Watching Schleshinger get those two touchdowns against Miami in the 94 championship game
Tommies Infamous Run
and Crouch's pitch and catch against oklahoma
WORST
The day when i found out that Berringer passed away, i know, not a game, but definitely worst husker memory
Being shutout by arizona St. back in the 90's
And anytime colorado won.

Being at the game with my Dad when we finally beat OU in "78
Winning the National Championship in 94
Being at the orange bowl for Tom's last game
Worst
Losing to Miami for the "83 championship, that team was freaking awesome
Losing to FSU for the "93 title
The first and the second time in my lifetime not making a bowl :bang :bang :bang :bang

Not sure if "dropped" is the term I'd use to describe the '84 2-point conversion miss. The d-back knocked it away before it ever reached Smith's hands. Just wanted to clean that up.
Best
--------
1. '95 Orange Bowl
2. '96 Fiesta Bowl
(too many to choose from)
3. I think it was '83(?) when NU beat OU in Norman where Neil Harris (I think) tipped away a pass at the end to seal it.
3. I think it was '78(?) when Siimms fumbled at the end to seal it in Lincoln. I remember the awe I felt watching the fans rush the field. This is my earliest memory of Husker football.
Worst
---------
1. The way many outside of NE find Osborne's image tarnished due to a perceived mishandling of Lawrence Phillips.
2. Hiring Callahan instead of Pelini or Gill. (Obviously this is an after-the-fact worst moment.)
3. The Disaster in the Desert (This wouldve been the '84 Orange Bowl, but the '94 and '95 seasons cured it.)

It's funny how we all seem to be on the same page here.
Best
1. How we won the Orange Bowl after the '94 season. I still get goosebumps remembering Cory's 2nd TD.
2. Fiesta Bowl after '95 season: the 2 sacks in a row where the first got Wuerffel just short of a safety and then on the next play...2 points!
3. Frazier outplaying Ward in Orange Bowl after '93 season.
Worst
1. Brook Berringer's death
2. Losing to FSU in the 1994 Orange Bowl. Cried when we missed the FG.
3. Losing to CU 62-36. It was clear then that the dynasty was over.

Best:
1) The "Fumble-rooski" and laughing at my old man afterwards (he hated Nebraska with a passion)
Worst:
1) The "Fumble-rooski" and finding out my old man could still knock me down even though I was bigger than he was.
