A Football Post: Back When It Mattered

[Steely Dannebrog]

1992 Oct 31 - Colorado vs Nebraska

A top 5 game for most Husker fans, I'd wager. With the perspective of time, this is my favorite Nebraska football game ever. I was 14 when this aired, and I remember being extremely nervous in the runup to this game given how things had gone the previous couple games. But this game had it all:

Perfect Nebraska weather
Primetime ESPN game with the great broadcast team of Nessler, Danielson and Dr. Jerry Punch
At home beatdown of a ranked ('sup Matt) hated conference rival
Dominant on both LOS
Tommie's coming out party
Calvin Jones running untouched on a counter trey for 6
Suffocating blackshirt defense
Fumblerooski

Now we are a basketball school and this is a political forum.

I'll probably come back and watch this later. I was around, but only 4 so unfortunately too young to remember or have cared.

It didn’t really happen. It’s a hoax.

I only saw these from afar, as I came North in '84, but I saw of these live on the tube.

Total whupping of sCUm
