I was at that game vs. Rice. I remember it so vividly, it was a Thursday night and I can still see the flag hoisted over what was the old east side.... very moving, thanks for sharing this!!!
That was one of the most surreal Nebraska games I have ever been to. There were 78,000 people packed in the stadium and it was completely silent before the game, I can't imagine there will ever be an atmosphere like that again in Memorial.
