  3. This has probably been asked before

     

    But how many times- what years and games- where we lost the game and it cost us a National Championship

    Lets not go to something like 1978 Missouri, but in the Bowl Games

     

    Of Course there is 83 vs Miami, 93 FSU, 2001 Miami

     

    How about some of those Devaney teams that lost to Bama others etc

     

    The 1965 and 1981 seasons were contingent on the results of other bowl games. In both seasons, NU was #3 and #4 respectively heading into those bowl games. The proper dominoes fell in both seasons for NU to claim at least a share of the title.

     

    --1965 - #1 Michigan State, #2 Arkansas lost their bowl games. #3 NU lost to #4 Alabama.

    --End Result = Michigan State (UPI poll champ) & Alabama (AP poll champ) = Split national title.

    FYI, the 1965 season was the first year the AP would wait to issue their final poll votes after the bowl games were played.

     

     

    --1981 #1 Clemson beat #4 NU. #2 Georgia lost to #8 Pittsburgh. #3 Alabama lost to #6 Texas.

    --End Result = Clemson (Outright national champ)

    FYI, I remember hearing at the time that had NU beaten Clemson, they likely would've shared the national title with either Penn State or Pittsburgh.

  4. Courtesy of Big Red Report:

     

    Rex Burkhead's impact goes far beyond what he accomplished on the field. Plano (TX) Mayor Phil Dyer and the city council recognized Burkhead for his accomplishments as a Nebraska Cornhusker and also his work with pediatric brain cancer patient Jack Hoffman.

     

    The City Council meeting in downtown Plano, Texas was in session was set to honor one of their hometown sons. Rex Burkhead was back in town in time to get some special recognition from the Plano Mayor, Phil Dyer, and the rest of the City Council for Burkhead's work on the field at Nebraska but especially off of it and being recognized as the Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion Award winner.
