Best Win of the Riley Era

[ColoradoHusk]

I'm one of the small minority of people who voted the UCLA win over the Sparty win.  My reasoning:  I'm a Husker fan first and foremost.  But I'm also a B1G fan.  When we played Michigan State we already had six losses.  Our season was in the toilet.  The Sparty win didn't salvage our season.  And it almost knocked them out of the FBS playoff.  (Maybe it would have been better if it'd knocked them out of the playoff since Bama whooped Sparty by five TDs.  Ouch!).  As for the UCLA win, it ended a crappy season on a high note, and gave us a bit of momentum going into the final month of recruiting.  /jmho   

You’re a Big Ten fan?  I don’t get that reasoning at all. Rooting for your conference is football socialism. I just root for Nebraska.

That thought process is foreign to me.

You weren't happy we beat the eventual conference champions in a night game on national TV because it made them look bad?

I'm *happy* any time the Huskers win.  The Sparty win was a close 2nd for me, among the biggest wins of the Riley era--sparse as that list is.  2nd for the reasons I mentioned above..
