1. Jack Hoffman, 7, runs for touchdown in Nebraska Red-White Game

 

We all know the story by now. Hoffman, the young Nebraska fans who’s battling brain cancer, delighted the Memorial Stadium faithful – and the rest of the sports world – with his memorable and emotional touchdown run in the annual Nebraska Red-White Game. Best part of it all, the Huskers seemed to enjoy the moment even more than Hoffman, who was dressed in a Nebraska uniform for the big day. And, of course, Hoffman immediately became a celebrity.

 

2. Nebraska uses last-second Hail Mary to stun Northwestern

 

With the clock winding down and trailing 24-21, Nebraska had no choice but to go for a last-second Hail Mary vs. Northwestern. Everybody knew what was coming, and, somehow, third-string quarterback Ron Kellogg III got enough on the heave for it to reach the end zone, where it deflected off a Northwestern defender and landed in Jordan Westerkamp’s waiting arms. Game over. Nebraska wins. And what a scene it was at Memorial Stadium.

 

10. Nebraska fans storm court in Devaney finale

 

A win over an unranked team rarely, if ever, warrants a court storming. There’s no shame in doing it, however, when a team pulls off an unexpected win in the final game of its home gym’s history. Nebraska men’s basketball fans – a starved fanbase – didn’t need to apologize for storming the court and celebrating after the Huskers’ 54-52 win over Minnesota to shut down the Devaney Center, the team’s home since 1977.

Throughout all the bullshat, we did have a pretty great year. Maybe the football team came up short but overall there was alot to be proud of.

I remember one crazy rocking night at the Devaney. Don't remember the year, it was when Danny Nee was coaching. We beat Tulane to go to the NIT final four in New York. That place was as loud and crazy as any place I've ever been. LOL....people were starting to call the Devaney the "Nee Joint".....good times.

Good recognition!

 

Can't really argue with that list. Despite not having a stellar year on the football field, we did have some exciting moments throughout football AND basketball!

The Penn State win was fun. Michigan was too. What am I saying.. all Husker wins are fun. And the NW hail mary catch still makes me shake my head and smile.

Oh man, that game against Minnesota...if only I'd delayed graduating I could've been in the student section for that one. I miss the Bob.
