” senior forward Hailie Sample said.

Another thing that impressed Yori was the way the Huskers kept senior forward Anika Whiting in

Huskers begin season with strong start in Wyoming JACK GRIMSE DN It was a good weekend in Wyoming, as the Husker wrestling team won both Friday and Saturday. On Friday, No. 7 Nebraska beat the No. 25 Wyoming Cowboys 22-13.

Ranked second in the nation at 157 pounds, senior James Green had a great weekend, dominating his way to five wins on the trip. Friday, he pinned his opponent Archie Colgan within two minutes.

It proved to be a turning point in the meet. The six points from Green’s pin put the Huskers up 16-6 against the Cowboys.

While Friday’s final score may have been closer than the Huskers would have liked, having a tournament the next day provided a chance for the coaches to work with some of the younger guys.

“We had a couple guys redeem losses today at the tournament, so it’s great to have multiple opportunities in the same day to work on coaching between matches,” Nebraska assistant coach Jordan Burroughs said.

Green said the players on the team are clicking.

“Everyone was doing well getting to the finals and a lot of guys came out on top because that’s what we came for,” Green said.

On Saturday, Green was 1 of 8 Huskers to win their respective weight classes at the Cowboy Open tournament. He won all four of his matches by technical fall, outscoring his opponents by a combined 72-9.

Green now has 99 victories at Nebraska, one shy of joining teammate and fellow national No. 2 Robert Kokesh with more than 100 wins, and Green will get his opportunity next Sunday against Maryland. Originally scheduled as a nonconference matchup, it will be the first Big Ten

Conference dual of the season, and Maryland’s first in the conference.

The seven hour bus ride back to Lincoln wasn’t exactly short, but for some guys on the team, it’s the preferred method of travel.

“Bus rides are always fun. I like riding the bus better than flying,” senior Robert Kokesh said.

“You get to collaborate with your teammates more, we played some cards, you know have some fun.”

Bus rides definitely don’t feel as long when you’re winning, and Kokesh has been doing just that. In Wyoming, Kokesh improved his season record to 6-0, with five wins during the weekend.

Even though he has been wrestling well enough to win, the two-time All-American feels there is room for improvement.

“Personally, I have a lot of things to work on, guys aren’t satisfied with the way we wrestled this weekend so we’ve just got to keep improving,” Kokesh said.

Next on schedule for the Huskers is a Sunday matchup against Maryland at the NU Coliseum located inside the Campus Recreation Center. It will be the lone match at the former home of the team this season. The rest of the wrestling action will take place at the Devaney Center.

Building on the success from last weekend, the Huskers are ready to face the Big Ten newcomer.

“Not sure what their lineup is like but it doesn’t really change our attitude or how we approach the match when we go out there, we are still looking for wins,” Green said. “I’m sure everyone on the team is looking out there and trying to build on what we just did as a team and welcome Maryland into the Big Ten, so it should be fun and it’s going to be a nice little dual.”

Nebraska football program cherishes walk-on players JACK GRIMSE

Like many kids who play high school football in the state of Nebraska, Sam Foltz always had the dream of playing for the Huskers.

Playing on both sides of the ball for Grand Island Senior High, he was a first team All-Nebraska choice as a senior for his work at defensive back when he led the team in tackles and interceptions.

He also caught 10 touchdown passes from fellow Husker, Ryker Fyfe.

When he came to Lincoln, he knew he wasn’t going to earn a scholarship at wide receiver or defensive back. He could help the team in a different way, by walking on to punt.

A redshirt sophomore, Foltz is in his second year as the starting punter for Nebraska. He knows there’s a strong walk-on tradition in the program and wants to continue the legacy. Walk-ons have played a part in every national championship

the Huskers have won. Coach Bob Devaney was instrumental in creating the program, but Tom Osborne really developed it throughout his 25 years at the helm. There was one specific period that didn’t have a whole lot of walk-ons suiting up on home gamedays.

The Bill Callahan era.

Recognizing the need to keep talented, in-state players without burning a valuable scholarship in this day and age of NCAA regulations is important, and when Bo Pelini took over for Callahan he started to repave the roads that had been shredded in just four years of a complete outsider attempting to revamp the program.

