Thats pretty interesting... and certainly paints the picture of why we need a coach like Bo.

Houston, we have a problem... damn, that sounded just like that chick in the tunnel walk when they did that stupip parachute bit... lame lame LAME!!

If you want to know what it means to be a Husker fan, this explains it right here. Any other team in the Big XII North would be ecstatic over the Solich and Callahan eras, pointing to them as their 'Golden Age.'

At Nebraska, we're disappointed as all hell.

 

[redout22]

Maybe Solich years but not the Callahan years. Not many BCS teams would want to have the 55th best winning percentage from any era.

That was the absolute WORST video I have ever seen. It was over done, poorly designed, and terrible constructed. Watching that video made me lose interest in the game, it wasn't until the players came out onto the field that I cared again.

 

[no_name_needed_2001]

Wow good list. Shows how dominant we were back in those days. I didn't expect us to be that high in the Solich era. Pretty sweet. I could live with Bo getting us back to winning 80+% of our games

I agree... then the Saw bits, WTH? They were tyring to hard to glam things up in Lincoln. The only one that was really interesting was when they had Keith Jackson talking about the new toy, etc. Now that was pretty cool. I hope the tunnel walks go back to something they had in the 90s with the trophies flying around.

This is what is truelly remarkable about college football. The #1 team, #6 team, #9 team, and the #12 team all either fired or pressured into retirement their head football coaches. 3 of the 4 head coaches had previously won NC's.
