With all the uncertainty and chaos surrounding Husker Nation I give you:

Think back to what it means to all the first timers, and remember your own first time at Memorial Stadium.

 

I was 7. My dad and I were in the 93rd row of south stadium (counted the steps). Don't know who we played that day or if we won, but it didn't matter. I ate a runza and cheered as loud as I could and will never turn away. Go Big Red 4 Life!

1955 and some of it I remember like it was yesterday. Spending the day with the greatest man I have ever known. Him sharing his life long love of Nebraska with me. I honestly did not know if we won or lost, it was the love of the game, the sounds, the people. Some how we have lost what this is truly about.

 

Thank you for posting, it had to have been a fantastic day for your son.

Student. Drunk. Dont remember.

 

Edit: I do remember, arguing with another student I knew that was student worker who let me into the press box level...

 

That was pretty hilarious.

That makes perfect sense.

I think I won her over with. My voice is the media too! That or she just wanted to be done with the interaction.

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly which one it was. Sometime during the 1981 season. I would have been four.

 

The first one I do remember was against New Mexico State the next year. 69-0 I think. Rozier broke off a 40 yard run on the first play from scrimmage and it was pretty much fish in a barrel. That was the week before the infamous PSU extra-wide-field game.

 

I still have a program from the 1983 spring game with about 10-15 autographs, although they are mostly obscure players.

2004 Southern Miss, with Joe Dailey running out of bounds on 4th down to lose the game.
