welcome from B10 land!

[huskerscott]

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

 

It's great to hear that some of you have an open mind to joining the B10 and might even see some positives to it.

 

As a side note: most CFB fans are aware of Nebraska's tradition, NCs, Heismans and whatnot, but you know what put me in awe of the Huskers?

 

When I was a little kid, NU played Minnesota and beat them 84-10 or 84-14 or something. I remember reading the newspaper box score of that game in total astonishment. I mean, Minnesota sucks but 84 points?!

IIRC they scored 70-something in a game later that season. Can any of you hardcores tell me what year that was?

 

1983

 

84-13

 

They had a nickname for our offense that year. We were known as "The Scoring Explosion".

 

darn it nexus, you beat me to it. Maybe I need to take a typing class so i can alittle faster in that department.

That would be 1983, the "Scoring Explosion" year. Turner Gill, Mike Rozier and Irving Fryar.

 

Part of the reason for that crazy score against Minnesota was the travel squad restriction. We couldn't bring all 1,000,000,000 of our walk-ons, so we had to play just the first three or four units. The first and second string ran the Gophers into the ground in the first quarter or so, so Osborne put in the scrubs. But they kept running up and down the field and they needed a breather, so he had to use just about everybody.

thanks for all the replies, guys. this is great!

[knapplc]

Thanks, Nexus. I only beat you once or twice a month, so it's nice to get some recognition.

Yeah '83 was quite memorable. We scored 50 or more points in 7 out of 13 games that year. 56, 84, 63, 69, 51, 72, 67.

I gotchu, knapplc.

Looks like knappy won the race! I haven't seen that many blind replies to a post before.

A great thing about this board (and Husker fans in general) is that we welcoming to fans of other teams and we are knowledgable about football. In five minutes of your request, you got 6 replies from 6 different posters, many with links. I really like that discussions are often backed up with links and sources (our line out weighs your line by 34.3 pounds and has on average 3 more starts per person), and very little "because your line couldn't block my mama" arguments that are so prevalent on other boards. And members are held up to high standards as far as personal attacks.

Welcome aboard.

Well Buckeye7..I hope we see you on the field very soon and every year after. Looking forward to a hard fought rivalry with Ohio St and others in the Big Ten. Hope they wrap this all up for us soon. I think we will stand up well to the SEC.

i'd love to play against the buck eyes, something my dad and i could go to up in ohio.

Probably every other year. I doubt we'd be in the same division.(I hope there is enough teams for 2 divisions.)

 

But we could play twice in some years, once in the regular season and again in the conference championship game.. Now that would be fun....

[Bradr]

Welcome the the board Buckeye. Hope to be playing you soon!

 

The real question is this:

 

If/when we join the Big 10 we probably are in the East conference with Minnesota. Do THEY remember this game?

 

I could see some of the old timers with some hard feelings on this one. I know I will never forget the 10-70 Texas Tech Fiasco or the 0-38 at the half against OK State. Oh the memories...
