Nebraska ranked number 1

[Eric the Red]

http://bleacherrepor...0-years/page/11

The best team of the past 50 years is the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Cornhuskers finished in the top 10 28 times.

Throw in some Heisman Trophy winners along with players so skilled there are trophies named after them.

Five times Nebraska won the National Championship, winning back to back titles in 1970 and '71 as well as 1994 and '95.

** Please do not turn this into a "my how times have changed", piss and moan thread. Start your own. Debate/Discuss if the Huskers deserve to be ranked #1 or what teams should ultimately be higher and/lower.

Nothing wrong with some positive on this board. And in honesty, I think tomorrow will be a good day for the Huskers. Just have that feeling!

Thanks Eric for posting, I seldom read bleacher report.

S-i-g-h! The good old days! Where are they now?

 

[Husker66]

this is great....I pray we get back to at least late 80's, early 90's strength with some competitive B1G title appearances/ titles and some solid bowl appearances/wins soon... id be happy, happy, happy!

but that was then, .... this is now......lots needs to happen.

I definitely want to do more than clap tomorrow...take the dogs out. Don't care who our coach is, don't care who our QB is, just kick some a$$ and get the job done.

So glad to see some positivity. If we get the "W" tomorrow I will be very satisfied.
