TGHusker Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 OK I found it. This sends chills down my spine each time I see it and listen to it. This is "The Greatest Video Ever" The Nebraska Cornhuskers Tribute video with the Hoosiers movie music in the background. It starts wt the BobFather teams and ends with the Crouch TD vs OU. At 2:28 if you don't get chills - you are 1. either too young to understand or 2. too old and forgetful - dementia has set in or 3. Not a Husker fan. "Its Schlesinger !" At about 4:10 Tom tells the players to 'keep it going' - not a dry eye around. Video ends with 'Day by Day, we get better and better, a team that can't be beat, a team that won't be beat'. 4 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 In watching some of these videos it reminds me that Bo had some very good teams - just couldn't get it over the hump and win the big games when they counted. Suh, TM, AA. L David, Prince, Rex, were just a few of many exceptional athletes on his teams. I could go on with a great list of players. Many could have done very well during the 1990s run. So we weren't devoid of talent under Bo. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is the only game I was ever able to hear from my apt and my video was on delay so I always knew when something good was about to happen. I think it got really loud once they started fighting a little. Hopefully Colorado will be similar. Although I probably won't be able to hear it in my apt since I don't live in Lincoln anymore.

NUance Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Game of the Century. With the great Lyell Bremser calling the play. One of the greatest play calls of all time! There's a great discussion of how Greg Pruitt--yes, OU"s Greg Pruitt--had a hand in setting up this punt return. Skip to 4:54 in this video: LINK 2 Quote Link to comment

He still wouldnt have been a good passer and good defenses would have made adjustments to stop him from running just like they did under Pelini. Frost's O is "QB friendly". Also, I don't think Martinez gets enough credit for his passing ability. By no means was it stellar, but he had some bright spots. 1 Quote Link to comment

By no means was it stellar, but he had some bright spots. For all the criticism Martinez gets for his passing abilities, he had the highest completion percentage of any Husker quarterback since Joe Ganz. And if we look at TM's junior season (his last fully healthy season) and Lee's senior season stats in a vacuum, Martinez had a higher QBR, higher completion percentage, better TD/INT ratio and more yards per attempt. TL edged him total passing yards by only a couple hundred (3,143 to 2,871). Certainly not trying to negate TM's struggles at times, but it's an interesting comparison nonetheless. 4 Quote Link to comment
