Known for his rapid-fire one-liners, slapstick humor, and observations about life, Larry the Cable Guy rose to fame as a star of the blue-collar comedy phenomenon. His catchphrase “Git-R-Done!” became a cultural staple. His career has spanned stand-up comedy, acting, and film voice work.

He is a multiplatinum recording artist, GRAMMY® nominee, and Billboard award winner. He has a line of merchandise and tours across the U.S. and his Git-R-Done Foundation has donated more than seven million dollars to various charities.

Larry is the voice of Mater in the Golden Globe® winning 2006 animated feature film Cars and Cars 2 from Disney/Pixar. Both movies opened number one at the box office. Together, the two films have grossed more than one billion dollars worldwide. Larry returned as the voice of Mater for Cars 3 in 2017 for the new Disney + series Cars on the Road.

His special Remain Seated is currently streaming on Netflix and he appeared on the FOX show The Masked Singer. His comedy special with Jeff Foxworthy, We’ve Been Thinking, is also available on Netflix.

Story by NU Athletic Communications

The Nebraska football program announced today that Dana Holgorsen has signed a two-year contract to serve as the Huskers’ offensive coordinator.

Holgorsen joined the Nebraska program in early November, first as an offensive consultant, before moving into the role of coordinator and play-caller for the final three games of the season. Holgorsen’s two-year contract will pay him $1.2 million annually.

Under Holgorsen’s direction, Nebraska improved on offense over the final three games, highlighted by a 44-25 victory over Wisconsin on Nov. 23. In that game, Nebraska posted its highest point total since 2021, while its total offense (473), rushing offense (180) and passing offense (293) outputs were all the second-best of the 2024 season.

“We are excited that Dana Holgorsen has agreed to be our offensive coordinator moving forward,” Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule said. “Dana is one of the elite offensive minds in football, and the progress we made in our final three games provides a glimpse of the potential of our offense under his direction. We look forward to Dana leading our offense into the bowl game and building for the 2025 season.”

Holgorsen joined the Huskers this fall after spending the past 13 seasons as a head coach at West Virginia (2011-18) and Houston (2019-23). He owns a 92-69 record as a collegiate head coach, ranking second at West Virginia in coaching victories and fifth on Houston’s all-time wins chart.

In addition to being a successful head coach, Holgorsen boasts an impressive resume as an offensive coordinator. Holgorsen spent six seasons as an offensive coordinator at Texas Tech (2005-07), Houston (2008-09) and Oklahoma State (2010). In his six seasons as an FBS coordinator, Holgorsen’s offenses had an average national finish of second in passing offense, third in total offense and sixth in scoring offense. All six of the offenses Holgorsen served as coordinator ranked in the top three nationally in passing, the top six in total offense and the top 13 in scoring offense.

Holgorsen has coached more than 20 All-Americans and 50 NFL Draft picks, including five top-10 picks. His players have won major national awards such as the Biletnikoff, Paul Hornung, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and Jet awards. Holgorsen also coached the only two players to be a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver.

Individuals have excelled in Holgorsen’s offenses. In 19 seasons as an offensive coordinator or head coach, nine quarterbacks have had a 3,000-yard passing season with a total of 15 individual seasons with 3,000 or more passing yards. Holgorsen has also coached six quarterbacks who have had a 4,000-yard passing season and two who have had a 5,000-yard passing season. There have also been 18 individual 1,000-yard receiving seasons and six individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Holgorsen’s 19 seasons as a head coach or offensive coordinator.

Holgorsen coached the all-time FBS leader in touchdown passes and total offense along with the FBS season record holder in completions. He was the coordinator for two of the top four passing offenses in FBS history. Receivers have thrived under Holgorsen, posting seasons where they ranked second in FBS history in touchdown receptions and third in receiving yards.