Jeff and Joel Makovicka, two fullbacks during the ‘90s, put Nebraska on the radar nationally for walk-ons making a significant impact. Hailing from Brainard, Nebraska, a town with a population of 350, they brought a hard-working Nebraska attitude to the team and helped set a physical tone.

The mentality for walk-ons doesn’t change a whole lot depending on the position, though Foltz won’t hit-stick someone on kickoff coverage the way Joel did in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl National Championship game against Florida, when the fullback dislocated the hip of the Florida return man.

Excelling in the classroom is something else these non-scholarship players have traditionally

done well. A 3.35 GPA had Foltz named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in Fall 2013, an award given for a semester GPA above 3.0.

Special teams have always been an area where walk-ons can excel. Alex Henery, the best kicker in school history, began his Nebraska career as a walkon, after only being offered a soccer scholarship by Creighton University. Henery is one of 30 former Husker walk-ons to have gone on to the NFL, and despite being cut by the Eagles this year during training camp, he still holds the franchise record for most consecutive field goals made with 18.

Henery’s most memorable kick for Nebraska: a 57-yard boot to put the Huskers ahead of rival Colorado, which was snapped by another walk-on, to a holder who was also a walk-on.

Last year Foltz finished fifth in the Big Ten Conference in punting average at 41.6 yards per kick. Despite the transition to being a full-time special teams player at the D1 level, the accolades haven’t stopped for Sam. The Grand Island native was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week for his effort against McNeese State after putting a great display of punting. Against the Cowboys, he averaged 51 yards per punt and with a long of 61. He was one of the only consistent performers for Nebraska on a day when they beat FCS’s McNeese State 31-24,

thanks to a Heisman-moment worthy catch and run by senior running back Ameer Abdullah. Even though the responsibility for how far a punt goes comes down solely to the punter, he was quick to credit the other members of the special teams unit who helped him win the award.

“It feels great obviously,” Foltz said. “I’m one of 11 guys on that unit that made that possible, so it was a great week for the punt team.”

When talking about the game that Nebraska barely eked out, Pelini wasn’t too pleased with the majority of the team but knew the special teams unit had worked hard in practice the week before.

“Well, you know we did some things well and didn’t do some things well,” Pelini said. “I thought special teams had a real good week in practice, and it showed out there.”

Foltz earned a scholarship last spring and knows while he has won many admirers in Lincoln and across Husker nation for his booming punts, his greatest admirers are still at home in Grand Island.

“They were very excited. I called my parents first and foremost and they saidthey were proud of me and they knew I could do it,” Foltz said.

Foltz’s next goal: to be the best punter in the conference.

Huskers open season with victory

WBB: FROM 20 check. She notched six points, three rebounds and three assists.

“Whiting is one of the best players in Division II,” Yori said. “We wanted to do a good job on those guys, and we did.”

Sample was the one responsible for guarding Whiting. Sample said the scouting reports were accurate on Whiting, which made it easier to guard her.

“We had a pretty good scout on her,” Sample said. “She basically did what that scout told us she was going to do. It was fairly easy to know what she was going to do and anticipate it.”

Aside from not being able to score, Yori said the team’s biggest weakness is a lack of talking.

“Communication is probably our biggest issue right now,” Yori said. “It’s just not a habit right now.”

This is to be expected when seven of the 14 players on the roster are underclassmen or new, Yori said.

But the players are optimistic because of their dedication.

“I think we’re known to be one of the hardest working teams, so I think that’s going to be the biggest thing for us,” Sample said.

The Nebraska bowling team finished first in the Crusader Classic three-day tournament this weekend in Valparaiso, Indiana. Nebraska held up to its No. 1 rank, as it defeated Arkansas State University 4-1 in Baker format on Sunday afternoon.

The first day of the tournament ended well for the Huskers with a 5-1 record in Baker format games and a pinfall total of 6,012, as they finished in second place behind the University of Wisconsin– Whitewater. Day 2 of individual play ended well for the Huskers with senior Andrea Ruiz finishing in eighth place. Sunday’s competition started off with Nebraska defeating Wisconsin-Whitewater 4-3 by 17 pins in the last game (222-205). The Huskers continued to dominate the competition with a win against Elmhurst University 4-1, and they defeated Arkansas State in the championship match.

Senior Liz Kuhlkin played well for the Huskers all weekend with a 212.56 average for the duration of the tournament. Kuhlkin said this was a great way to kick off the new season.
