StuckinChicago Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 This is actually a post from huskerpedia who goes by bigred34. This guy has talent Twas the Thirtieth of August Twas the Thirtieth of August; still days till game three L.A.’s Coliseum is where I hoped to be My red shirt hung in my travel bag with care As I wondered, “What would it be like if I was there?” I tossed and I turned; finally got to bed When these gridiron visions danced in my head Of my friend in his Cornhead and I in my cap Preparing for the Huskers and Trojans to scrap Then down in the tunnel, there arose such a clatter We sprang from our seats to see what was the matter Out onto the field they ran in a flash Tore through the band and raced over the hash The sun on the crest of the field of our foe Held the luster of greatness for this epic show The tension so thick I could cut with a knife After wedding and kids, best day of my life Then Congdon, a young sophomore, leg lively and quick A touchback did send with his high hanging kick More rapid than eagles, the Blackshirts they came Cosgrove barked and he shouted as he called them by name Now Corey, now Adam, now Ola, now Bradley On Cryer, on Andre, on Grixby, and Shanle First down at the twenty; only three downs to hold Now dash away, smash away, knock someone cold First play a pass, and their receivers did fly Tierre came up big and batted it out of the sky On Second SC chose to try it on the ground With Moore and Octavian chasing him down The QB on Third had nowhere to go Was Ruud-ly introduced to our friend Bo Three and out for the Defense as if on cue Now our turn to show – what real West Coast can do He was dressed red and white; wore the number thirteen Deep outs, quick slants, could even pull off the screen The Offensive Side he had flung on his back He was gritty and poised, just seemed to have the knack His eyes were like lasers, his passes spiral tight A new Husker Hero since Alamo Bowl night He’d have to be flawless; for this wasn’t Baylor If anyone could do it- it was Zac Taylor Two pitches to Lucky and a great run by Glenn Short passed to Nunn and Swift, again and again But then the best part – Matt Herian full speed Scored the game's first points – poetic justice indeed Norvell’s help play calling; Blake’s recruiting that worked O-Line dominating; Pete Carroll was irked He had seen better days, as everyone knows For his old regime had gone to the pros After the Huskers had performed a perfect game plan A small grin grew large on Coach Callahan More points than the Trojans, the Huskers had scored At the end of the day – Order Restored I awoke from sleep with much anticipation California Dreamin’ with all of Husker Nation I can’t wait till life mirrors my dream I love a great game; I love the Scarlet and Cream All I can say after that is GO BIG RED!!!!!

rawhide Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I get chilly feelings of Xmas. Nah it is a cool rendition. Will be at the game hopefully not too intoxicated. With skersfan and my son and 40K fans. GBR Quote Link to comment
gin_32 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm wondering how many husker fans will be at the game. The Notre Dame was awsome Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 That gave me chills! Bring on the Trojans! I'm wondering how many husker fans will be at the game. The Notre Dame was awsome The Big Red will be well represented! Myself and a lot of Husker fans I know who live here in L.A. bought SC season tickets just to get the Nebraska game. If you bought SC season tickets you also got to buy additional tickets for the Nebraska game. There will be a lot of scarlet in the crowd! GO BIG RED! Quote Link to comment