Nebraska signs Holgorsen to Two-Year Contract

OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;–&nbsp;The Omaha Supernovas,&nbsp;Nebraska’s professional volleyball team and first Pro Volleyball Champions, are thrilled to announce its six-person 2024 draft class, which was selected during the 2024 PVF Draft earlier on Monday.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Supernovas second full draft class includes middle blocker&nbsp;Toyosi Onabanjo&nbsp;from Kansas, opposite&nbsp;Emily Londot&nbsp;from Ohio State, outside hitter&nbsp;Ally Batenhorst&nbsp;from USC, outside hitter&nbsp;Lindsay Krause&nbsp;from Nebraska, outside hitter&nbsp;Valeria Vazquez-Gomez&nbsp;from Pittsburgh and setter&nbsp;Kendra Wait&nbsp;from Creighton.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Today is a phenomenal day for our sport and an opportunity to celebrate the incredible success of these athletes,"&nbsp;Supernovas head coach Laura "Bird" Kuhn&nbsp;said. "We’re thrilled with the depth we’ve added on both pins and excited to see the young talent grow and develop in our gym. Last season taught us the importance of depth and competitive chemistry, and this group will play a key role in strengthening our 2025 Supernovas squad!"

Omaha bolstered its middle blocker group with its first selection at No. 8 overall with Onabanjo for the final pick of the first round. &nbsp;

Onabanjo spent her first two seasons at Iowa before transferring to Kansas ahead of the 2023 season. She put up 1.82 kills per set with 101 total blocks during her junior season, but it’s her senior campaign that has made her into one of the top middle blockers in the country. The Houston, Texas native is averaging 2.58 kills per set this season on a .408 hitting percentage with 101 blocks (1.2 B/S). She’s put up double-digit kills in nine matches this season including a season-high 22 kills in a match at Duke earlier in the year. &nbsp;

The Supernovas followed up with Londot two picks later for the second selection of the second round at No. 10 overall, which was a draft pick Omaha acquired last season in a trade with the San Diego Mojo.&nbsp;

Londot comes to Omaha after being one of the best offensive players in college volleyball since she won the AVCA National Freshman of the Year award in 2020. Named a second team All-American in 2020 and 2022, Londot has a career 4.22 kills per set mark in over 140 career matches. &nbsp;

She’s continued that stellar play during her fifth and final college season in 2024, posting a 4.41 kills per set mark. She’s also improved her blocking during her final college season, posting 102 blocks (0.88 B/S) with 30 aces. A three-time All-Big Ten first team selection, Londot entered the 2024 season top five in program history in kills and points while being in the top 20 in block assists, total blocks and digs. &nbsp;

The Supernovas picked again in the second round at No. 15 overall, drafting USC outside hitter Ally Batenhorst, who returns to the Cornhusker state after spending her first three college seasons at Nebraska.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Batenhorst has excelled in her first season as a full-time starting outside hitter, averaging 3.82 kills per set to lead the team on a .228 hitting percentage with 2.09 digs per set, 86 blocks and 26 aces. The former Husker spent three seasons in Lincoln appearing in at least 26 matches during each year. Her best season came in 2022 as a sophomore where she recorded 2.33 kills per set, 1.06 digs per set and 0.57 blocks per set in 72 sets across 26 matches. &nbsp;

The Supernovas continued its Nebraska trend by drafting NU outside hitter Lindsay Krause at No. 19 overall in the third round. &nbsp;

A 6-foot-4 senior for Nebraska, Krause will return to her hometown when she joins the Supernovas after coming out of Omaha Skutt High School as the No. 1 overall recruit in the country. Krause has played in 99 career matches for Nebraska, recording 2.36 kills per set with 185 total blocks and 24 aces, with 15 of them coming this year. &nbsp;

“Being a drafted as a Supernova means the world to me,” Krause said. “I am so beyond grateful to get the opportunity to continue to represent and compete for my home state of Nebraska. The rich culture this team Coach Bird has already created in just one season is something I cannot wait to be a part of! GBR forever, and go Novas!”&nbsp;

11 picks later the Supernovas selected Pittsburgh outside hitter Valeria Vazquez-Gomez in the fourth round at No. 30 overall.&nbsp;

Vazquez-Gomez has helped Pittsburgh to its first two Final Four appearances in program history, with the Panthers amidst another great season in which they could reach a third consecutive Final Four.&nbsp;Vazquez-Gomez is a complete six-rotation outside hitter. She’s already matched her career high in aces (34) this season while adding 2.15 kills and 1.98 digs per set with 28 blocks. &nbsp;

