scarletNcream Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 They almost lost to a team led by Ryan Leaf.....enough said. This people! Do we really need to discuss this until September? Look, the article was written by a NorthWestern grad. The guy makes a mention about the "kick" but forgets about the out of bounds catch and the trap in the endzone that I might add Todd Blackledge himself admitted too. Garbage in garbage out.

Malth Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He's got a point. Michigan rolled through their schedule and never had to squeak by anyone. We've been living a 15 year myth folks. Show's over http://michigansport...otball-schedule Looks to me like Michigan had a couple squeakers that year. They barely beat Washintgon St. definitely a weaker team than Tennessee. Nebraska beat them handily. That's the joke. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 And the whining continues....................we've got the trophy, deal with it, we had the better team. Quote Link to comment

HuskerThor Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Best way too decide this, since it can't actually be decided: Nebraska------>Peyton Manning------>42-17 Michigan------>Ryan Leaf-------------->21-16 Peyton "Greatest Ever" Manning ---- or ----- Ryan "failure" Leaf End of debate.... Dan Marino was better than Manning is. Had to throw that out there. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I would rather have a national championship that was decided by coaches of the game instead of sportswiters any day. Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 In that season when Michigan played OSU the OSU offense averaged 5+ yds per carry. The Um fans would have everyone believe that they could of stymied the #1 rushing offense in the nation. Frost and company would of ran roughshod over UM. Quote Link to comment

My argument exactly RR. And Leaf should have had one more play. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
KJ. Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I would rather have a national championship that was decided by coaches of the game instead of sportswiters any day. Why? Coaches can't watch games, and they have no idea what's going on. Bo doesn't even know the names of the best players on the teams we play, why do you think that type of person would be a qualified voter? Quote Link to comment

They had USC picked to win nc this year and ND not even ranked. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Nebraska deserved the trophy no question. Two corrections though, I believe the catch was on 4th down, and it is illegal to kick the ball. That was one of the questions they were trying to decide if it was intentional or not. That was the reason for all the presure at the end. Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well that is how screwed my memory is. I was traveling during the game and did not see it. Sorry for the misinformation. Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 As bullish most on here are about the huskers, I find it hard to take most peoples memory on here about the 97 team. From memory, I find it hard to say that either team would have easily won the game. To me, it would have been a good match up. As for the article, that is a horrible reason to give it to Michigan.
