The Omaha Supernovas’ regular season clash with Columbus Fury became a special night for Nebraska volleyball fans thanks to the multitude of guests who graced the stands. Besides volleyball stars such as Huskers’ outside hitter Harper Murray, an unexpected guest who showed up was Matt Rhule. “Coach Rule in the house,” posted Hurrdat Sports after spotting the football coach entering the stadium with his family.
The Huskers football coach, who turned 50 on January 31, decided to spend his birthday by showing support to women’s pro volleyball. So when a presenter caught up to the coach during the break, the 50-year-old shouted out how Nebraska is helping pioneer the pro volleyball circuit. “My family said, ‘Where should we go for your 50th birthday?’” explained the coach.
“I said, I want to go to the best athletes in the best place for volleyball in the world. Came to Omaha to see the Supernovas,” the football coach said in a bold statement. The coach’s claim was also an indirect praise of the Nebraska volleyball program as former Huskers stars Ally Batenhorst, and Lindsay Krause joined the Supernovas as rookie pros for the 2025 season.