The Puerto Rico native has racked up numerous accolades including an AVCA Second Team All-American honor and All-ACC Firrst Team selection in 2022. She was also named to the All-ACC Second Team in 2023 after hitting a career high .258 on the year. &nbsp;

Omaha rounded out its draft class in the fifth round at No. 37 overall with the selection of&nbsp;Wait.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wait will go down as one of the greatest players in Creighton Volleyball history and has become one of the best setters in the country. A three-time AVCA All-American honree, Wait has a career 10.74 assists per set mark in over 125 matches with 3.19 digs per set, 476 kills, 343 blocks and 83 aces. &nbsp;

She’s in the middle of another phenomeal season for a top-ten Creighton team with 10.99 assists and 2.98 digs per set with 91 kills, 87 blocks and 21 aces. &nbsp;

With the conclusion of the draft, Omaha will enter training camp with 18 players competing for a spot on the 2025 roster with the new season set to begin with Banner Night when the Supernovas host the Atlanta Vibe on Friday, January 10 at 7 p.m. CST at the CHI Health Center.&nbsp;

2024 Western Conference All Conference Softball Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Led by first-team nods for two members of the Eagle defense, Chadron State football was well represented on the 2024 RMAC Football All-Conference Teams, announced Wednesday by the league office. 

Senior defensive end Hunter O'Connor and junior safety Dax Yeradi both earned spots on the first team, with O'Connor receiving a first-team selection for the third consecutive season while Yeradi earned first-team status for the first time in his career.

Chadron State had three second team picks in wide receiver Tommy Thomas, linebacker Xavier Harrell and punter Brodie Eisenbraun. 

The Eagles had eight players earn all-conference honorable mention – cornerback Omar Ali, offensive lineman Nicholas Gossage, tight end Peter Krohn, linebacker Logan O'Brien, safety Tucker Peterson, defensive tackle Tanner True, kicker Wilson Yee and Yeradi, who in addition to his first-team defensive selection picked up an honorable mention nod as a punt returner. 

The All-RMAC teams are voted on by the league's head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players. Any student-athlete not named first or second team that receives at least one first team vote or two second team votes is considered honorable mention.

Hunter O'Connor, a senior from Broomfield, Colorado, put a cap on a decorated career with a third straight First Team All-RMAC selection. The 2022 All-American finished 2024 with 7.5 sacks, 12.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and 49 total tackles while being the focus of every defensive gameplan. O'Connor had three games with multiple sacks, with two of them coming against nationally-ranked opponents in Colorado School of Mines and Western Colorado.

On November 9 against Western Colorado, O'Connor recorded two sacks to become Chadron State's all-time program leader with 35.5 career sacks. O'Connor already held the program sack records for a single season (16) and a single game (five), both set in 2022. 

Dax Yeradi had a breakout campaign in 2024, vaulting from an honorable mention selection in 2023 to the first team. The safety from Wright, Wyoming finished the season tied for the RMAC lead with four interceptions, including a 51-yard pick six against Fort Lewis. 

Yeradi also finished with 51 tackles, including 40 solo stops, and recorded four pass breakups. He earned the RMAC Defensive Player of the Week award on September 23 of this year. As a punt returner, he ranked second in the RMAC in 17th in Division II by averaging 11.5 yards per return, with a high of 103 return yards on six attempts against Adams State. 

Both O'Connor and Yeradi were defensive leaders for an Eagle team that finished second-best in the RMAC in most defensive categories, including total yards allowed, passing yards allowed and interceptions while ranking third in scoring defense.

Tommy Thomas followed up a First Team All-RMAC season in 2023 by still earning second team honors during an injury-shortened 2024. Despite missing three games, the junior hauled in 36 receptions with 419 yards and four touchdowns, all marks which led CSC for the season. Thomas starred during the rivalry game against Black Hills State, catching 11 passes for 146 yards. 

Xavier Harrell lands on the second team after captaining the linebacking corps for the Eagles defense. Harrell finished with 66 tackles and ranked eighth in the RMAC with 42 solo tackles. The senior added 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, an interception and four pass breakups. Harrell earns a second team selection a year after being named honorable mention in 2023. 

