Pitting #4 Texas against #3 Nebraska in some badass women’s volleyball action, the Big 12 Showdown is slated for 8pm tomorrow, Wednesday. It’s likely to sell out–it did last year–so get your tix stat for a mere $4-$10. It’s at Gregory, so the $4 seats should be just as good as the $10 seats. I…

ACL … I can’t handle it
I just can’t handle ACL. I went all out last year–open to close, all three days, media tent, afterparties and aftershows–and I think I just burned myself right out.
