grandpasknee Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Out defense was just ridiculous fast. Our defense was ridiculous fast, and mean. Our offense was fast, and mean. And they both knew how to excel at the basics. Quote Link to comment
The Red & White Knight Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just don't show the 96 game in Tempe, that was embarassing. Wow..that balloon deflating comment came quick. Of course, you are right Clyde40...there are thousands of negatives we could talk about, but let's don't on this thread. Why not just enjoy the splendor and relive a brief moment of aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. Seriously. Quote Link to comment

Definitely different times. I watched part of the Fiesta bowl (the thrashing of Wuerffel, Spurrier and the Gators) and a few other games tonight while cleaning my AR-15...those fellas weren't just good, they were overwhelmingly dominant. My goodness! edit: Forgot to add...where will you be tomorrow...hope it is one of those "where I was when...." moments..in a good way. Quote Link to comment

Epic-Nemesis Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Huskers should have fired whoever the coach was. NU defence gave up some pretty big plays. Not to mention the poor throwing mechanics of the QBs. And those darned turnovers. Man...watching makes me miss the offence huddle. Watching them break the huddle and line up together as a unit knowing what they will do and how they will do it would be so intimidating. Also makes me miss how hard our defencive players hit. Not just one player but multiple blackshirts just drilling the ball carrier. They made anyone who touched the ball pay a price for it much like how a kid pays for disturbing a hornets nest. Even the solid hits on recievers trying to catch the ball or the ball just passed them would make anyone think twice to even wanna catch the darn thing let alone come near it. Those blackshirts knew how to stay at home, protect their territory, and attack like a rabid rottweiler protecting it's turf. Thanks for posting the video! Just got home from a crappy nights work and this just made my day. Quote Link to comment

I was bored...I went to the shooting range after work, so I got out my cleaning kit and sat at the table cleaning my rifle and watching old Husker highlights...much better than watching any of the live games that were on last night. Gotta be ready for the Zombie Apolcalypse and all don't you know? 1 Quote Link to comment
OldGoldKnights Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thanks grandpa! That was the first game I ever went to, never will forget the first play from scrimmage. Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thanks grandpa! That was the first game I ever went to, never will forget the first play from scrimmage. What a great first game! Sadly my first live Husker game was after I got out of the Army. Enrolled in UN-L, Fall of 1977. First game of the year...Washington State. Gads...I still feel that numb, dumbfounded, dazed and confused feeling just thinking about it. (I have to admit..the dazed and confused part may or may not have had to do with the game itself ) But the next week Alabama came to town and all was well. I remember a guy from 11th floor Abel putting his Brand X speakers in the window and blasting "Sweet Home Alabama" on a slower than normal rpm (think vinyl turntable kids)...an awesome day for sure.

CheeseHusker Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 That was my freshman year.... I picked a good one to have student tickets. Everyone was panicking cause the Phillips thing had just happened and Ahman Green hadn't emerged quite yet.... Childs scores on the first play and all around me, people were saying "you know, I think we're gonna be okay." Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thanks GPK. Good watch while waiting for the game tonight. Got me thinking that if LP doesn't self-destruct and if Ahman stays for his senior season we could quite well have 2 more Heismans. T_O_B G>B>R Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Gosh, Jake Plummer was failing hard. Terrible throws. Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Watched '96 game on 8th floor of Cather Hall with about 30 guys..... for most of the second half, you could hear a pin drop. That was a nightmare. I'm still trying to convince myself it didn't happen. Ordered a Domino's pizza at 11:30 and ate the whole thing by myself. Quote Link to comment