Brodie Eisenbraun earns a second-team selection at punter for the second straight season, but after sharing second-team honors with two other punters due to a tie in voting a season ago, Eisenbraun has it all to himself this year. The junior averaged 43.26 yards on 53 punts, hitting 15 punts for 50 yards or more. Eisenbraun pinned 17 punts inside the 20-yard line against just three touchbacks. 

CSU Pueblo receiver Reggie Retzlaff took home Offensive Player of the Year honors, Western Colorado defensive end Ricky Freymond was the conference's Defensive Player of the Year while Colorado School of Mines punter Blake Doud was the Special Teams Player of the Year. Western Colorado's Jas Bains took home RMAC Coach of the Year.

BILLINGS, Mont. – Montana State Billings used a 22-6 margin at the free throw line as the springboard to a 77-60 win over Chadron State in a nonconference women's basketball game played in Billings on Friday night. 

Chadron State senior forward Ashayla Powers led all scorers with 24 points. She made all nine of her field goal shots in the first half, finished 11-of-17 from the field for the game and sank both of her free throws.  She also was the Eagles' top rebounder with six. 

Montana State Billings led by just two points, 32-30, at halftime but outscored the Eagles 45-30 in the second half. Kylie Krise added nine points and Camren Morris and McKenzie Petersen six apiece for the Eagles, now 0-2 for the young season. The Yellowjackets, ranked No. 6 nationally in the WBCA Coaches Poll, improved their record to 5-1.

Powers got off to a great start early for the Eagles, scoring 10 points in the opening quarter on 5-for-5 shooting then adding eight points in the second quarter to have 18 at the break. In the first half, Powers was 9-for-9 from the field while the rest of the Eagles were a combined 5-for-14.

A senior named All-RMAC First Team in 2022-23 and Second Team in 2023-24, Powers has now gone over 20 points for the first time this season after doing so twice last year and nine times two years ago. The 11 field goals made in a single game are tied for the second most in Powers' career.

Montana State was 6-of-12 and the Eagles 1-of-3 at the line in the first half. The hosts were 16-of-22 and Chadron State 5-of-5 at the charity stripe in the second half to account for much of the difference on the scoreboard. Each team finished with 25 field goals, with the hosts making five 3-pointers, one more than the Eagles.

Aspen Giese, a 5-8 senior, led Montana State with 19 points, followed by Dyauni Boyce and Kaitlin Grossman with 13 apiece.  Kortney Nelson was 7-of-9 at the free throw line, finishing with nine points and a game-high eight rebounds. The Yellowjackets out-rebounded Chadron State 36-24 and had 14 turnovers, compared to CSC's 22.

The Eagles will play Simon Fraser of Canada in Billings, starting at noon Saturday. They'll be home at 6 p.m. Wednesday night to play Southwest Minnesota State in the Chicoine Center. 

Chadron State—Ashayla Powers 24, Kylie Krise 9, Camren Morris 6, McKenzi Petersen 6, Bati Assefa 5, Tyra Eriksson 3, Kadyn Comer 3, Megan Counts 2, Olivia Waufle 2. Totals: 27-47 FG, 4-13 3PT, 6-8 FT. 60 points, 23 rebounds, 18 assists, 22 turnovers.

KANSAS CITY – Darrius Miles and Dalton Peterson both scored 18 points, with Peterson hitting six threes, as Chadron State men's basketball defeated Ottawa University 83-67 at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri.

In Friday's win, Chadron State shot 49 percent from the field, 34 percent from three and 78 percent from the line. Peterson led the effort from beyond the arc, hitting 6 of 10 three-point attempts to score a season-high and finish two points off his career-high.

Miles, a 6-foot-11 UT Arlington transfer, went to work inside, finishing 8 of 12 from the field, recording five rebounds and a block, and personally scoring the first nine points of the game.  

Julio Phipps recorded 10 points while shooting 80 percent from the floor to finish in double figures for the second straight game. Jalen Thomas finished with nine points and six rebounds.
