Thanks for the info ETR! Setting my DVR!

They NEVER show the 1996 Fiesta.

 

Nevertheless, I watch it all the time!

I was lucky and got to attend both of those games. I tell you what....to this day.....that 94 Orange bowl, abdul muhammads punt return that got called back because of the phantom clip or the one where FAT Floyed fumbles the ball and he still gets the call for the TD. Still makes me wanna puke!

God i loved those years man, being the under dog and pounding the rock and bringing the trophy back. The best time to be a Husker/sports fan. Celebrating the win with my bro(currently in Afganistan) in the middle of 72nd and Dodge great times...Who all was at 72nd and dodge the fantastic years?

those were the days when they let Cris Collinsworth do color for games. Collinsworth is one of the best around. even though, if i remember right, he couldn't stop blowing hot air up Miami's a$$ the whole time.

I think that was Corey Dixon on the return

Thanks for the info Eric, I'll be sure to watch.

Here is a little video montage from youtube:

 

 

1. This was obviously put together by an FSU fan...but still shows some great plays on both sides of the ball.

 

2. I really wanted to see the punt return, but it was left off.

 

3. Don't tell anyone...but there is a LUCKY bounce (pass deflects off Clester Johnson to Reggie Baul for a long TD)

 

4. I miss Tommie...and the option. Not that I don't like the new offense, but man that was fun watching for my first 20+ years as a Husker fan.

 

5. Floyd did fumble the ball....but I have to agree with the guy that put the video together...he should have been awarded a TD on the previous play, but it got blown dead.

 

6. The FSU kicker must have been REALLY tired.

 

7. The kick is up and it is Wide......AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Why am I always at work when these neat things are shown on TV?

Damn I'm gonna miss the 94 OB. Guess I'm a day late to set the Tivo. I'll get the Miami game though. I've been wanting to watch that again.

That's becauase it is ESPN Classic,not ESPN Nebraska kicks the holy crap out of Florida and it isn't much of a game because of it.

Not for sure if the video has the sound of the whistle, but the one thing you won't hear about from the FSU fan is when that whistle was blown. The whistle was blown on the push back by the defenders. Floyd bounced forward and ran into the end zone only AFTER the whistle had blown.

 

Selective memory. But every fan is like that sometimes.
