National Anthem at NW@Iowa game

I remember doing this before in Memorial. I think it was right after 9/11 but im not sure. I definitely remember doing it though.

 
Between striping the stadium, the 2 card stunts and finally beating those damn cats - Kinnick was an awesome place to be Saturday night :)

 
Nebraska used to have a card section. Then things went horribly, horribly wrong:

Omaha attorney confesses to 1972 Memorial Stadium card section prank


The score -- 62-0 -- was one of the more remarkable ones in the history of the Missouri-Nebraska football rivalry.

But what happened at halftime on Oct. 14, 1972, became a riveting whodunit.

Until now.

Someone switched the cards for the card section.

They were supposed to spell messages saluting the U.S. Navy in honor of its 197th anniversary. Instead, they read "Devaney for President," "Johnny R. (as in Rodgers) is shifty" and, finally -- cover your ears, kids -- "Screw Mizzou."

The prank caused a "monstrous rigmarole," in the words of a Daily Nebraskan editorial the following week.

There was an investigation. Newspapers ran front-page stories. University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials announced they had taken disciplinary action against those involved, but their names were kept secret.
Pre-horror days:
