[00:00:00.280]That's Lauren Cook.
[00:00:01.113]We'll have the head coach, John Cook, shortly,
[00:00:02.790]but last week I had a chance
[00:00:03.850]to catch up with the chancellor.
[00:00:05.240]A big Homecoming weekend coming up.
[00:00:07.410]Here's the chancellor, Ronnie Green.
[00:00:08.920]Chancellor, you are a huge volleyball fan.
[00:00:11.570]I see you and your wife at many games.
[00:00:13.810]What's the history of you and Nebraska volleyball?
[00:00:15.930]Oh, we certainly enjoy Husker volleyball,
[00:00:18.620]enjoy the excellence we see in Husker volleyball
[00:00:21.410]on a regular basis.
[00:00:24.490]Big match to be back here with Stanford.
[00:00:27.330]We all remember the end of last season, right?
[00:00:30.730]We were there in that last match with Stanford,
[00:00:33.440]and so it's great to have this rematch
[00:00:35.160]and be back in Devaney
[00:00:36.210]and be hosting the Stanford folks tonight,
[00:00:38.580]so, great to be here.
[00:00:41.210]We have a big event here at the university.
[00:00:43.010]Homecoming, coming up very shortly,
[00:00:45.240]the weekend of October 4.
[00:00:46.670]What are some of the special events we can look forward to,
[00:00:49.000]especially this being
[00:00:50.110]the 150th anniversary for the university?
[00:00:51.970]Well, you know, we say
[00:00:53.740]there's no place like Nebraska, and we mean it,
[00:00:55.630]'cause there is no place like Nebraska,
[00:00:57.930]and Homecoming's always a special week for us in the fall.
[00:01:01.520]It's even more special this year,
[00:01:03.580]because it's our 150th anniversary year
[00:01:06.100]of the University of Nebraska.
[00:01:07.550]We've been celebrating that all year long,
[00:01:09.570]and we've worked kind of our ending of the year celebration
[00:01:13.940]into Homecoming this year,
[00:01:15.380]so it's a big part of the week that's coming up here now
[00:01:18.950]in a couple of weeks.
[00:01:21.030]We are celebrating with music and with food trucks
[00:01:25.030]and our parade that will be that Friday
[00:01:27.580]of Homecoming weekend.
[00:01:29.390]Special appearances from our athletic director, Bill Moos.
[00:01:32.410]Our new men's basketball coach, Fred Hoiberg.
[00:01:35.170]Hannah Huston, who many of you
[00:01:36.840]will remember from The Voice, is gonna be with us for that.
[00:01:41.300]I know people probably think, you know, well,
[00:01:43.220]Homecoming, it's, I've been part of that before,
[00:01:45.990]but I don't think there's been one quite like this,
[00:01:49.420]'cause we'll include in that on Friday
[00:01:52.450]part of our N150 Lecture Series that we've had all year.
[00:01:55.670]We've had one per month, marking the 150 year.
[00:02:00.420]This one is gonna be from Debra Kleve White,
[00:02:02.710]who is a former spirit leader, Husker cheerleader,
[00:02:05.770]has written a lot about Husker spirits and traditions,
[00:02:08.670]and she's giving that lecture on Friday.
[00:02:11.570]Also with a parade, that I mentioned earlier, on Friday
[00:02:14.530]that'll feature our students and community organizations,
[00:02:17.200]the floats and the exhibits down Greek Row
[00:02:20.740]that all are familiar with.
[00:02:22.750]And then we're doing that differently.
[00:02:25.010]It's gonna be on Memorial Plaza this year,
[00:02:27.070]so there'll be a big celebration there
[00:02:29.890]on Memorial Plaza on that Friday
[00:02:32.750]leading up to the big game on Saturday with Northwestern.
[00:02:35.760]So, excited about it.
[00:02:37.410]People should know if they come this year
[00:02:39.540]we're providing free parking for folks
[00:02:42.030]on Homecoming weekend.
[00:02:44.150]Lot one, the Memorial Stadium garage,
[00:02:47.010]lot five, between the practice fields and 14th and Avery,
[00:02:50.190]and lot nine, 14th and Avery,
[00:02:52.340]will be free parking for people on that Friday,
[00:02:54.980]so they can be here and be part of the events.
[00:02:57.920]So, looking forward to a big Homecoming weekend.
[00:03:00.150]Homecoming weekend, not this weekend,
[00:03:01.840]it's the weekend of October 4,
[00:03:03.130]and it's not just for students.
[00:03:04.460]It's for fans, it's for alumni, especially this year.
[00:03:07.140]Yeah, we're expecting a big crowd this year,
[00:03:09.900]and hopefully we'll be going into that game with a big win
[00:03:12.650]coming off Ohio State, we'll see.
[00:03:14.760]But, you know, excited about the volleyball team,
[00:03:16.980]off to a great start this year, obviously,
[00:03:20.680]and excited about playing Stanford tonight.
[00:03:23.943]UNL chancellor Ronnie Green.
[00:03:25.940]Homecoming extra special in 2019.
[00:03:29.270]Well, time now to talk to the head coach.
[00:03:31.240]His pregame show is presented by Sartor Hamann Jewelers,
[00:03:33.310]the official jeweler of Husker athletics.
