Trendon Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 When ESPN wants to take the time to do something right and not go the cheese route, they sure show how they got to be the #1 sports source. Nebraska is in there a couple of times through the first two segments, but neither one is real fun to watch. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/stor...amp;id=2915514# Quote Link to comment

dustinl15 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Talk about some bad memories to be bringing back... They're definitely not good ones. Hopefully we have some better one, Oklahoma game with the pass to Crouch back in 2001. Or the game against Mizzu with the kicking touchdown catch. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 #84 ROAD KILL Lincoln, Neb. | Oct. 4, 1980 Florida State linebacker Paul Piurowski forced a fumble, recovered by Garry Futch, in the final seconds and the underdog Seminoles stunned No. 3 Nebraska, 18-14. Husker fans gave the Seminoles a standing ovation as they left the field, and Florida State fans everywhere date their program's rise under Bobby Bowden from beleaguered to the big leagues from this road victory. Sure it hurt when it happened, but has to be one of the proudest moments of the Husker family. Quote Link to comment

We treated really well, however it will be a cold day in hell before Florida State makes a return trip to Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 #84 ROAD KILL Lincoln, Neb. | Oct. 4, 1980 Florida State linebacker Paul Piurowski forced a fumble, recovered by Garry Futch, in the final seconds and the underdog Seminoles stunned No. 3 Nebraska, 18-14. Husker fans gave the Seminoles a standing ovation as they left the field, and Florida State fans everywhere date their program's rise under Bobby Bowden from beleaguered to the big leagues from this road victory. Sure it hurt when it happened, but has to be one of the proudest moments of the Husker family. For some reason..It Didn't hurt that much..I just remember being proud of the rest of our fans for showing appreciation for a great effort. Most surprising one so far: That Alabama was not integrated yet in 1970. Is that a misprint? My Wife was a year old. #62FORWARD PROGRESS Birmingham, Ala. | Sept. 12, 1970 Sam Cunningham rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns in No. 3 USC's 42-21 victory over No. 16 Alabama in Birmingham to open the 1970 season. Years later, Bear Bryant was quoted as saying, "Cunningham did more for integration in Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King Jr." Few remember that Cunningham's backfield mate Clarence Davis, who scored twice, grew up in Birmingham. The next year, Bryant integrated his team. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 they arent the only ones who credit their rise after a win against us....even the old loses hurt...how did we lose the 41' rose bowl? dammit. we should have snuck that fullback in there from the 31 yd line!! Quote Link to comment
BGREDSTUCKN IA Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It was probably Kirk the Kock's idea to put the "Roll Left" as one of the main links right on the front page. Douche Bag! Quote Link to comment

Aside from the standing ovation, I remember it being weirdly silent as everyone shuffled out of Memorial with the loss. Quote Link to comment

In fact, there is a lot of speculation in the SEC that Bryant deliberately scheduled that game for just that purpose - that he was able to use the score to force the Alabama board to permit integration to remain competative in football. I seem to recall there was recently a book published about it, but for the life of me I can't recall the name. Perhaps some of our board members living in Alabama can provide that.

LouisianaHusker Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 #49 OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE Columbia, Mo. | Nov. 8, 1997 Some teams win it all. Others seem tapped by Fate. No. 1 Nebraska, trailing Missouri 38-31, had :07 remaining to go the final 12 yards. As Scott Frost's end-zone pass caromed off receiver Shevin Wiggins' hands, and then his foot, Tiger fans began celebrating. With a grass-top dive, freshman Matt Davison cradled the carom for a touchdown. Nebraska won in overtime, 45-38, and went on to a share of the national title. the video http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/ivp/in...p;catname=ESPNU Quote Link to comment
LouisianaHusker Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 #47 no so nice #47 TWICE AS NICE Miami | January 1, 1994 In 1993, Bobby Bowden finally won his first national championship -- twice. Florida State went ahead of Nebraska 18-16 in the Orange Bowl on Scott Bentley's 22-yard field goal with :21 left. The Huskers drove to the Seminole 28 but time ran out. Cheers! Gatorade bath! Hold on! The officials put one second back on the clock. The decision caught Husker kicker Byron Bennett by surprise, too. He missed wide left. Quote Link to comment

LouisianaHusker Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I remember watching that game when I was stationed in San Antonio. I had to goto work that following sunday and one of the guys I worked with was also from the homeland and we talked about that game the entire shift. Quote Link to comment

I emailed Maisel about that. Bryant absolutely did not say that. Instead, it was one of his assistants, Jerry Claiborne. Oddly, the only reason I know that is because I saw it some time ago during an .... ESPN segment. Quote Link to comment
