Another Myth. 1997 Game vs Missouri. 1994 season Orange bowl. 1995 season Fiesta bowl. Game of the Century. Again, just off the top of my head. I had a mental list compiled last year of all the wins I had seen on classics. It was more on than this. It's not ESPN's fault Nebraska has lost to too many good teams. I mean really, do you want them to play Bowl games from the '80s? Cause you'd b!^@h about that too. How about all those BIG 12 championship victories? Wish they'd show those!!!!!
By all means though, continue on. Don't let me get in the way of your silly preconceived notions.
Sorry, but I agree with Saunders. Nobody is saying they only show our losses. What we're saying is the preponderance of games they show are our losses. Every single team out there has big losses on big stages to big teams. Nobody wins them all. But if they're showing a Husker Classic, it's more likely that they're showing a loss than a win.
Yea well, the myth will go on no matter what I say so it's not not a big deal. I
alone came up with 4 and I know I watched one more I just can't remember which. There's a pretty good explanation for all this. Nebraska went without having a championship team for 25 years and sucked during a big part of part of the 2000s. Even if it is as biased, what do you expect? Seriously, would you complain about them showing a bowl game from the '80s? People were complaining about ESPNU for the same reasons last season.
:espnsucks:
Uh, they can't show the 1995 fiesta bowl. It's a CBS broadcast ( and they own the rights), so you might want to try again. I have my DVR set up to record anything containing the words "Nebraska Football." And the list I gave you is what it has recorded in the last year. The 97 Mizzou game was shown once, as was the GOTC. 94 OB is shown every few months. I gave you the
exact list of what was shown. There are dozens of good games that could be shown, but aren't. The only wins that are shown are close, last minute ones. But blowout losses are commonplace. But no, we're just believing a "myth."
So, you might want to check your revisionist history.
Ok so I alone came up with three. And two that you didn't come up with. Big deal. My revisionist history is being wrong on one game. Not a problem. If 3/4 is the gold standard for "revisionist" history then this board would be a big joke full of nothing but revisionist history. But we all tolerate it to some extent.
Well that DVR should give you plenty to complain about in a couple of years when all they show is the last two Big 12 championship games and you still aren't able to quite wrap your head around the reason for it. I could swear that college football was full of 100s of games that could be on ESPN classics but aren't. Why don't you try taking it as a compliment that the program you follow is relevant enough to show up in classic games.
ESPN sucks for a lot of reasons and this isn't one of them. You missed a couple, by the way. If your DVR is as godly as you say it is you should be able to tell me which ones you did. Get to googling. We wouldn't want you revising history should you err. And just so we're clear, you're telling me that there just might be some pretty good games that people would remember that ESPN can't show because it doesn't own the rights? I don't know man. That's way too benign of a partial explanation. Must be something more sinister.
Also, you mention they only showed Missouri/Nebraska once. You make it sound like they showed the Nebraska at OU blowout 23234234 times. Maybe you should be less surprised that game would show up in a year when Sam Bradford was first round draft pick.
