CheeseHusker Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 November 23rd is a bad day for us, historically. Like, REALLY BAD. Like, 9 straight losses bad, including some of the worst and most notorious in school history. 2007: Colorado 65-51 LOSS 2001: Colorado 62-36 LOSS 1990: Oklahoma 45-10 LOSS 1985: Oklahoma 27-7 LOSS 1974: Oklahoma 28-14 LOSS 1973: Oklahoma 27-0 LOSS 1972: Oklahoma 17-14 LOSS 1968: Oklahoma 47-0 LOSS 1967: Oklahoma 21-14 LOSS The last win on November 23 was 1963, against Oklahoma.... a game that was controversial because it was 24 hours after the death of JFK and there were many who felt it should not have been played. Wait a minute.... bad karma? In all seriousness.... what happens tomorrow probably has nothing to do with this, but I did find this kind of spooky. Should point out that not all of these fell on Black Friday (obviously it's impossible for it to happen three years in a row, for example)..... but the last three have. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Y U EVEN GOT TO BRING THIS UP, man? Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Perhaps by bringing attention to it, then it won't happen. Then we can laugh about how silly and irrational this is, and all will be right Quote Link to comment
HuskerBacon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The good news is that we're playing Iowa Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It makes sense. It's my ex-wife's birthday. Nothing good comes from November 23rds. Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just realized Chatelain basically posted this pretty much verbatim.... only before me. I had no idea he'd written it. He even played up the Kennedy thing. Weird. Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I see a lot of losses to Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a whole other beast than Iowa. Then the Colorado losses happened with probably the best game planned game ever (with a pretty decent Colorado team, no matter that we were ranked #1) and during one of our worst teams in the last 10 years. You can see a trend in the losses on the date, but how many of those times were we favored? Quote Link to comment
RedTexan Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Frank Solich took the torch of losing on November 23 with him. It now rests in Ohio's hands. We don't want it back. Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Curse over. See, all we had to do was mention it. Gee, it wasn't easy though, was it. Quote Link to comment
