I was at the NU v MU game of 1997. First trip to Columbia. And, our "seats" were at the base of the "M" white rock. We were amongst both Nebraska and Missouri fans...predominately Mizzou fans...especially the youngins'.
Everything went well, right up to the point where it seemed as if Mizzou was going to beat Nebraska.
Now, I don't want to criticize a particular fan-base, however, I will say this: the Mizzou fans in our area began to "chuck" small chunks of rocks at us...small chunks from that white "M." It was time to leave.
We decided to leave, and made our way up to the concession area...with the TVs.
My friends and I soon witnessed the drive and, subsequently, "the catch."
All in all, the road trip to Columbia is a great time. The fans are insane, as the MU campus is "wet." I've been to 3 Nebraska games in Mizzou....the 1997 game was the Sh*%. The 1999 game, an empty bottle of Jack Daniels narrowly missed a friend's head. The 2001 game...yup...the Crouch run. :woo
All in all...I can say my trips to Columbia have been downright great. Course, I was also privy to witness two of the recent greatest plays in Nebraska Football history.
I consider myself lucky...it seems that many "historic" moments took place
in Columbia. :restore
