ESPN has released more details on their upcoming documentary, No Place Like Nebraska. The documentary will chronicle the 2023 Cornhusker volleyball season.
The film will premiere on Sunday, August 25, at 4:00 p.m. CT on ESPN. The worldwide leader in sports has said that the documentary will celebrate Nebraska volleyball.
A school once known only for its football program has become a mecca for women’s volleyball. John Cook’s Cornhuskers have built a new standard – one where anything less than winning a national championship is a shortcoming.
Last season, the Cornhuskers finished with a 33-2 record and reached the NCAA Championship match. In the conference, they won their fourth Big Ten title with a 19-1 record.
ESPN also announced that several high profile individuals connected with the program will speak on camera for the first time since the end of the season.
After the 2023 season concludes, the story continues, as star outside hitter Harper Murray spoke exclusively with E60 about navigating her mental health journey following an onslaught of social media hate after the national championship. And after turning down rampant offseason questions regarding Murray following a public array of off-the-court incidents, (head coach John) Cook sits down with E60 for a frank discussion.
John Cook broke the news following the Huskers spring volleyball game earlier this month that crews from ESPN had been following the Huskers leading up to the annual exhibition game.
They’ve been with us all year. They’re doing a documentary, so they’ve been in and out. They’ve been to a lot of hometowns. They were here in March for three days and then they wanted to come out here (spring game) and see this because until you see it, you don’t believe it.
Nebraska faced Denver on May 4 in front of a sold-out crowd on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Kearney. The Huskers swept the Pioneers 25-13, 25-12, 25-15.
The Nebraska Volleyball team has been named the Big Ten favorites heading into the 2024 season. The Big Ten coaches also named five Huskers to the preseason All-Big Ten team.
The 2023 Nebraska volleyball team started the year by rewriting history – but that was only the beginning of their journey.
