Zammers Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Dear Nebraska, On August 25, 2001 I made my way up to Lincoln for the TCU vs. Nebraska game. What a day that was. TCU put up a helluva fight in a losing effort (21-7). I also got to see Eric Crouch play which was an amazing experience. Little did the Nebraska faithful know at the time, but TCU held the key to the Huskers play in the 2001 National Championship. TCU beat Southern Miss on December 7, 2001 to boost Nebraska's strength of schedule and hop Oregon to play Miami in the national championship. A gift we were happy to give. Almost 8 years to the day.........Nebraska can repay that debt owed to TCU. With a NU win on Saturday TCU has the chance (who knows what those BCS'ers have up their sleeve) to play in the national championship game. Funny how this game is being played right here in Arlington only 15 minutes from TCU. I guarantee purple shirts are traded in for RED ones this Saturday at the game. Good luck this weekend and PUNCH THEM IN THE MOUTH!!!!! We got your back down here in DFW! Give em Hell, Zammers Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hey, I was at the 2001 title game. Let me tell you, us playing there was no gift. lol Quote Link to comment
kshusker89 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'd be happy for NU to help out hopefully we can come through....Patterson is probably my favorite coach outside of NU's pelini because well he was born in the small town i was born and raised in Larned KS haha noone im sure has heard of this town.

808Husker in KCMO Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've siad it before and I'll say it again. The computers have Cincinnati ranked #3 and they belong to a AQ BCS conference. If UT loses, Cinci will be in the NC game. Your only hope is if cinci loses as well this weekend. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Haha! Funny how that works. Here's hoping we can do something for you. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yeah, but this was kind of an interesting reminder of how that one trivial game made the difference in 2001. Of course similar games played in September made every bit as much difference, but the timing was funny. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Alright so I made a few calls and found out that we're going to go ahead and win the game just for you guys. Thanks for the kind words though and here's to hoping we can return the favor. Quote Link to comment

spankytoes Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Funny, I thought Florida, VT and Texas losing their conference title games put NU in the title game. Didn't realize that TCU was such an important cog in that... Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ah memories. That was so crazy. Watching Cu beat texass(poor mack should've been playing major....) then seeing LSU beat florida....then hearing all the whining and moaning from the 2 loss colorado team....then getting our butts handed too us by those cheating hurricanes....(yes cheating the way their reciever grabbed our cornerback at the snap by his collar and jerked him down to speed by him....even the announcers talked about it)....(they didn't need to cheat)....what was this thread about?

Zammers Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Funny, I thought Florida, VT and Texas losing their conference title games put NU in the title game. Didn't realize that TCU was such an important cog in that... Well Colorado won the Big 12 but had 2 losses. So the computers left it up to 1 loss Nebraska and 1 loss Oregon. The difference in the end was TCU adding to strength of schedule and putting Nebraska ahead of Oregon in the computers by a sliver. Your welcome! Quote Link to comment

Miss game and rooting for So. Miss, not realizing the consequences, because i lived in So. Miss for awhile. i've enjoyed seeing TCU's success lately. they deserve a chance to prove themselves.
