Nebraska football players humiliated by Cornhuskers women's volleyball team at impromptu scrimmage
Nebraska football players' dreams of volleyball glory will have to wait another year after a humbling defeat to their national-powerhouse classmates in Lincoln. As revealed on Cornhuskers volleyball star Harper Murray's TikTok page, the highly rated Nebraska women once again beat the boys from the football team at a summer scrimmage. Both teams are going through summer practices in Lincoln, and just as they did last season, the two groups decided to kill some downtime with an impromptu game at the Devaney Center. And as was the case last summer, the Cornhuskers women lived up to their reputation despite some impressive athleticism from the Nebraska football players. In addition to quarterback Dylan Raiola, 6-foot-5 pogo stick Quinn Clark was also involved and proved to be formidable at the net. 'We about to put on a show,' one football player said beforehand. 'Show these girls how we really get down.' Ultimately, though, Murray said the two sides 'weren't even close.' Raiola, considered an NFL prospect, may have gotten the worst of it. Not only was he on the receiving end of several huge spikes, but the son of former NFL center Dominic Raiola was further embarrassed on an ace by Murray. The Cornhuskers football team was 7-6 last season, but just 3-6 in the Big Ten. Third-year head coach Matt Rhule helped Nebraska finally return to a blow last season, beating Boston College, but the Cornhuskers are widely projected to be a middling team in the conference this season. Nebraska women's volleyball recently bid farewell to legendary coach John Cook, who will be replaced by former Louisville head coach Dani Busboom Kelly this season. Regardless, the Cornhuskers are once again expected to complete for a national championship, which they haven't won since 2017. Nebraska was conference champion again last season before reaching the NCAA Tournament semifinals.

Actor Jeff Daniels laments Kamala Harris' loss, suggests she would have governed like Abraham Lincoln
Print Close By Rachel del Guidice Published July 21, 2025 Actor Jeff Daniels lamented former Vice President Kamala Harris losing the 2024 presidential election in a new interview, saying she would have governed like President Abraham Lincoln. "I still think about Kamala, and how I think she would have been a good choice," Daniels told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace in an episode published Monday of her podcast, "The Best People." "I don't care what they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did." "Liz Cheney would have been secretary of state," Daniels said. 'VIEW' CO-HOST WHO SUPPORTED HARRIS SAYS SHE MADE BIG MISTAKE REACHING OUT TO REPUBLICANS "Team of Rivals," Wallace interjected, referencing the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin, "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," which looks at how Lincoln included former political opponents in his cabinet. "Team of Rivals," Daniels agreed. "That's what Lincoln did, surrounded himself with the people who would disagree with him, not the people who would, you know, take a knee and go, 'Yeah, more tariffs, sir, more.'" Harris' campaign heavily used Liz Cheney, one of President Donald Trump's fiercest Republican critics, on the campaign trail in 2024. Once a conservative star in the House, Cheney was one of only two Republicans who served on the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which resulted in her losing her seat in Wyoming. Harris also pledged to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected. Daniels, known for his prominent movie, television and stage roles, said the Republican Party was deteriorating under Trump. BIDEN TELLS 'THE VIEW' HE WASN'T SURPRISED HARRIS LOST, BLAMES SEXISM AND RACISM "It's the madness of King George, and just the deterioration of the Republican Party," he said. "I mean, look, I'm just an actor. What do I know? But when Mitch [McConnell] started stacking the courts 25 years ago, I said it on your show once, they can see it coming. The new America that is diverse and treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity, you know, kind of like Jesus did. We're ready for that." He also said wealthy backers are "losing money" under Trump. "And Mitch and company could see it coming," he said. "They were going to be the minority, so they just started and then here we are, and now you got it, and now you're losing money. I hope you're losing tons of money, those of you who thought this would be OK." Daniels is playing President Ronald Reagan in the upcoming movie "Reykjavík," about the summit between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986. His recent roles include playing former FBI Director James Comey in Showtime's "The Comey Rule," and fictional newscaster Will McAvoy on HBO's "The Newsroom," in addition to his numerous film roles going back to the 1980s.
