walksalone Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yea I would have loved to see Wistrom and Peter unleashed on the Wolverines I think we'd have handled them for as much trouble as they had beating Washington State in the Rose Bowl, and as badly as we whooped Tennessee, I'd say 49-21 would have been the outcome...

NUpolo8 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The '97 team would have absolutely destroyed Michigan. Would not have been close. That team had the best defense I ever saw live and maybe the best of the last 20 years. Quote Link to comment

Texas 2. Ohio St. 3. Nebraska After Texas & Oh St lost their bowl games, Nebraska won the AP poll. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 1970 1971 1994 1995 1997 (Shared with Michigan, did we share the '70 or '71 titles?) 2007 (Shared with LSU) Funny. 1997 - we were cheated, plain and simple. There's nothing that irks me more than to hear some commentator talk about Michigan's 1997 "championship" or to hear Wolverines fans yack on about how they won the title. I point out to them that they had every opportunity to play for the REAL title, all they had to do was play in a REAL conference that wasn’t so wrapped up in itself. Bunch of posers, they are. We were the best team in 1997, we have the trophy that counts, and we have the right and secure knowledge that if we would have lined up across the field from Michigan that year, we would have trounced them and ended all doubt in their minds. Husker fans know who was the best team that year. Wolverines fans can delude themselves all they want. At the end of the day, they know who the real champion was that year. They know.

junior4949 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 LOL, you guys need to let 1997 go. If you think we got jobbed in 1997, go ask Penn State what they think of 1994. Every fan base has their own opinion. I'm betting USC and Georgia somewhat feel like they had a claim this year. Until there is a playoff, expect more of the same which will be always because more than likely we'll never see a playoff. Quote Link to comment

That was makeup call from when Nebraska got screwed during the 1982 year vs Penn St. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 While I truly believe that NU would have killed Michigan in 1997, I love the fact that it's still argued about 10 years later. This is what makes college football so great; we still care and will argue with people about whose team is better a decade later. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I would hate to see college football go the way of the NFL with a playoff system. Does it really matter if it's a mythical national championship? Not to me! The passion of the fans that continues 365 days a year, not just at Nebraska but across the country, is what makes college football what it is. A day or two after the Super Bowl... who cares who won?
