Cdog923 Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 I voted for '09 Oklahoma, but Rex's juke in the OSU game almost made me vote for it. Quote Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Ohio State at home 2011. That and setting off the chain reaction to get Scott Frost here. 2 Quote Link to comment

It was also effectively a division championship game so it was more significant in that regard as well. 1 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 No one should pick 2010 Missouri. That was TM's injury. I consider that the worst win of the Pelini era (although chances are good he would've been injured in some other game anyway). 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I picked Miami. Not because it was such a significant game. But, I was there and I have honestly never witnessed or experienced a Nebraska crowd like that in Memorial Stadium. It was truly a strange experience. 4 Quote Link to comment

beorach Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I gotta go with the bowl win against Arizona because we made them look like the basketball school they are. I can't recall another game in which the Corn were really clicking on all cylinders for an entire game (under Bo) like that one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Beating a very solid Arizona team on both sides of the ball in the 2009 Holiday Bowl might have been the most complete game of the Pelini Era, demonstrating great scheme, strategy and coaching. It created a very good vibe for Bo's third season. The 2008 win against Colorado might still be the most fun, and that counts for something. The 2011 win at Penn State just days after Paterno was fired was Bo Pelini's most impressive performance as a coach and representative of the University. If you want the game that probably impressed non-Huskers the most, it's still the 2009 loss to Texas. 3 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Ohio State 2011 is an odd choice. It was the greatest comeback in Husker history, but it came against a .500 team that dominated a lifeless Nebraska in the first half, and tanked when they lost their star quarterback in the second half. Ohio State was still a brand name, but the game meant little that year. OSU lost to Purdue a couple weeks later. And if it was the best win of the Bo Pelini era, Bo Pelini sure wasn't feeling it. That was the game that resulted in Tapegate #1, where Bo went off on the fans and said he wanted out of Nebraska. I really don't miss that douchebag. 5 Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 0.01 may have been Pelini's best win, even though it was not official. Blame it on the refs, or the combination of the best kickoff specialist kicking the ball out of bounds along with a boneheaded personal foul, but either way, the Huskers had that game won. 5 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 7 hours ago, The Dude said: 2010 Missouri. Even if they weren't ranked as high, 2009 vs Missouri in the rain was a good one, too. Gave us some great pics, like the Suh-plex (crack!): And my old avatar: 9 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I picked the Missery game when Roy Helu racked up 3 bills plus rushing the ball. Bonus: Seeing the defense absolutely dominate that punk Blaine Gabbert. (Side note: What kind of loser parents names their kid Blaine?) Quote Link to comment
